Well, it's different when it's your own employee. Obviously Ms Whitman owned that young woman at the time.
God, she's a *****.

In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
You don't see the difference between a sitting Congressman and a company executive?
Personally, I think that story, and others like it, should be weighed in the election by voters. She was a private citizen at the time, however.

And here's hoping she remains so.

Jophed,
Is there video evidence? Then it didn't happen. Some radical liberal chinese woman decides to lie about her boss to get a pay day and the boss says f*ck it and pays her off rather than spend more money trying to defend himself.
Come back at me when you have video evidence of a GOP member doing anything remotely similar to this and being able to keep his position. This is just one of the reasons why the GOP generally hold the moral high ground over their democrat counterparts.

I don't disagree. I am not a fan of the CEO as governor. I think the approach in political office needs to be different from that of the executive in the board room.
I just smoked a joint, but I can't find a video recording of it. That must mean it never really happened!

Someone said you added something to a conversation once, but I can't find any evidence of that, either.

Could you imagine the imagined outrage had any GOP congressman done this exact same thing.

I'm still just a little surprised by the implicit pass given to a U.S. Congressman on tape assaulting someone. I don't expect overstated outrage, but an honest treatment has to at least yield some concern, which I'm not seeing displayed here. Are you people really that polarized that you can't be bothered to call a spade a spade and acknowledge obvious lawbreaking when you are confronted with it?

Because things like this used to matter. That they don't any more is a sad commentary.

You're always so mad at me because I don't want to engage in your petty little forum trolling. Sorry, Moe.
As a side note, I Googled "GOP assault" and found this little gem.
The first entry is my favorite. Hot underage furry action.

Trust me, sugar tits, you couldn't elicit an emotional response from me. You're just an easy target since my favorite snail trail got banned.

Based on the reactions of people here in this discussion, it doesn't appear to matter much at all.

The good old day, before the darkies took over.
I would say that in fact these things matter much much more then they ever used to, that they get way more attention, and are blown way more out of proportion by the opposing side then ever before. This wouldn't have even been a story 10 years ago.
It's so much better covered now that people are saturated with this kind of story. It's very hard to care about in all honesty a pretty vanilla story of someone being an *** when you hear these kinds of story's all the time. In all honesty it will probably all play out and affect him as much as it should, whether it be though legal stuff or just electoral stuff.

You always baww that people don't post more to entertain you in your sad little hobby. I don't dare try to elicit an emotional response from Moe, he might twist my words around and make me out to be a bad person! And then I'll have to defend myself! Yawn.
At least you said my tits were sweet. Thanks for noticing. <3

It wouldn't have been reported 10 years ago. It would have been a story, just not one that was covered at all. I would argue that the polarization and over-emphasis is why it doesn't matter as much. It can't be seen in context through the haze of partisan glasses. Like **** Cheney on the floor of the senate. That should have mattered that he couldn't uphold the decorum of the institution. Character should matter and displays of a lack of it should draw something more than the "meh." reaction we get here.

To be a story requires it to be reported on by any common use of the word story. When someone talks about something not really being a story, they generally mean it's not news worthy, or at least not really worth reporting. That's the way I was using it.
There is also the fact that this thread is positioning it as typical Democrat behavior which is silly and doesn't really lend to anyone taking it seriously at all.

That decorum never really existed, at least not as some pure unbroken chain of noble behavior. As for reporting what's important rather than sensationalizing for attention or some ephemeral political gain, I couldn't agree more. However, even in this mythical golden age for which you seem so nostalgic, the news that was reported was still slanted and biased and uneven.
For decades it was assumed that serial killers and sex offenders were mostly white. Not because the media and/or society hated white men - far from it. It was because crimes against people of color weren't investigated, weren't reported in the news, and weren't solved nearly as often. Still aren't, for the most part.
You want to see people spend their outrage on Etheridge? You're disappointed that we don't? Etheridge is nothing.

Well, it's hardly surprising no one cares. Students aren't real people, anyway.

If they were even students. If it wasn't a setup.
It'll be interesting to see how the details shake out.

Usually, students will at least say what school they're from, even if they refuse to give out their names.
Unless they're not even students, or they're students from another state, which sort of gives up the game.

Not really, no. Especially not when one is running for chief executive of the 7th largest economy in the world and the other is running for 0.22% of the House of Representatives.

Unless it's a "private citizen" who happens to be running for a GOP governorship. Then it's waved away with "Let the voters decide."
