BTW: what's wrong with making a pass, as crude as it was, at a woman? He forced her to do nothing and there was no retribution for her non-compliance. A mountain out-of-a-molehill i say!
He was the governor of Arkansas at the time, for one. He had Paula summoned to his hotel room. And of course she went. It's not like he was a nobody camped out in a hotel room. Business is conducted from hotel suites all the time. For example, during COMDEX, Dell Computer Corp doesn't even have a booth on the convention floor. Instead, they have a suite of rooms in a hotel, from which they conduct business; make deals, sell computers.
When summoned by a governor, a CEO, a VP, a President: Nobody is going to refuse to go, if it is not too inconvenient. First of all it's flattering when someone in a position of power requests an audience with a common citizen. Secondly, you'll go even if their politics are the opposite of yours. You will be thrilled anyway, and curious as all get out. And in this case of Paula, as I understand her politics were not in the "vast right wing conspiracy" camp. In fact she worked as an employee in the Clinton administration in Arkansas.
So stop being an idiot, Ed Frye, and just admit that when Governor Clinton dropped his drawers in front of Paula, there is something very very wrong and vulgar with that. Keep in mind that Clinton was married at the time, also.
You know what's interesting, Ed? When Bob Packwood had his sexual troubles, the mainstream media and all the bitchy whiny feminists were *very* condemning and damning of sexual harassment.
Then when their little billy boy dropped his drawers and faced the prospect of defending himself in a sexual harassment lawsuit, those words "sexual harassment" all but disappeared from the vocabulary of folks like Sam Donaldson and other left-wing conspirators.
Ed, I don't think your or I know the depth or scope of the whole-sale corruption that runs like a broad river through the Clinton administration. Clearly Clinton cares little for the rule of law, and that attitude has obviously been conveyed to people in positions of power throughout his administration.
I wouldn't be at all surprised if even Clintons most ardent current supporters will, within six months, be saying that perhaps for the good of the country, President Clinton should step down. |
