Something to keep in mind about Comedy

[MuseRider]

5. I respect his apology

he said it all and said it well.

I also agree with you about the situation and the environment. Being marginally in and around a much smaller group of music entertainment I have to say it is a problem even in that. It always has been. Arts and entertainment put you in the position of needing response and then thriving on the extreme limits if you make it to the big time. I am most interested to know if this was just during his entertainment phase (not an excuse for him) or if this continued as he entered politics.

Still, there is and never has been a good reason to play off women and their bodies. Never. It has always been so but there is no reason that it had to be done, it was just easy. Now it will not be.

I am feeling mixed about Senator Franken. I have been a fan from the early years. I find him funny, intelligent and charming and I HATE this. I do think he needs to be held accountable for it. The photo seems like a stupid clown thing but not a good thing certainly. The kiss, if true and I expect it is (even if she does come from the R wing), was assault even if it was "just a kiss". Assault.

My hope is that he is truly a supporter of women and we find that this was an early event that has not continued. If so I hope to be able to accept the apology. It is, after all, an apology to all of us.
