OK, now I'm just mad as hell........an Army vet comes forward saying Al Franken cupped her breast.

140. Exactly! It's not in the picture!

The allegations involve something we can't see, yet there are pictures that show nothing. Makes me think of how magicians do magic - leading the audience, telling them what they see and what they should expect to see while they do a slight of hand and make things appear or disappear.

Is that what this is? "Here's a picture - see the abuse that is going on? Don't you see it? "

No, I don't see it. Just because you say its there doesn't mean I can see it. But for some people who aren't playing close attention, they go right along with the trick. "Oh! I see it! yes, that's abuse!" But did they really see it?

Ugh! the potential for gas lighting here is concerning.

This needs to be investigated in a systematic matter. Take the allegations seriously, but then interview the accusers and the witnesses. To be accused of something does not mean it actual happened. I know. I spent 2 years investigation child abuse.

I'm afraid he is being caught up in this tsunami of change in our society. This tsunami is a good thing - everyone is becoming so much more aware of sexual harassment. But a knee-jerk reaction to Franken worries me. The republicans play dirty - it's too easy to set up and attack Franken or any other democratic and then watch democrats eat their own.
