The picture is sad.
Imagine you are the woman in the flack jacket, in a serious job, with real consequences, putting your life on the line, right alongside the men in the picture.
And some punk-a$$ comedian thinks it is funny...
I'm sure Al Franken didn't understand how personally offensive that joke was at the time (most men didn't) but I bet he understands it now...
Do you think Roy Moore, Harvey Weinstein, Donald Trump will ever get it?

Or worse yet..what if that was your grandma in the flak jacket...I guess there's many different scenario what if's waiting in the band wagon...It looks like it was a joke with a bad punchline which sometimes happens when a comdian is performing...It's unfortuneate for Franken cause now the john bircher prudes want to castrate the guy...Al should have grabbed her crotch...

Franken's behavior is outrageous. He deserves all the fire he's taking. Why not the same for Trump and Moore?

What Franken did was stupid. Doesn't mean he needs to resign his office, as long as there's nothing else out there.
I'd say it's beyond simply stupid, but I'll admit to agreeing with you in principle :-)
Question, would you have done the same thing given the opportunity?
I didn't think so.

Wrong, I said nothing about her deserving to be assaulted. The photo may be poor lewd humor, but does not qualify as assault. "OK" means consent. But it's now blown far out of proportion compared to much more serious acts by Weinstein, Moore, Trump, Cosby, et al.
"He repeated that actors really need to rehearse everything and that we must practice the kiss. I said ‘OK’ so he would stop badgering me. We did the line leading up to the kiss and then he came at me, put his hand on the back of my head, mashed his lips against mine and aggressively stuck his tongue in my mouth. I immediately pushed him away with both of my hands against his chest and told him if he ever did that to me again I wouldn’t be so nice about it the next time."
It doesn't sound like she was in fear of losing her job.
I am saying she was used to people seeing her as a sex object since that was her goal for 20 years of her life.

it was a
MAKE THE TROOPS SMILE TOUR<
SHE WAS NOT A VICTIM,of more than a member of the cast brought along as...
She was a willing "HOT NUMBER" and paid to be EYE CANDY
HEAR SHE IS A REPULSIVCAN SHILL<
THAT HAS JUST PUSHED THE OF REVISIONIST HISTORY
I am saying she was used to people seeing her (and getting paid for it too{ to be clear- well paid}) as a sex object since that was her goal for 20 years of her life.

How do you think she feels about having her picture in that position all over the web for millions to see and chuckle at?
She was the one who released the photo. I am not defending Al Franken, but the photo was private until she released it.
And now the photographer who was the tour photographer at the time, who took the picture, said she was faking it. She was not asleep and was in on the joke.
what is true?

Don't resign, Al. We need your strong progressive voice in the Senate.
Crankl00n has responded to this thread several times. Firmly defending Al Frankenl00n's durty hands and mind. He seems to be the only one defending this behavior.
Maybe this is how Tahoe trustfunder a-holes think?
This is the essence of the Crankl00n mentality. Total d#@&%ebaggery at the highest level

Still not banned?
Of course not. Exposing azzholes is not a reason to be banned
You condone sexual assault on your terms. You f-ing CREEP!!
I have two life-long friends on patrol at Squaw who knows who the Crankl00n is. Pretty comical descriptions of the l00n.
Silver spoon permanently fixed into 'it's' backside begins the description.

Sure i'd be happy to . . . Tell me again what you know of me? I'm sitting very pretty, and stand to do just fine as I am a Corporation
Not to the rescue, just wondering what sort of cheeswhiz goes where you do.
I;m not forgiving bad behavior, but the women doth protest to much given all the facts available.

the real story:
Girl graduates high school.
Moves to Hollywood and becomes top Hooter tease girl of all time.
Poses for numerous girly magazines.
Works as eye candy on Faux News.
We all know how sexist that place is. Yet she loved it there.
And where is all her dirt on the players at Faux News? strangely missing.
The only logical explanation for this fake victim is that Faux News is now paying her to distract attention from ROY MOORE and trumpitter.

Franken should have not strayed from acceptable behavior at the time that photograph was taken. There are certain things you can do when people are asleep, and certain things that you can not do.
He should have simply used a SHARPIE to draw eyeballs on her eyelids, like a normal person would have.
But, seriously, WTF was he thinking? The internet was over 20 years old in 2006, and permanently archiving anything and everything. As a senator, he is a moving target at all times.
The only saving grace in this situation is the realization that for every Al Franken sexcapade, there have been dozens committed by right-wing, holier-than-thou idiots like Ailes, O'Reilly, Hastert, Moore, and Trump.
