As I said before, I didn't like these kinds of ploys
regarding Clinton and I don't like it now.

It's all politically motivated.

Clinton got into real trouble because he chose to
perjure himself, which is quite a separate issue.

I'm not defending Arnold because I think much of
his past behavior was inappropriate.

I do draw a distinction between his behavior as an
actor and Clinton's use of his offices in advancing
his sexual conquests, but that's also a separate issue.

It is likely that none of these claimants
had an actionable civil suit. If they had a viable criminal case, those kind of charges would likely have
been made in a timely fashion, particularly if the
events occurred during more modern history.

I've no idea if all these unnamed 16 you keep referring to
are lying. Rhonda's story seems implausible in light of
all the circumstances and the contrary evidence.

The problem is that anyone injecting herself into
the limelight with these tardily raised claims is opening
herself up to skepticism. Legitimate skepticism.

What is most unfortunate about this is that these kind of claims call into question legitimate sex harassment claims
being brought by real victims, and tend to tar women
with an unflattering brush.

And btw, don't call me "Pal". I'm a woman. I'm also someone, unlike you, who does not think it acceptable for
employers to push secretaries around because they're having a bad day. That is every bit as offensive as some of
these asserted "groping" incidents.

I note that you've claimed to be both a man and woman.
Which is it?
A guy who pushes women around or something else?
