4. Same guy that claimed he had some real dirt on Trump

Tom Arnold claims he has footage of Donald Trump saying 'every dirty, every offensive, racist thing ever'
Actor Tom Arnold is making waves with recent claims that he has outtakes from "The Apprentice" that feature President-elect Donald Trump using inflammatory language.

Arnold, who rose to prominence in the 1990s after his highly publicized marriage to Roseanne Barr and a breakthrough role in "True Lies," appeared on Seattle radio program "The Dori Monson Show" on Friday and said he had footage of Trump "saying every dirty, every offensive, racist thing ever."

Monson inquired why he hadn't leaked the tape, given the response to the Access Hollywood footage that resulted in the firing of Billy Bush.

"When the people sent it to me, it was funny," Arnold said, explaining that hundreds of people have seen the footage that was sent around years ago as a Christmas video.

"He wasn't going to be president of the United States. It was him sitting in that chair using the N-word, using the C-word, calling his son [intellectually disabled]," Arnold said.

3. Also timed for her book release?

She was on the USO tour solely because her photos in Playboy evoked lust so the photo of Franken treating her in a sexual way probably did not offend her.

But she was not alone. Franken’s transgressions are mild, not involving women he could harm because of his power to hinder their jobs or their need to be near him, but he gets in the way of Democrats protecting oppressed women. He undercuts the message that Democrats protect women while Republicans harm them. It’s not hard to see that the problems of one little person named Al don’t amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world. We want Al to stay, Ilsa wanted to be with Rick, but they need to get on that plane flying out of Casablanca for the greater good. Someday you will understand that.

7. Tom Arnold has no credibility, but I've been thinking this, too. It's a Roger Stone specialty.

I've also noted the timing of the periodic allegations coming out. It's seemed orchestrated.
