I notice there is not a floodgate opening with new Franken accusers

so far anyways. With all the others, once one accuser came forward, pretty soon, there were many others. Maybe there will be more with Franken but I find it interesting that so far, that has not happened.

Not that I am defending him, by the way. But there are degrees of how awful the offenses are as well as the frequency of the pattern.

Even people who don't really like him, such as Randi Rhodes, who worked with him at Air America Radio, are coming out and saying they never even saw or experienced anything even close to that. Randi pointed out that he's a "lip kisser." However, she said that it's not a sexual thing. It's more like that aunt you have that will kiss you on the lips every time she sees you. That's just how some people are. Some families, and some cultures are like that.

they'll be asked to testify at his ethics hearing. What do you bet tweeden will say "oh....i can't even remember who i told, i just know i told a few people". Don't forget that she claimed that another woman had left a message on her phone but she hadn't called her back.
