110. Oh so you mean this WAS a right-wing publicity stunt to take down Al Franken.

This story was pushed so hard the first day it "broke" with the Party of Traitors trying to link Franken and Moore.

Moreover, we know they are trying to buy their Crooked Elfin Attorney General some breathing space because Franken was going after him and his perjury.

As a woman, I take sexual harassment and assault very seriously. I have experienced it. And unless there is more to this story, it's just an effective smear campaign against a decent United States Senator who has always supported the rights of women.

He made a joke in very poor taste and apologized. Shame on anyone who called for him to resign and shame on those who had knee-jerk reactions to call for Senator Franken's resignation.

This woman is clearly an opportunist and, as my abuelita would say, a cualquiera.
