The canned phrases.
All of out here in TV Land are dumbfounded by what we know and what happened to Franken. C'mon! Playing kissy-face and squeezing somebody's waist is now grounds for dismissal? Hell, my mother-in-law has done that to me and we are still on good terms.
All they do is utter platitudes about how we must respect women and believe them when they tell of wrongdoing (thanks, Sherlock - we never would have figured it out ourselves). Well, I have no disagreement with that.
But the facts that the general public know about are accusations from (1) a woman who is on video goosing a guitar player and playing kissy-face and hump-da-leg with a random audience member; (2) a few more women who said that he groped them while getting a picture taken, with none of that or even any type of reaction appearing in the picture; (3) aforementioned kissy-face game.
Meanwhile, there is an adulterer, pussy grabber, kissy-face champion, groper extraordinaire all wrapped up in one lumpy orange package occupying the White House - and what are the Democrats saying about it? Not a hell of a lot.
I want better than that.
