So we are to believe Al Franken is a serial groper who likes to grope while being photographed [View all]

In public. In full view. In front of spouses.

The first two accusations don't even pass the basic smell test. And the second two accusations, well, we can't even give them a smell test.

Not to mention that ridiculous Huffington attempt - debunked by the alleged victim. Someone is trying way too hard.

His time in the barrel indeed.
