It certainly is refreshing to see a beltway insider stand up and take responsibility for his actions, as opposed to Donald J. Trump and Roy Moore, who seem to be caught up in a whirlpool in the middle of that famous Egyptian river, Denial.
Now and then even a BLIND squirrel can find an acorn

this from a poster whose state voted for a fake war hero and Jeff Flake 2 Democrat senators....Thanks a million. Arizona....California with cactuses
Every time you post something I remember what my father taught me 60 years ago. It is unfair to engage in a battle of wits when the other guy is only half armed.

While you can argue that he did a better job of Moore and trump, disagree that he has accepted responsibility. Basically, he is playing the Clinton game (I smoked marijuana but didn't inhale) of playing both sides where he wants credit for accepting responsibility for actions while at the same time not admitting to them. To the allegations of whether she grabbed their buttocks he responded that he doesn't remember and noted that he takes a lot of pictures. This hardly seems like some1 accepting responsibility and it is not credible that he doesn't recall.

Franken deserves praise for willingness to apologize and accept responsibility. His job is probably safe. Groping former playmate isn't as serious as raping underage teenagers as alleged against Moore. In contrast, Moore denies responsibility while running in senate election. Since he has more to gain or lose, there is more incentive to be dishonest.

Let's be honest and not partisan. He has only admitted to the one where they had a photo of him groping the victim. Kinda hard to deny that one.
The others............ "I don't recall but if I did I am sorry". Not really a "full-throated apology. Kinda like "I smoked pot but didn't inhale".

Breaking news, Four female Dem senators have called for Al Franken to resign. Franken is facing tremendous pressure from his own party colleagues, i think he has to go.

There is another worthy point, although slightly off topic, and certainly not pardonable. Some women get the limelight, attention, and money by literally selling sexuality, a Playboy Playmate being one of the most obvious. Groping a woman that is already selling her sexuality is far less offensive than the statutory rape of a 14 year old.
BTW, trumper and moore fans, I did not make a hero of Franken, I just said it was refreshing to see ANY ONE of these jokers take any responsibility. Franken's future is severely damaged, Conyers is out (YIPPEE) and others are on the ropes, but only one Republican, Joe Barton, has actually admitted his transgressions and accepted the penalty. Easy in his case since he is an old man close to retirement anyway. The town is a swamp, but instead of draining it Trump has only added toxicity by backing guys like himself and Moore and denying Mike Flynn was way out of bounds with his wheeling and dealing. More heads will roll, more resignations to follow (both sides of the aisle), and the 2018 mid-terms are looking interesting. Currently we do not have even national leadership, much less global, like someone asserted in another thread. SHEESH!

Franken has been accused by multiple women for his sexcapades and only admitted to the one where he was smiling for the picture. Said he doesn't remember anything else, so he gave a "blanket" apology. Nothing at all refreshing with the sad way he has handled this like the rest of the gropers. Has he publicly apologized to these women individually? No. Will he? No. Leaves himself wide open to litigation. He's a coward like the rest.
No, not as sick as Moore is with underage girls. Both are illegal and considered rape. When you physically force yourself on a women that would be classified as rape. Both men qualify for charges according to the women accusing them. Sounds like lots of men would qualify to have charges pressed against them.
"His job is probably safe"
Wrong again. He is in biiiiiiiig trouble. Most of the women in the Senate want him to leave. About the only female senator that hasn't called for him to step down is from his own state. Gee, I wonder why that is? Can anyone say partisan politics? How embarrassing she can't stand up to protect women.
The left has always claimed they cared about women. What a great opportunity to step up and show it. Let the right sink with a loser like Moore.

To think it was only oct 2016 when bills victims were called tramps on the view. The comment by resident "gasbag" joy behar was met with wild applause from the assembled pinheads.
