Good of CNN to try to rationalize and justify an alleged victim of sexual abuse.

Morality doesn't matter to CNN, unless one is a conservative, right?

Just a comedian, right Joy Behar?

From the 90s:
You can't attack President Bill Clinton -- he's the president for gosh sakes!

Today:
You can't attack Al Franken -- he was just a comedian for gosh sakes!

Weinstein and Spacey weren't members of Congress either.

Stupid, stupid liberals.

"...just a comedian..."


Excellent point, Fake News Network.
Everyone knows comedians are allowed to do ANYTHING because, it’s just a joke, right?

“Just a comedian.”

So I guess there are certain career paths men can take that permits them to assault women.

Comedians can’t. Presidents can.
Alabama attorneys can’t, even if only allegations. Massachusetts senators can, even with proof.

What about plumbers? Accountants? The ‘Rats need to publish a chart so that we know.

That was Kathy Griffins’ excuse too. There is nothing funny in what Franken did.

Aren’t comedians supposed to be funny? This guy is merely a LIB asshat masquerading as a comedian...and now masquerading as a senator. What an integrity-free loser.

Franken never was funny.

The woman in the picture allegedly has a husband. Why is Franken unharmed?

I’m wondering if Senator Franken will show up today wearing a neck brace in public. You only have to do it one day and the press will photo and take pity on you and ignore any past transgressions against women, even allowing them to drown when you run off to concoct your story for the press. It worked wonders for Senator Kennedy, got him the title of “Lion of the Senate”, a large monumental building named after him with taxpayer money, and earned him the everlasting respect of the ex-POW and respected aisle-crosser John McCain.

Now, Groucho Marx was a comedian. Bob Hope was a comedian.

Al Groppen, er, Franken, not so much. Lewd, crude and rude, he has not been too shrewd. Serious shall never be attached to his name.

Funny won’t be, either.

Maybe the raping Kennedy Klan can loan Franken, Teddy’s neck brace to get sympathy for their newest exposed pervert!

Roy Moore wasn’t a member of Congress at the time the misdeeds he is accused of, either.

“and A LOUSY ONE AT THAT.”

That’s the interesting point. I never saw anything he did that was even remotely funny. The man in a baby diaper routine was disgusting. The character Stuart was so bad I turned it off.

CNN: If you want reliable news reports, you are tuned to the wrong channel.

And so it begins again. Rats defending rats. Imagine that.

The “Clown Nose ON / Clown Nose OFF” maneuver. Jon Stewart wore that one out a decade ago already.
