It's interesting how as this story goes on that saying "I'm sorry" is good enough now at least for some of the accused.

If you have a big D after your name or you're gay a sorry is all you need.

That's not true at all.

Who has said it's ok now?

Almost everyone on the left is criticizing him. Unlike the other side, who used Joseph and Mary to say that Roy Moore as all good.

I can’t think of a single poster here that defended Moore in any way shape or form.

If we're going by just this board, no one has defended Franklin either.

TM was clearly talking about people outside of this board.

Now that you've had some time to digest it, you realize that CK's apology was just a slickly written denial, right?

"These stories are true" is a denial? Hot take

Im just joking but didn't he immediately follow that with saying that he always asked and none of them said no?

It would be like if I said you ate people's lunches at work.

And you say

These stories are true, but I always asked them if I could have their lunches first.

Sure, and if they said yes it makes me a jerk, not a criminal.

I don't think the throw-in line about always asking was meant to shield him from criminal charges, I think it was in the hopes that they MIGHT shield him from civil action.

Outside of a few select areas (children, elderly, handicapped, etc.) and professions (healthcare provider, law enforcement, etc.) the law treats consent as consent, no matter the fame of either party.

Best local news opening ever

Didn't see that before but it was definitely worth Googling.

Really? That was a standby of the B&B opening credits.

This by itself is such a minor issue but the fact that he so casually grabbed a handful of butt, in front of the husband, shows that he probably did shit like this all the time. Also the fact that she posted it on FB at the time it happened shows that she isn't just making up a story to jump on the bandwagon.

So many on the left are providing cover for Franken, not shocking really.

I got a hypothetical situation. Let's say a nameless US Senator went to a party, hooked up with a woman who was not his wife, got drunk, offered to drive her home, careened off of a bridge, swam to safety but left her for 12 hours to drown without reporting the accident to any authorities. Would this Senator survive in office, not that any such incident has ever occurred...

The Social Media Age has made it different. If that happened today, he'd be in jail.

We need a return to 1950's society!

Victim number 5 for this hypocrite. https://www.politico.com/story/2017/11/ ... ing-270505 An Army veteran has accused Sen. Al Franken of groping her breast during a 2003 USO tour in Kuwait, the fifth woman to come forward with accusations against the Minnesota Democrat in the last two weeks. Former military policewoman Stephanie Kemplin told CNN Franken put his hand on her breast during a photo opportunity, keeping it there for five to 10 seconds, which she said was long enough that he should have noticed if it was a mistake. "When he put his arm around me, he groped my right breast. He kept his hand all the way over on my breast," Kemplin told CNN. "I've never had a man put their arm around me and then cup my breast. So he was holding my breast on the side." After Franken failed to move his hand, Kemplin said she shifted her body to get his hand off of her breast. In a photo of the two released by CNN, Franken’s hand is around Kemplin’s back at roughly chest level but is not on her breast. A Franken spokesperson said in a statement that the senator "takes thousands of photos and has met tens of thousands of people and he has never intentionally engaged in this kind of conduct." His office said he would cooperate with a Senate ethics investigation. The accusation made by Kemplin matches a pattern established by the other allegations against Franken. His first accuser, broadcaster Leeann Tweeden, said Franken insisted on kissing her during a rehearsal for a skit the two performed on a USO tour in 2006 and then later appeared to touch her chest in a photo as she slept. Other women have said Franken touched them inappropriately during photo ops. "I was in a war zone...You were on a USO tour — are you trying to boost the morale of the troops or are you trying to boost your own?" Kemplin said. "I just feel so sorry for that young girl in that picture."
