It's up to seven...

Quote:A former Democratic congressional aide is accusing the Minnesota Democrat of forcibly trying to kiss her 11 years ago, Politico reported Wednesday. In a statement, Franken denied the latest accusation against him.

The unidentifed former aide said the incident took place after a taping of Franken's radio show, before he was a senator, Politico said.

6 democratic senators just demanded that he resign!

stuart smalley is getting testy.

Quote:In a statement, Franken said: "This allegation is categorically not true and the idea that I would claim this as my right as an entertainer is preposterous. I look forward to fully cooperating with the ongoing ethics committee investigation."

8 now.

He'gawn!

10!

FWIW, I believe him on this one and on the others. I'm also willing to believe he did not try to force his tongue in that first woman's mouth.

More importantly, nothing has been proven.

I think the fact he seemed to admit fault in some of his earlier actions does lend itself to some credibility on his part, and to be fair a lot of the claims are the sort that I'm not exactly sure we should be removing members of congress over, but at some point it's too much and he should resign. I really don't know if that's the case yet, but it's certainly getting there.

Let the ethics probe take it's full course and the senate act... Same with Moore, outside of hte media there has been nothing. Do an investigation and if there is any fire to the smoke boot him as well.

That's lazy, and removes any sort of nuance between the allegations of each man. Neither are good, but they aren't nearly comparable. We've got two signed photos proving Moore knew these women. Moore himself stated he knew these women. Now he is stating he doesn't know any of these women and it's all fake. We don't need an ethic committee to prove that.

I know the real nuance you're talking about...

No, I'm talking about the very real, discernible differences between allegedly kissing another adult inappropriately and alledgedly sexually preying on young teens as an adult.

Stay on target. This is a thread about Franken.

Sucks that they are getting their playbook thrown back in their faces.

And yet there has already been a call for his resignation from both posters on this board (myself included) and fellow Democratic senators.

So....

Well it didn't happen until Pelosi got scorched for defending him. Then they did the calculation and figured an appointee by the Democratic governor would have a better chance of getting reelected anyway.

I'm confused. This thread is about Franken. Not Conyers, whom I believe, is to have Welsh ancestry.

That's all it is. They will sacrifice Franken to appear morally superior then the governor will appoint a bigger idiot.

I suppose people are dumb enough to buy it.

Frankin allegedly grabbed tit's while sleeping... And there is photographic evidance of that... He also *FORCED* his tongue into her mouth.

I't amazing that when there is a (D) infront of someones name things you would normally call "assault" become merely inappropriate.

But year it's just "allegedly kissing another adult inappropriately"

That being the case, we know who he's related to... Some disclosure would have been nice.
