Apparently you're not quite as smart as you think you are.

Clarity is always welcome.

One important thing that is becoming clear is we don't lump any and all sexual misbehavior together. Categories must be recognized.

Clinton Defense Syndrome?

Clinton shamed himself with Lewinsky nobody is defending that. Otherwise, there is no equivalency there.

John Conyers announced today that he's retiring effective immediately in the midst if sexual harassment claims that he claims he didn't commit (another allegation against Conyers made news today). His announcement, to me, is the epitome of hubris:

I am retiring today,” Conyers said, in what is effectively a resignation. “I want everyone to know how much I appreciate the support that – the incredible, undiminished support I’ve received across the years from my supporters, not only in my district but across the country, as well.”

Conyers has been in the U.S. House for 53 years – the longest-serving African-American in history.

The 88-year-old lawmaker made the announcement Tuesday morning during a disjointed phone interview on The Mildred Gaddis Show, 102.7 FM, in which he said the accusations against him will “absolutely not” affect his legacy.

“My legacy can’t be compromised or diminished in anyway by what we’re going through now. This too shall pass. I want you to know that my legacy will continue through my children,” Conyers said.

I'm sure the women he abused are pleased to hear that his legacy is intact.

Meanwhile, your party is four square behind Roy Moore and Trump. You must be proud.

It took 6 minutes for Bob ( a Clinton / Conyers / Franken / Carlos Danger / Menendez / Kihuen fan) to try and change the subject. Kudos for being on the case, Bob.

The subject is sexual harassment. Donny and Roy are far worse at it, by all accounts.

Poor Whell, as a father of girls, it must keep you up at night supporting the party of Roy Moore. That is if you have any conscience at all. I do not envy you one bit.
