Disgusting old man. He whines because he can’t get away with this shit anymore. We need to get rid of all these guys. Fine them and let them beg in the street while we feed and nurture children with the salaries they collected while abusing women.

And yet conservatives will probably never hear about him, despite much worse behavior than that of which Franken was accused.

If “Republican Gov. Rick Scott and Attorney General Pam Bondi said he should resign” then the lobbyist must have released the text messages for sex. Only way a Republican can go down.

I am in Starbucks’s sitting at a table with a tutor and his student. Tutor was explaining to him what amoral means. Every article I am reading at TPM is full of amoral people. And I am trying hard not to pipe up with examples!

Maybe these guys should remember to treat female employees as they would want their wives, daughters, mothers to be treated at work.

Rick Scott sucks Donkey ass but as of yet he at least isn’t a reported sexual deviant and shouldn’t be replaced by one.

So this is the new normal? Someone makes an accusation, it is investigated, found credible, the person resigns but STILL insists he/she didn’t get due process? And this will be as opposed to those that are accused, NOT investigated but have to step down anyway? And then someone like Matt Damon says there are degrees of accusations and he’s crucified on Twitter? WTF? This entire process makes me uneasy…

Do not think I am defending THIS guy…I think he falls into the first category…

Politicians and entertainers are the low hanging fruit. Real progress will be measured when saleswomen on the showroom floor no longer have to be careful about bending over near the parts manager.

When lobbyists in Florida find your advances unwelcome and offensive, you need to do some serious reflection.

Not only did he get an independent investigation, he got two, which is two more than Al Franken got. So I guess he should consider himself lucky in the age of Trial By Media. I guess the next illogical step is the institution of Monday Night Rehabilitation…

Judges have special responsibility, in part because it’s very difficult to see what’s going on under their robes.

It shows that Republicans are way ahead in terms of the appropriation and coining of victim metaphors. I mean, come on, man they invented High Tech Lynching. Of course one of their kind was going to invoke Al Franken’s railroading in a case with two investigations. That is a mere white lie in the Modern GOP Playbook.
