Misbehaving Senators And Other Stories

Today's first story is about a comedian who became a Senator, and was written by a victim of his misbehavior.  If anyone is wondering why I don't use the word "alleged" in that first sentence, it's because she has photographic evidence.  Back in 2006, two years before Al Franken (D-MN) ran for Senator, he was on a USO tour with several other entertainers, including Leeann Tweeden, who has been a model and a TV host.  To learn what he did to her, read her full story at KABC, and be sure to look at the incriminating picture.

From Fox News, Franken once considered writing a skit about raping another TV personality.

From Townhall, Senator Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has asked for an ethics investigation, and has gotten the agreement of both Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN).

From The American Conservative, "Al Franken and Uncle Roy".  ("Uncle Roy" does not refer to Roy Moore, but to a series of Saturday Night Live skits.)

From ABC News, who is Leeann Tweeden?

And from Slate, Franken "should resign immediately".

UPDATE:  Here's a new story.  From Breitbart's Big Hollywood, it looks like Tweeden isn't the only woman subjected to Franken's inappropriate behavior.  (This story, too, has photographic evidence.)

In a story involving a different Senator, reported by the New York Post, the case against Bob Menendez (D-NJ) has ended in a mistrial.
