Al Franken still hasn't denied grabbing women

I was out for blood on this Franken issue following his weak/vague acknowledgement that he made women feel disrespected and crossed a line.

I have pulled back a little due to nuanced interpretations his statements that may have some merit. An ethics investigation, which Franken called for himself, is definitely in order.

But let me say this, if he indeed did grab some women's asses, there is no way in hell we should give him a pass just because he's a Democrat and just because there are Republicans who have done far worse. That is not the way any self-respecting individual should respond to such behavior.

Simple test for those trying to minimize what Franken may have done:

Your son Johnny comes home from high school and says Billy grabs girls inappropriately and everyone knows it. Yet Billy was made captain of the football team. Your response would be what? "Yeah, groping girls really isn't a big deal. You can do such things and still ascend to great heights with no fear of significant repercussions."

Really?
