George H.W. Bush Apologizes to Actress After She Claims He Sexually Assaulted Her in 2014

IronJack was referring to President George H.W. Bush as a douchebag...NOT you.
You then responded by insulting him/her directly. Totally uncool.

Enable him? President Bush #41 will likely be deceased inside of two years.
This actress is almost assuredly laughing about this right now. She needed a bit of media attention / magazine ink and found a way to do it.

I don’t read it that way. Maybe you do, but I don’t.

He just forgot his comma, and “the” is a misplaced word.. He has no reason to call Bush a douchebag, he’s defending him while arguing with me, and losing.

And I don’t care if he’s going to be deceased in the next 5 minutes. That isn’t relevant to his admitted commission of this crime.

Go ahead and read the article.

He did it. He’s a perv.

I do not like ANY of the members of the Bush family. Both of the Georges were unremarkable commanders in chief.
Jeb! would have been a complete disaster as POTUS as well.
At the same time, GHWB is a fossil that drools into his oatmeal.
There are times when police do not need to be summoned into EVERY “touchy” situation.

[dennisw]

lol....You are going to equate getting goosed by George Bush with what Clintoon and Weinstein have done for years?

[chris37]

I will readily admit that I do not like any of them either. No like, no respect.

However, in this matter, that is not my angle.

I’m just looking at what she said, and weighing in my mind is he the type of guy that might do this sort of think as a matter of course believing that he will get away with it because of who he is.

And my gut instinct tells me that he is.

I don’t know who she is, never heard of her before, but I see no reason that she should accept this behavior because is gonna be dead soon.

He wronged her, he did it on purpose, he should be held to account.

I’m sick and goddamned tired of these elitists getting a damn pass.

I’M SICK OF IT!

[Guenevere]

You are calling me a leftist?!

Whoever you are you need to experience the world more and see what a real leftist looks like.....

Good mercy

You wrote : "Retard “actress” should have kept her mouth shut. Many times in life it is better to say nothing. And the Bush family should have said nothing, not acknowledged this publicity hound."

Any unwanted sexual touching or harassment is wrong. It is equally wrong whether done by Bush, Clinton, or Weinstein.

[af_vet_1981]

Well, well, well,

what do we have here ?

Bush apologized through a spokesman in a statement earlier Wednesday. The statement said that “on occasion, he has patted women’s rears in what he intended to be a good-natured manner” and routinely tells a joke.

Deadspin reported that a source said the “joke” the statement refers to was Bush saying that his favorite magician was “David-Cop-A-Feel.”

Also,

Five women accuse journalist Mark Halperin of sexual harassment...

MSNBC Suspends...

[Hulka]

never called you one.

“Only a leftist would feel an actor on screen, playing a role in some movie/TV show you like, is the same person off-screen, and who decides to give credibility to someone just because they act?”

Unless you are supporting her because you like her acting and feel she is the same person off-screen that she acts on-screen, that would be a leftist approach.

You are not supporting her because she is an actor, right?

It would appear that every nobody in sight is claiming harassment to claim at least five minutes of fame.

First it was being assaulted at a young age to today’s harassment charges. Sorry I don’t believe half of them.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Notice: Hand on buttock.

[piasa]

If that’s sexual then every baseball coach in the country sexually harasses his team.

[piasa]

Amazing how it distracts from serious stuff like Weinstein making sex bribery a requirement for employment though...

[ROCKLOBSTER]

If that’s sexual then every baseball coach in the country sexually harasses his team.

No, only if it makes them uncomfortable. No self-respecting jock would admit that.

You're thinking of Sandusky and other sports queers.

[Mr Rogers]

OMG! A guy in a wheelchair is touching someone on the buttock! Sexual assault! He touched a woman in public! How disgusting! How...CRIMINAL!

< / sarcasm >

[GOPJ]

Bush should have hired a whore. Hitting on innocent women is trashy...

[ViLaLuz]

I’ve seen elderly dementia sufferers do things like that, some things even worse like one old man exposing himself.
