Some background for you young bloods, I keep forgetting how much context is lost to time. USO shows are these R-rated comedy skit shows that get put on for soldiers in war zones, I think they're a charity. Bob Hope was a goat at it back in the day. Basically, dirty jokes and shyt. They'd bring hotties up on stage; actresses, playboy bunnies, calendar girls, etc. and have them dikktease the soldiers. It's been a while since I saw it, but I think Al Franken's routine was to talk his dikk up and kiss one of the thots, she'd pretend he was trash at it, then she say something like she needed a REAL man, they bring up some random soldier from the crowd and he kisses the girl and everyone hollers like fools :mjlol: Her kissing him sets up the punch line.

Oh, and he groped her from 2 inches away through a kevlar vest huh? :sas2:
How do you know about this act, did you see it?

If that’s the case then video or similar accounts like yours will dead this early

Al saying “I don’t remember it like that :patrice: “ is much smarter than jumping out and giving this version

Don't know if I saw it or not, but I remember hearing an account of it around the time he was doing these shows. I've seen other USO acts too they're all the same deal. Not 100% sure there'd be video (slightly different era before people were whipping out cell phones at everything) and plus they probably didn't want people talking about all that thotting on stage.

But there should be 100s if not 1000s of people who saw the act.

In the tumultuous aftermath of Leeann Tweeden’s accusations against Al Franken during a 2006 USO trip to Kuwait, Iraq, and Afghanistan, new photos and videos have emerged that cast doubt on her account.

During the very same USO tour in question, Tweeden can be seen blatantly groping the backside of a male performer and kissing another.

While the details surrounding the rest of Tweeden’s interactions on this tour are still unclear, the images and videos of a woman who is not nearly as prim and puritanical as she has let on are striking, to say the least.

This USO tour is not the only time that Tweeden has put her sexually aggressive behavior on display. At one point, she even did so with the iconic, late Robin Williams.







It should also be noted that Tweeden just signed a book deal with Sinclair Broadcasting Group, which has also inked deals with prominent conservative voices, including Sebastian Gorka, Steve Bannon, and the Mercers.

As evidence has begun to spread that perhaps Tweeden had a political agenda behind her decision to name Franken, a growing movement of support has coalesced behind the Minnesota Senator.



If it is revealed that she perverted the important #MeToo campaign to launch a smear job on a Senator who has been a vital advocate for women, it would be a major blow to victims of sexual harassment and assault across the country.

i believe in the complete mental destruction of all birthers, regardless of gender.

and franken deserves this for getting real comfortable around racist birthers. that's that white privilege. a black democratic politician wouldn't allow himself to be doing skits with the enemy like this because his staff would have been like "she's a birther", but to a white man that's "meh, let's just do this."


fukk Tweeden, but it happened in 2006. The birther movement didn't even exist yet.

I really hope this plot twist blows up, but I doubt it will. Aside from the Terry Crews and Kevin Spacey incidents, I haven't heard jack shyt about sexual assault or harrassment committed on men, and even then the narrative is framed on how vile the man is, not that a man is also a victim of crime.

But if this shyt is gonna continue to be a national political and professional dialogue, bytches who commit sexual assault against men need to be called out just as harshly.

The nerve of this scum screaming how she felt violated about being groped and humiliated because their's a pic of it being circulated when she literally did the same thing to someone else, WITH A PICTURE.
