Franken musings

2021-01-26 17:33:01.015686+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

So yesterday for various reasons, people slid into my Twitter mentions defending Al Franken. And if I wasn't convinced his actions were kinda skeezy before-hand, their arguments allegedly supporting him pushed me towards the "eeeew" side of things.

Anyway, I figured I'd put a few links up here from that:

Video of the Franken/Tweeden skit (which reads to me as a lot of build-up for a rape joke), a racy Robin Williams USO routine which was used to slut shame Tweeden, and New Yorker: The Case of Al Franken.
