A 1995 New York magazine profile of Saturday Night Live described how Franken was “among a group of show writers sounding out a possible parody of Andy Rooney centered on a sedative pill bottle found in the “60 Minutes” essayist’s desk. Franken and fellow writers Norm MacDonald and Jim Downey kick around fictional Rooney responses to the discovery of the bottle.”

Franken allegedly put an edgier twist on the conversation, saying in an Andy Rooney voice, “And ‘I give the pills to Lesley Stahl. Then when Lesley’s passed out, I take her to the closet and rape her.’ Or ‘That’s why you never see Lesley until February.’ Or, ‘When she passes out I put her in various positions and take pictures of her.”

At the time, Minnesota state Rep. Laura Brod said that the SNL quotes, combined with Franken’s Playboy column, reveals “a pattern of behavior which is not suitable for a U.S. senator.”
