It's a Florida number sure, but the Florida it covers is in the panhandle under...Alabama.

You guys don't have to be afraid to call. I'm sure they'll help you no matter what state you're calling from.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

Even if we stipulate that Tweeden had some political axe to grind, even after reading that I don't feel like I have enough of an explanation for all the other accusations that piled up after that. As I recall that time, it seemed like Franken had navigated the Tweeden accusation well until all the rest of that piled up.

I've followed Franken closely for years, and the story that came out was suspect for a number of reasons. I think like 98% of the men accused (celebrities or otherwise) are guilty of taking advantage of their station, but that just didn't jive with everything I knew about Franken, and the railroad approach felt really dangerous considering all the good he'd done in the Senate.
I offer no opinion on this thread, but it would go to explain the raw political calculus of the situation.

I don't know, and I'm sure there will be a lingering, unsatisfying lack of consensus on this.

I've been online way too long to give people crap for common typos. If I'm going to poke fun at them, it better be a good joke I'm making.

Honest Trailers guy's defense sounds pretty tight. Could be all bullshit, but we'll see. Hopefully he got some money out of the people who left him out to dry.
