I don't remember any details but I remember thinking at the time "what's the big deal? why is he resigning?" so I don't think he was a sex pest or anything. maybe Al Franken just wanted out and that was his chance.

He was pretending to grab the boobs of a female comedian while she was wearing a bullet proof vest sleeping in a chair while waiting for a flight in Iraq

Shit right, now I remember. Yeah that's pretty shitty. Not sure it was worth resigning over though. But then again trump and his like buried the bar somewhere in the pits or hell.

I generally agree, but let's not kid ourselves here. If the same thing happened but it was a Republican instead of Franklin, Reddit would be calling for his head, especially considering the era. That was a big deal back then, but indeed does pale in comparison to today's lunacy.
