Situation. we have to be very careful in looking here. it is clear, it seems, that this was a two-week situation which he was on this uso tour with this woman and was really sort of sexually harassing her during the whole tour. that s a pretty significant problem. it s interesting that senator gillibrand. what will she say about senator franken? clearly the investigation that some have called for has to go forward and we have to look at this situation with his conduct during this uso tour and whether there is anything else there. sandra: clearly mary anne, this is the conversation getting all the headlines on capitol hill right now. i don t think it s tend of it, either. this could be the tip of the iceberg. to answer the question, senator gillibrand and all the other democrats have condemned al ....
