Digby notes:
If the Daily Mail's crummy video doesn't embed, click the link in the quote above; or stick around & wallow in the nostalgia of this example of a U.S.O. show. Seems wholesome.Timing can be a mystery, can't it? If only Ms. Tweeden had told the good people of the Great State of Minnesota what a pervert Al Franken is when he first ran for the Senate in 2008, only two yrs. after his assault against her. Or maybe before his reëlection in 2014. (Better late than never ...)By the way, his behavior in this incident took place on a USO tour which have always been exploitative sex shows. (Here's a video of the one with Franken and Tweeden.) It's long past time to retire that particular format too.
What a mess.
Did she fear that candidate & then Senator Franken, w/ his vast influence over show biz (Two words: Air America.) would ruin her career if she came forward? Maybe she forgot the whole thing & was only reminded of it last yr., when we first heard the recording of Trump pronouncing himself a grabby sort of person. No, not then either.
A mystery indeed, but let's move along; no need to be cynical here.

Oh, give me a break. Franken was not trying to have sex with her. He was mugging for the camera.
