Bill Maher mocks Al Franken in Facebook photo with Bob Saget
By Jeremy Dick
Real Time’s Bill Maher had a little fun on a recent flight, as shown in a photo posted online of Maher recreating Al Franken’s controversial groping photo.
Something tells me this ought to be slightly controversial…
If your memory needs refreshed, Senator Al Franken wound up resigning recently due to sexual harassment allegations. A photograph had surfaced of Franken seemingly groping a sleeping woman, while looking at the camera and smiling. Apparently, the woman in the photo didn’t consent, and it’s resulted in Franken’s political career coming to an end.
While this situation has been awful for Franken, certain comedians are having some fun with it. No less than Bill Maher turned it up a notch by actually recreating the Franken photo in an image posted on Facebook. While groping someone’s chest, Maher is facing the camera with a goofy smile, the same way Franken had. But the person Maher is groping is fellow comedian and Full House star, Bob Saget!
You can take a look at the mocking photo below.
Recently, Saget and Maher had been booked for a New Year’s Eve show in Hawaii with Barack Obama impersonator Reggie Brown. This photograph seems to have been taken on the flight back to the mainland. Though the image can be seen as tasteless, it’s doubtful to hurt Maher’s career at all, as controversy is what he’s known for.
