San Diego Mayor Bob Filner May Be Handsy, but He Won’t Resign
Daily Beast ^ | July 17, 2013 | Caitlin Dickson

Bob Filner is not a pervert, he just hugs a lot. Is that so wrong? The San Diego mayor doesn’t seem to think so, and despite calls for his resignation from former colleagues, political supporters, and even his ex-fiancée, Filner made clear Tuesday that he has no intention of giving up his post without a fight.

--snip--

For the past week, Filner has been weathering accusations of sexual harassment from former City Hall employees who, according to their lawyers, were not just hugged but repeatedly groped and even subjected to a few unwanted wet ones. Filner’s advances were allegedly so common that City Hall workers had become pros at what they dubbed “The Filner Dance,” the swerve used to avoid their boss’s grasp. They reportedly even had nicknames for the mayor’s moves, such as the “the Filner headlock,” which is pretty much exactly how it sounds.

I'm a Democrat. You can't touch me. But I sure can touch you.

Remember the NOW criteria from the era of the Bill Clinton Bimbo breakouts:

Democrat politicians get one free proposition, one free feel, one free tongue kiss, one free rub, one free flash, etc.

If he was a Republican, he'd be labeled a neanderthal predator, and he'd be heading for prison.

Since he's a Democrat, his actions are those of an eccentric individualist. A well-meaning but socially awkward sillypants.

Not only will he not resign, he’ll run for reelection and win.

Democrats don’t hold themselves to any moral standards, so it’s all good.

I knew this guy had to be a Dem when the story was the lead on several of the evening TV news shows. However, they never even ONCE mentioned his party affiliation.

If he touched my wife I wouldn’t take a chance on bleeding knuckles against his teeth; but he would require a set of Neuticles to feel normal afterward.
