American Thinker: Al Franken is getting a blast from the past, and may even be starting to feel sorry for himself, because the rules have not only changed, they are being applied ex post facto to behavior that once upon a time seemed to him not just normal, but worthy of performance onstage.
Happy Jack Feder, writing at the American Spectator, recalls a blatant case of sexual assault on a coed, done before an audience:
Front row, right side at Student Union Ballroom of Montana State University, Bozeman, Montana. Winter of 1979 or 1980. Actually, I witnessed both Al Franken and his then partner, Tom Davis, commit acts of unwanted sexual harassment. (snip)
Franken (or was it Davis?) announced it was time to take a break from the rollicking hilarity and laughter. It was time to dance!
They each stepped off the front of the stage and into the chairs and picked out two comely young college girls and brought them up to the stage. The lights dimmed. Soft, romantic music began to play. Franken and Davis wrapped their arms around their partners and pressed their bodies close. The girls complied.
They danced. They swayed.
And then Al’s hands slid down to his dancing partner’s ass. And I use the word ‘ass’ because in that context, that’s the word you’d use. Not buttocks or fanny or tail or bottom. Ass.
His hands began fondling her ass.
Same with Davis.
Ha ha ha. There was laughter from the assembled voyeurs, excuse me, spectators.
The girls both reached behind and moved the roving hands up.
After which the hands slid back down to cop another slow, sensuous feel. Over and over and over. (snip)
In my early twenties, I wasn’t prissy. Hardly. But I remember thinking this was a pretty weird skit. Or at least I scratched my head wondering what I was missing. I didn’t laugh. I kept waiting for a punchline, as though the ass grab was a setup. But it wasn’t a setup. Fondling the fanny was the whole point.
I wonder what AF’s wife and kids think about all this.
Think back to your fourth grade class. Remember the obnoxious jerk who got away with stuff by being the “class clown”? Yeah, I thought you did.
Al Franken is that guy.
Liberals aren’t bothered by this behavior
He is proving what a true egotistical are sole he really is.
Oh, are there people shocked that Franken is out of character?! Not on your life. This behavior is well established early on and he just happened to luck into a career where it was part of the landscape. Recidivism for sexual deviancy is almost guaranteed. I’d bet there are women in the Congress who have been abused.
I don’t have an offspring, including and especially my daughter, that couldn’t beat the fuck out of Albert Franken. But then again at least one of his victims was asleep. What a little coward.
I get the impression that Al Franken has rubbed more out than Michelle Obama has gobbled down Ding Dongs.
When Al gets rejected, he waits for you to sleep then takes revenge sexual assault photos.
Franken was never Normal and thet’s what made Al funny to laugh at, you were laughing at Him more so than any joke.
Franken is an Oddity at Best !!!

Oh, he was just a comedian bringing home the bacon so we could live a coushy life. What dad did was okay with us as long as we got what we wanted. “F” all of you for bringing any of this into question. We’re talking money here, family vacations, shopping, who cares who daddy fondled. Screw her for telling us this crap! And that’s how they think!

I was thinking rather that his wife and kids might be more hurt and embarrassed.
Senator Franken, RESIGN. Say hi to Bill Cosby on your way out.
He’s never been anything but an attention seeking cretinous little insect. A noisy little obnoxious and irritating buffoon.
