    Geez, why not say there's no fat guy in a red suit who gives out gifts while you're at it?

    A. These letters from Al Franken's staffers and from the SNL writers reminds me of the kinds of letters Harvey Weinstein attempted to solicit in the days after the Times published its story on him.

    B. These letters are worthless. Of course he didn't sexually harass every woman. The fact that he acted professionally with his own staff, and with colleagues at SNL means nothing, and it's a joke that the media has brought any attention to these letters.

    C. Would the media cover a letter from female employees of Roy Moore, if it made a similar point?

    C. No. He's not on our side, and the media sit around in budget meetings and try to figure out to screw him.

    A: Where's the evidence Franken solicited this?
    B: Might mean something to the women who worked with Charlie Rose.
    C: The media has covered plenty of testimonials from evangelicals who've worked with or for him.

    Media has failed to cover that Roy Moore runs a free summer camp for girls about to be molested

    I'm humiliated, and denounce myself.

    I was trying to multitask. I need to take my SJ.com posting more seriously, and pledge to do in the future.

    Ah, but that high moral ground was nice while it lasted.

    Hypocrisy is a blind spot of modern American liberalism.
