I have no idea if Franken harassed anyone, and neither do you. When numerous women step forward, I tend to believe the alleged perpetrator did something bad to them. But in a time when 30 percent of the population bought into a contrived story that Hillary Clinton ran a sex slave business out of a pizza place, the notion of conspiracy cannot be completely dismissed.

And

Franken’s ability to tap his adolescent self for humor made him famous, but it didn’t play so well in the grown-up world.

So Franken, a keen intellect and rigorous questioner of unqualified Trump appointees is gone, and next week I’m betting that the good folk of Alabama will elect some goober who was widely known to chase teenagers around the mall and quite possibly molested at least one of them.

The body politic shrugs.

These incidents are not even close along the creepy guy scale of transgressions. We have commingled all the stories so that whether you fondle a 14-year-old in her underwear or let your hand drop to someone’s butt while surrounded by opposition researchers with cameras who just happen to miss the moment, you land on the same list.
