Except the part about him slipping her the tongue...
That's the "little lie" or exaggeration that makes all of this tick...
Without that - there would be nothing...
The tongue part was big part of selling this as "gross" or over the top.

(82,849 posts)While in college, I toured with a group of earnest young folks who sang at churches and promoted the college's brand. I also toured with a couple of theater shows. These were bright young Christian people who really took that "Jesus is watching you, don't do anything with your significant other that you wouldn't do in front of the whole church" line seriously. Even at that, on long van rides there was a lot of easy and comfortable positioning that might have looked suspect to a third party (women snuggling into a man's side, man half-reclining with his head in a woman's lap, that kind of thing). Of course, in a 15-passenger van, it's hard to hide any serious he-ing and she-ing, but there was quite a bit of physical horseplay that might have gotten a disapproving glare from some bluenose.
I'm sure that with people five to ten years older flying in and out of war zones, the physical familiarity was heightened, but I can't think of anyone over the age of 21 who would have taken any of the horseplay on a crowded transport plane seriously.

(8,694 posts)trying to figure out who would have accessed/saved/ or cropped that photo on the night Coleman conceded July 1, 2009. The EXIF data is undisputed. Who would have said this photo is a gold mine for oppo research? Havent found anything yet, but instead read so many stories about what Frankens USO tours meant for the troops. He was amazing. He said he was nervous visiting the wounded, he wanted to make them laugh, and what could he say to someone about to lose a leg? But he made them laugh and they adored him for it. I think I despise Tweeden the most for dishonoring and smearing the USO tours. I hope she never goes on a tour with them again.

She's full of shit. Believe NOTHING from that Trump shill.

(70,556 posts).... what she said was her flight back to the USA? Please look at the picture.
Her links to Fox News makes me wonder too.
To me at least this attack on Al Franken is a right wing hit job.

(70,556 posts)Besides how did Roger Stone know about Tweeden's "Franken-gate" story
24 hours before it happened?
This is a right wing hit job, no doubt.

**ouch!!**
i can't speak for others and of course i know there are people who force themselves on people, but the vast majority of people i think would at least be under the impression they had consent for that.
