difference here is there is photo's of him groping her while she was sleeping. lets see the demoturds try and make this go away! -
Looks like he was fake groping her, mugging for the camera. But frigging stupid, if you ask me. What is it with some of these guys? And if it makes you feel any better, the uberliberals are apparently having a total freakout over this one too. The longer this goes on, the stiffer the blowback could be.

Groping is groping, he slipped her his tongue and he admits to part of his behavior. Never like him. Don't excuse his behavior unless yours is worst.To Error Is Human To Forgive Is Not SAC PolicyComment

Gotta say though, Frankenstein better than some of the others at the apology business:
Believable? Depends on who you ask! Franken more likely to be seen as sympathetic voice in the Senate than Moore on women's issues.The first thing I want to do is apologize: to Leeann, to everyone else who was part of that tour, to everyone who has worked for me, to everyone I represent, and to everyone who counts on me to be an ally and supporter and champion of women. There's more I want to say, but the first and most important thing—and if it's the only thing you care to hear, that's fine—is: I'm sorry.
I respect women. I don't respect men who don't. And the fact that my own actions have given people a good reason to doubt that makes me feel ashamed.
But I want to say something else, too. Over the last few months, all of us—including and especially men who respect women—have been forced to take a good, hard look at our own actions and think (perhaps, shamefully, for the first time) about how those actions have affected women.
For instance, that picture. I don't know what was in my head when I took that picture, and it doesn't matter. There's no excuse. I look at it now and I feel disgusted with myself. It isn't funny. It's completely inappropriate. It's obvious how Leeann would feel violated by that picture. And, what's more, I can see how millions of other women would feel violated by it—women who have had similar experiences in their own lives, women who fear having those experiences, women who look up to me, women who have counted on me.
Coming from the world of comedy, I've told and written a lot of jokes that I once thought were funny but later came to realize were just plain offensive. But the intentions behind my actions aren't the point at all. It's the impact these jokes had on others that matters. And I'm sorry it's taken me so long to come to terms with that.
While I don't remember the rehearsal for the skit as Leeann does, I understand why we need to listen to and believe women’s experiences.
I am asking that an ethics investigation be undertaken, and I will gladly cooperate.
And the truth is, what people think of me in light of this is far less important than what people think of women who continue to come forward to tell their stories. They deserve to be heard, and believed. And they deserve to know that I am their ally and supporter. I have let them down and am committed to making it up to them.Comment

an apology for being a creep that long after is just about trying to cover his A. if he had any remorse for being a disgusting pig he would have done something long before.Comment
