25. I know who Leeann Tweeden is and I have known who she is for years

Sat Nov 16, 2019, 04:57 AM

Nov 2019

She used to be a host on The Best Damn Sports Show with Tom Arnold (who vouches for her character). I didn't like her because she was pro Iraq war but she was just a model at the time. It is not hard for me to believe a male would sexually harass a model & not care what her politics are.

I was deployed in the Army so I know what USO tours are like. The only thing I can think of for the males was when the Buffalo Jills cheerleaders came to Camp Arif Jan.

The difference between Al Franken & the clips that people have dug up is one is probably wanted while the attention from Al Franken was probably unwanted.

There are 8 news stories that followed her claim but people choose to not believe any of it.

I met Kirsten Gillibrand today in a restaurant! [View all] Polybius Nov 2019 OP

I know she's persona non grata to many, but I like her. Glad you are known to good Dems. Hoyt Nov 2019 #1

You're not alone. I like her as well. Bleacher Creature Nov 2019 #11

I would ask her...how proud is she to have helped to derail Al Franken to resign? OAITW r.2.0 Nov 2019 #2

I love Al but he stepped on his own you know what redstateblues Nov 2019 #3

We disagree....we killed a great field general against the Opposition OAITW r.2.0 Nov 2019 #4

Anthony Weiner was also a great field general, until Blue_true Nov 2019 #12

We need people in office that have unassailable character. Blue_true Nov 2019 #5

I agree. And I agree Franken brought it on himself and was the one to walk away. Jewls2 Nov 2019 #8

Al brought nothing on himself. Republican sleazebags brought it on him and got lucky. DFW Nov 2019 #13

Awhat a crude untruthful thing to say about Senator Franken. trueblue2007 Nov 2019 #17

You're wrong about Franken, & you forgot the sarcasm thingy regarding Gillibrand's sole culpability Hekate Nov 2019 #21

I don't go for absolute purity. BTW, Al Franken is nothing like Anthony Weiner... Hekate Nov 2019 #20

Unwanted touching is not consensual JonLP24 Nov 2019 #22
