Why Didn't Her Husband Punch Him On The Nose, If It Happened?

Oh, for heavens sake, a woman who claims that as her husband was taking a picture of her with Al Franken at the Minnesota State Fair is claiming he inappropriately touched her derriere?   And her husband didn't notice at the time?  As he was recording it for posterity, in more than one sense, clearly.   Give me a break.  If that's the standard for a sex scandal, I'll bet most of the men in the Senate, the House and definitely the Trump white house had better be nervous over it.  

I wonder how many pictures people asked to take with him during the state fair that day?   Dozens?  Hundreds? Tens?  If people will insist on touching other people, these things will happen.   I'm definitely not the huggy, touchy, kissy type, Irish from New England, but I can imagine that a politician who lots of people want to have their pictures taken with want it up close and personal.  

I think what we have here is someone who wants to get on cabloid TV - if the right-wing talk show invites start rolling in and are taken, it's a lot more than that. 

If this is as much as they can dig up on Al Franken there must not be much to make hay out of.   This is beginning to feel like that infamous episode in shit level, cabloid leading, pack journalism, the pursuit of Richard Jewell.   Only, thanks to the idiocy of the Supreme Court, if it gets that out of hand Franken won't be able to sue.  Not even the right wing scum level media that is already whipping up lies around this.
