Oh, Janice, I do not think anyone would think you sound like a male chauvinist pig. Your point is well taken, and one that did not occur to me. And perhaps having gotten into the game so late, after so much criticism of their sitting on the sidelines, both feminist leaders felt they had to say something pretty firm.

You are right. There have actually been very funny comedy routines about "Can I kiss you on the lips? . . . can I touch your left breast now. . .?" Not very romantic at all!!

We really do not know if anything happened at all. We really have no idea, and perhaps never will. I do think, however, that if Willey's account is absolutely true, considering that she was distraught, in tears even by Clinton's admission, and very worried because her husband was missing, I would consider it assault, because she was obviously in a very vulnerable position and asking for a job as well.

If this is not exactly how it happened, however, and she had flirted wildly with him before, there was a glimmer of mutuality and he simply misread her vibes, the case for assault would be very weak.
