Three Dozen Female Colleagues from SNL Defend Franken

[jillian]

Three dozen women who worked with Sen. Al Franken on the set of "Saturday Night Live" signed a statement pledging their support for the comedian-turned-politician, who was accused last week of sexual harassment.

The letter was signed by 36 women who worked on the show in some capacity during Franken's two tenures, from 1977-1980 and 1988-1995. Most were production and crew members, save for cast members Jane Curtin and Laraine Newman.

We feel compelled to stand up for Al Franken, whom we have all had the pleasure of working with over the years on 'Saturday Night Live,'" the statement read.


"What Al did was stupid and foolish, and we think it was appropriate for him to apologize to Ms. Tweeden, and to the public. In our experience, we know Al as a devoted and dedicated family man, a wonderful comedic performer, and an honorable public servant. That is why we are moved to quickly and directly affirm that after years of working with him, we would like to acknowledge that not one of us ever experienced any inappropriate behavior; and mention our sincere appreciation that he treated each of us with the utmost respect and regard."

What he did was disrespectful, but it is getting blown out of proportion.
Republicans want him to step down, but wants a pervert that preys on teens to step up. Blows my mind!

Of course. They were all crack-smokin' bimbos & hoes like the rest of the cast and crew.

I watched only occasionally after 1979. Once they lost the original cast, it sucked.

and every one of them smarter and more decent than you.

now, your trolling aside, this doesn't seem to be as huge a deal as you loons want it to be so you can justify supporting a creep who liked little girls.

I thought it was funny a "new accuser" came out the other day. The next day she was like "you guys are full of shit" LOL
This is typical regressive behavior. Projecting your own feels on someone else..

The perv admitted he was a creep, but that shouldn't absolve the consequences of his sick behavior.

Can you imagine these same women sticking up for republican in the same situation?

It would never happen. .....
