the committee their recommendations. At the conclusion of this review,
the members will go through sexual harassment training,” she said.

Well, you COULD try not harassing the women.

How bout you give THAT a shot?

About time to do a complete inventory of the gene pool and find out just how shallow the gene pool is in Tennessee.

I just literally laughed out loud.

Kinda tough on the interns, however necessary: those receptions are a great way to eke out the grocery budgets limited by their meager salaries. (Or at least, they were when I was one, many, many, many moons ago).

I know how I’d be supplementing my meager income in a state government full of batshit crazy Teabagger Republicans: blackmail! You know that the more conservative these mofos are, the freakier their sex lives are. “Wide stance” and all, dontcha know.

seems like the best solution would be to stop electing Republican majorities or elect more Republican women…

About 3 inches, if that, deep… and I live in East TN.

Did you read the article? The harasser doesn’t think he was harassing anyone. That’s often the case. I don’t know how you fix that.

I did too. It’s really a bitch when you have to go out and say, “Okay kids, we’re sort of like a big building full of copies of Uncle Roger out here. And you know how HE is.”

Ummm…that’s right Henk. It’s ALL about the harasser and how they BELIEVE him.

What about rubbing against the leg of a legislator and purring?

FOX: Obama’s America is turning conservatives into sex addicts.

No one could have foreseen that some simple hillbillies elected to the state legislature would behave so badly once they got to big city Nashville.

You are confusing cats–who do no work and get pampered–with interns–who do all the work and get harassed.
