Yes, reminds me of the comedian that talks about birthdays and how you can start to break the law when you are 70...by 100 you can punch or choke out anyone you can ;)

If GWHB is suffering from some form of dementia, the family just ought to come clean about it.

Where are the groping complaints about Joe Biden and Bill Clinton?

If men and women are equal, where are the complaints about women groping men?

Who are “most people?” Any red blooded 93 yr old man who still has the stamina and fortitude to display casual sexual affection for a beautiful young woman has my deepest respect. I am 78 and try hard, sometimes, not to touch the merchandise.

But wait a minute. GWB just ripped Trump. Doesn’t that put him in the media’s good graces?

yesterday I was willing to believe it was an accidental graze on the butt, (and no real big deal) but now, no way. DOM syndrome.
what a foolish old fart, and complete lack of class. UGH.

HW was hanging out with Slick too much and figured, why not give groping a try?

I still think any woman groped by a dirty old man should just slap him away and admonish him. That’s the way all the Southern women I know would do it. And when you are aware of a man being this way, you do not allow him into your personal space. And you warn other women to keep a distance. I can remember a lot of old men who had this reputation when I was a child and teenager. We stayed away. Family members warned females.

Please don’t take this as a defense of the Bushies (it isn’t), but I hope folks recognize this #metoo thing for what it is: a massive effort on the left to raise hysteria among women to effect massive social change...and not for the positive.

...

This complaint seems to be legitimate.

What. A 90 something one worlder patting a rump? Sorry, but that’s called semi-senility. Even though I can’t stomach the whole family......

“Deadspin reported that a source said .....”


I am not going to accept that as being fact. I am not a fan of new world order globalists but I am not going to condemn a man that has lost half his senses.

I have a 90+ year old relative I see regularly. He thinks he’s a player too. A lot of these old folks have lost half their senses. If he was half his age doing this, I wouldn’t be as willing to overlook it.

I’ve had women say things to me over the years that would be considered inappropriate — sometimes unwanted. So it’s not just men.

I thought all men were allowed one free grope.

At least that’s what we were told when accusations were leveled against BJ Clintoon.

I groped a classmate in 7th grade. She liked it because she liked me. I’m sure she went and told her girlfriends later that day. We both attended the same elementary school and competed against each other in spelling bees, so it wasn’t as though she didn’t already know me. She was ‘better’ developed than most girls her age. Back in the ‘80s, she called my uncle’s house trying to find me. I never followed up on it. Am I to think that I’m a bad person and that I have always been a sexual predator? If I had sincerely “moved with the times”, I might have wanted to make amends or carry the weight of regret and shame for the rest of my life...but that didn’t happen because it isn’t necessary because it was all just about growing up.

I’m getting pretty jealous! I met him and he didn’t touch me.

This alleged actress should have just shut up.

She had to cash in on her 15 seconds of fame too. Otherwise, I would have never heard of Jordan whatever her name is.

This complaint seems to be legitimate.

It seems he did indeed touch her butt. On the other hand, she says he "sexually assaulted" her. Over the top and an insult to women who were really abused.

Cuffing snowflakes. ZERO tolerance, and no respect for traditions that extend back to days of tribes and clans.

Old guys were assigned privilege not allowed to younger guys.

For good and valid reasons.
