I’m old….wait a minute, I’m older I’ve been around the block, (so they say), but not around ALL the blocks! I admit that gives me a limited amount of knowledge concerning some topics, so I’ll muddle thru this one.
I became aware of presidents about the time of Eisenhower. I was old enough to know about elections and remember being awakened by my parents saying he had won. At that time, if it was okay with them, it was okay with me.
Down the road, however, I’ve become more aware of those who choose to politic….They are not better than I am, their skin is just thicker. They may or may not be purer than I am, but I do believe I am a lot smarter about realizing the outcome of that answer, in certain fields of endeavor. I speak to this because it seems sexual error is the only area most people are interested in……Foreign policy, nah, taxing the hell out of everyone, nah, following laws that are already on the books, nah, firing inept people within the ZIPs in Washington, nah, checking on whether the troops have enough to keep them safe, nah. Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah.
It’s the sex…..the who did what to whom, and when and where they did it! Tonight, when you put on your jams, think back over the list of politicians, from mayors to Presidents, who have realized after the fact, that men cannot make good decisions with their pants down…..even someone elses…..
Now I’m not saying that taking advantage of a person is acceptable. Selected abuse is abundant and should not be tolerated, period…regardless of age or sex. But this game of politics is rife with checking out those who seem to fall from the grace of another,( who has been, or is doing much of the same thing.)
So here is my plea……if we are going to acknowledge what Ms. Bialek said, let us I not stop with Herman Cain…….I’m sure there are many men who have made sexual advances to her in her lifetime……So lets, for the sake of the list, start in the 1990’s somewhere. If it is good to remind us of Herman, please remind us of others who have done you wrong, or attempted to. I feel it’s the only fair way to handle this……Otherwise, it would suggest that you are selecting Herman, and I don’t like that. I don’t like that at all.
Incidentally, that goes for all the OTHER girls and boys who want to play the game of politics…..name one, name them all.)
