Perhaps...... but when the president is an admitted sexual predator, the bar is set very low. So, maybe the president ought to be the first to resign and set the example.

No, he has apologised. Has the pussy grabber apologised, no.

Leave it to Whell to start the hate. Yes, he should resign right after your Dear Leader does.

Here’s how a decent person like Franken responds. Compare this to the constant denials from whell’s disgusting heroes.

Franken's press office later responded: “I certainly don’t remember the rehearsal for the skit in the same way, but I send my sincerest apologies to Leeann. As to the photo, it was clearly intended to be funny but wasn't. I shouldn't have done it.” The senator later said in a statement that he is “asking that an ethics investigation be undertaken, and I will gladly cooperate.”

I wiki'd her earlier, she also Fox panelist and a Playmate and various shoots.
Looks like she could use a career boost and a couple bucks as well.

In 1992, while working as a hostess at a Hooters restaurant (she was in their 1994 calendar) in Colorado Springs, Colorado, she won first place in the Venus International Model Search. This break led to national exposure, including a regular role as a fitness model on the TV show Fitness Beach. Tweeden modeled for promotional work for Hooters, Venus International, Frederick's of Hollywood.[2]

Tweeden was a correspondent for Fox Sports Networks' The Best Damn Sports Show Period from 2001 to 2007. In 2008, Tweeden became the third hostess of the NBC late night television series Poker After Dark.[3] She has also appeared on the political discussion series Hannity, as a member of the "Great American Panel" and occasionally appeared on the panel of Red Eye w/ Greg Gutfeld.[4]

Tweeden was seen in pre- and post-game coverage of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim on Fox Sports West and is currently working on Fox Sports 1's UFC Tonight, with Kenny Florian and Ariel Helwani.[4]

She has made appearances as a commentator on such Fox News shows as Hannity and Red Eye. [5][6]

Tweeden is currently on the Los Angeles morning radio show McIntyre in the Morning on KABC / 790 AM from 5 - 10AM as the news anchor. She joined the show on February 7, 2017.
Appearances

In 1996, Tweeden appeared non-nude in a fitness model pictorial for Playboy magazine. Fifteen years later, at 38 years old, she appeared again in the December, 2011 issue of Playboy, this time posing in a nude pictorial. In 2002, she was a guest character in the motocross video game Freekstyle as a motocross rider. The March 2007 Issue of FHM (which was the final printed US issue) featured Tweeden as the cover girl.[7] As part of Hooters' 25th anniversary in 2008, she was named among "The Top Hooters Girls of all time".[8]

Tweeden has gone on sixteen tours with the USO including trips to the Balkans, Afghanistan, and Iraq.[9]

Fixed News is appropriate here. :rolleyes:

Now that I think about it maybe is why Franken called for an investigation of himself.

"I understand why we need to listen to and believe women's experiences," Franken said. "I am asking that an ethics investigation be undertaken, and I will gladly cooperate."

Let's see.....
One apologizes right away accepts responsibility asks for forgiveness and a investigation.
Other's accused not so much!

Reprehensible behavior no way to defend. But the one who was effected I believe accepted his apology today.

Barney

We also have underage girls in high school vs Ms. Tart.

Sure, as long as Trump resigns.

Al Franken was not a Senator then but was an entertainer.
Question I have is why didn't this woman make a stink after seeing the picture.
My gut feel says "but I want to get into show bidness" and this is great publicity, being pretend groped by Al Franken.

But please let's have a Senate investigation now.
While the investigation is going on every GOP politician will be on notice and they better be clean or come clean and resign. ;)
