I graduated summa cum laude from law school. Not only am I in fact very intelligent, I am DEFINITELY more intelligent than you.

I know you think you’re making an amazing point here, but the fact that actresses agreed to perform in material provided to them doesn’t make the material itself less problematic or exculpate its author. The casting couch is awful, jokes about the casting couch are awful, people who make jokes about the casting couch…

maybe it’s all those kale smoothies that are making you so bitter, bitch

So what you’re saying is that they hadn’t voted to expel him (which requires a 2/3 vote of all House members, which seems (1) unlikely and (2) like a pretty fair amount of process), and he resigned voluntarily rather than being forced out????

Go, and I mean this in all seriousness, fuck yourself.

wow so it’s part of a larger culture that doesn’t value consent and thinks of women as objects? why, that totally exonerates him!!!

sorry about the fact that Lizzo is popular despite you not personally liking her, sux 2 b u

I love how Mayer’s article, and others, point out that Franken wrote and performed a sketch in which his character nonconsensually kisses the female character, and performed it for years before performing it with Tweeden, and this is somehow *not* proof that he’s a creep that likes to touch women without their…

sorry, how was Chuck Schumer going to enforce that deadline? Arrest? Or extrajudicial killing? Or was the threat that they would ACTUALLY DO THE ETHICS INVESTIGATION (you know, the due process that he supposedly wanted) if he didn’t resign?

maybe, though, the default should be for people to not touch other people without their consent? Just a thought, Frank.

SURELY NO ONE CAN DOUBT MY VIRILITY NOW!!

YESSS DEFACE THAT FUCKER

how have I not read this story, I must find it immediately!

I feel like this should be more obvious to people. Nobody *wants* to find out their male colleagues are the inevitable disappointments you hoped they weren’t. Al Franken is an embarrassment to progressives, and it absolutely would have been better for all concerned if he hadn’t been.

Fffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucccckkkkkkkk!!! 

looking forward to Henry Cavill grimacing through an entire television series to conclusively disprove all this “peak TV” nonsense

saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame, you are unique in no respect whatsoever

I couldn’t tell if he was just doing something goofy with it or if he made someone photoshop him a neck. Maybe he’s in the middle of a neck roll?

He’s a true hero of the people.
