Franken: "I cannot speculate" if more harassment accusations will surface
on his apology tour, franken says that it is unknown if he will need more apology tours. that's usually what you say when you're hoping & praying that the other 50 that you can remember keep quiet, not to mention the 100 or so that you probably can't remember.

he'll check himself into rehab for gropers if any more of his victims go public.


Quote:Franken: ‘I cannot speculate’ if more harassment accusations will surface

An "embarrassed" and "ashamed" Sen. Al Franken, D-Minn., apologized to supporters and the women who say he groped them in a brief appearance on Monday outside his office on his first day back in the Senate since the accusations became public.

"I just want to again say I am sorry. I know there are no magic words I can say to regain your trust, I know that's going to take time," he said. "I hope that starting work today I can do that."

Franken told reporters he did not know if more allegations would surface.

"If you had asked me two weeks ago if any woman would come forward with any allegation like this, I would have said no," the senator said. "I cannot speculate."

He continued: "This has been a shock, and it's been extremely humbling. I am embarrassed. I feel ashamed. What I'm going to do is I'm going to start my job, I'm going (to) go back to work, I'm going to work as hard as I can."

I see he's going with the I don't remember defense. How Trump of him. Should just go all out and just call them liars. He probably doesn't know, as everrespect would say, because he assumes they all wanted it and liked it. 05-stirthepot

If they didn't say no, I see no issue. The only issue is he keeps apologizing.

So you think it's okay to grab a woman by the ***** as long as they don't say no?

How has that worked out for you?

Spare me the fake indignation.

When have you ever had sex without someone initiating it and escalating to that event?

Maybe if you buy a prostitute it is an implied contract, but pretty much every other sexual encounter requires an initiation and escalation that you cannot be sure if it is wanted or unwanted. Hell, I'm married and still don't bat but about .300.

I wasn't talking about someone you are already in a relationship with.

I'm pretty sure in some states, just because a woman doesn't say NO doesn't mean it isn't sexual assault.

In Boobs McFrankenGrope's defense, Leanne Tweedan didnt say "no". Then again, she was unconscious at the time the groping occurred.

I cannot imagine the emotional trauma she must be going through. I've been there. Once in college I passed out and someone drew a ***** on my face with a sharpie.

I guess it depends on what the definition of "speculate" is......
