The guy provides a "quote" from an anonymous photographer without source.

When asked to provide the source, he cites Franken's apology to show that the photo was staged because it was part of a skit.

Except the kiss in the skit and the "air groping" on the plane are two widely separated events, which anyone who had actually read the accuser's story would understand.

This guy did Franken no favors.
