In reply to the discussion: I will NOT suffer the Al Frankening of Joe Biden...a rant *UPDATED* [View all]luvtheGWN
(1,336 posts)a picture can also tell a lie. The photo with Franken that you refer to was staged for the camera -- it wasn't for real. And how convenient that it was pulled out and put into circulation just after the Senator had torn a strip off Sessions......
Gillibrand and her fellow Senators and Reps should hang their heads in shame for the treatment they gave Franken. Perhaps they were simply jealous of him, since he proved himself way smarter than they have ever been.
As for Biden, give the guy a break. Having lost his wife and children at a very early age, he knows how important it is to cherish those who are alive. His showering of affectionate (non-sexual, non-violent) gestures to BOTH women and men proves it.
And BTW, I spoke at a fundraising event a few months ago. I was hugged by two people on the Foundation Board afterwards -- one was a woman I knew fairly well, and the other was a man whom I didn't especially know (or admire). They hugged me to say Thank you for my remarks. Was I offended? Of course not.
For pete's sake, women, grow the hell up!
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
