“I just was shocked because I’d never had anyone do something like that to me, especially in a position of authority and trust,” DeMaio said.

Presumably you mean “Bosnich said”, Daniel. Can you write even one article that doesn’t have a glaring error like this?

Fuck this guy’s couch.

To be utterly crass, I’m sure the candidate was saying at the same time of the described act, “I’m going to repeal obamacare. I’m going to repeal obamacare.”

TPM: Republican Congressional Candidate Carl DeMaio, running in California’s 52nd Congressional District, allegedly once asked a campaign staffer to come into his office and when the staffer did DeMaio, whose back was turned, turned around and masturbated in front of the staffer. … “I saw his hand —— his penis in his hand,” Bosnich said when describing the incident. “He had a smile on his face.”

Is it really a surprise that Republicans treat their staffers the same way they treat the American people?

First they came for the Copy Editors and I did nothing…

DeMaio:
“OH GOOD GOD! Once - just once … and then for that I will forever be called ‘Carl the Chicken Choker’ ?? … this just isn’t fair…”

I can see this being said in order to discredit an openly gay candidate; however, I am reminded of Eric Massa. So…it could be the truth. It’s hard to say.

I do this all the time, what’s the big deal?

"DeMaio strongly denied the allegations to CNN. When Frates asked DeMaio about Bosnich’s accusations, the candidate repeatedly cut Frates off, saying that the police had not corroborated Bosnich’s claims and said that Bosnich had been fired for plagiarism.

“This is an individual that was let go by our campaign manager for plagiarism, a well-documented plagiarism incident of taking a report from the National journal and passing it off as his own work. He was terminated. He admitted that he plagiarized,” DeMaio said."

When you see a denial along the lines of the above, that’s the surest sign the alleged incident did, in fact, occur.

He should have hired a Log Cabinboy. Those self-loathers would have spread their legs with glee.

TerriRK · October 10, 2014, 10:32pm

this reminds me of Two words. .Paula Jones.

Thanks. I had just about (20 years on) erased her picture, and that of Linda Tripp, from my mind. Now I’ll need more brain bleach.

“…allegations of alleged sexual harassment…”

Is that what that thing is?

booch221 · October 10, 2014, 10:46pm

Is this the guy that Boner campaigned for in California?

antisachetdethe · October 10, 2014, 10:48pm

Yep. Schadenfreude shooters tonight!

TerriRK · October 10, 2014, 10:51pm

Linda Tripp always looked like Sylvester Stallone in drag to me…

cessnadriver · October 10, 2014, 10:52pm

I don’t believe it. A repig that can find his dick? Doesn’t exist.

occamsrazor2 · October 10, 2014, 10:54pm

I get the feeling that this was behavior relevant to the current campaign. Correct?

barblzz · October 10, 2014, 10:54pm

Does this surprise any one? Makes me wonder about the tea baggers who support him.
