Have you?
What constitutes sexual assault then?
Tell me.
Did she accuse him of being a man in a wheel chair next to his wife?
Or did she accuse him of something else?
No, but you ARE a man hater.
"...let the threat remain for his next victim..."
LOL!
I am a man.
Answer my questions.
I’m not joking, and you were correct when you thought that I am serious.
If what she said happened, then she should report it to police.
Let him explain his behavior to them. Why should he get a pass for once being president, or for being 93 in a wheelchair, or for being next to his wife?

“Still, why tell a dirty joke at some sort of event like this?”
I once told a joke in church. I did not consider it in any way obscene or dirty. About a dozen of the baptists laughed, but one person took offense. I told her I was sorry she was offended, but not sorry I told the joke. Why? Because the only way to never offend anyone while telling a joke is to never tell one at all.

US Magazine is owned by Jann Wenner (Rolling Stone), so it’s no surprise he would publish this - remember the Virginia Frat rape story that proved to be a fake and he was successfully sued for.
Nope, not a nun, never have been.
Still waiting for you to tell me what constitutes sexual assault.
The fact that you have not is telling me that either you don’t know, or you know that the answer is checkmate.
"...then she should report it to the police..."
Not if you can riff off said fossil and score political points!
It would be “He said, She said” - and the “He” is arguably one of the most asexual presidents in our history. Thus no case.
Add in she made no comment at the time, and could easily have taken one step sideways to evade - and did not do so, and that they were being photographed at the time, and it adds up to:
Attention seeking media whore.
Whom you are backing.
That’s a real good point, the thing is, other news sources have the same kind of cockeyed headline:
And yes, if one wants to say Newsweek etc. are no better, I agree basically with that.
Looks like CBS (maligned here) is calling it “inappropriate touching” in the headline which is what people tend to remember:

The list goes on.
You are so right...I mostly worked on large construction projects in camp settings and as an upper level manager, I would NEVER have a female employee in my office with the door closed.
If a female employee, (or an employee who identified as being female) insisted on a private discussion, I would only agree on having it in the break room or in the mess hall at dinner.
I was always aware of the potential of being accused of some manufactured claim of harassment and refused to be set up.
Says wbo?
Why should she excuse him?
If an old fossil committed a sex crime, should he not be handcuffed?
What if he does again to someone else? What if this is a pattern of behavior with him?
What if no one ever reports him, because he is GHW Bush, and he’s grown accustomed to getting away with it... just like Weinstein has grown accustomed to it?
If he has dementia they no longer have filters. It’s really not his fault. It should not be called sexual assault in the same way. They are like toddlers and are not responsible for their actions. SOMEONE ELSE needs to be responsible for these people and keep them away from others. That person or entity is at fault. Honestly, it is extremely common for men and women. They appear to be adults but they have no frontal lobe functioning so they should no longer be held accountable at that point.
I do not know the mental condition of Bush but while I despise him, if he has severe enough dementia, I don’t hold him responsible for groping people; I hold his caregiver responsible and they should never bring him into public without precaution.
The police can interview him and her and determine if there is a case or not.
And I’m not backing him, nor am I attacking her.
I don’t know what happened or didn’t happen, however, do I believe it’s possible that he did do this? Yes.
My position is that if she asserts this is what occurred, then she should report it to the police, because such is an actual crime.
