Yuck. Is there a woman in his sights that pervy Democratic San Diego Mayor Bob Filner hasn't harassed, molested, insulted, propositioned, groped, headlocked or slobbered on while holding public office? In less than a month, the number of victims and witnesses coming forward has skyrocketed from three to 13. And the details have grown even more unbelievably sordid.
This isn't a local "sex scandal." It's a nationwide predator scandal.
When I last reported on this career creepster's case, his fiancee had broken up with him, his former spokeswoman had revealed that Filner told her to "work without her panties on," and the sheriff's office had set up a Bob Filner Abuse Hotline. It's been "lit up" with calls for weeks now, according to the city's former police chief.
Filner still holds his office and is chilling out in "therapy," undoubtedly waiting for the heat to die down. He submitted a doctor's note this week to avoid a deposition hearing for the sexual harassment suit filed by his former communications director, Irene McCormack, who first described how Filner put her in his trademark headlock.
Beltway Democrats -- and bizarrely, many Republicans -- don't want to talk about his alleged serial sexual assaults. But more and more victims, many of whom were targets when Democrat Filner was a high-powered 10-term U.S. congressman and former chair of the House Veterans Affairs Committee, are finally speaking up.
On Tuesday, nurse Michelle Tyler blew the whistle on how Filner offered to help her patient, Iraq war vet Katherine Ragazzino, with VA problems only if Tyler agreed "to go to dinner with him, spend personal time with him and be seen in public with him."
Air Force veteran Eldonna Fernandez and Army veteran Gerri Tindley -- both sexual assault victims of other scumbags -- also revealed that Filner had propositioned them. And San Diego-based National Women Veterans Association of America President Tara Jones reported that there were seven or eight women in the group whom Filner had taken to dinner and groped -- "grabbed breasts, buttocks, the full gamut. ... He's a sexual predator. And he used this organization for his own personal agenda."
San Diego City College official Lisa Curtin described a meeting in which Filner grabbed her hand and forced her to submit to a "saliva-filled kiss" -- wait, it gets ickier and stickier -- "including feeling his tongue on my cheek." Businesswoman Patti Roscoe related how Filner "slobbered down my chin." Entertainer Emily Gilbert told how Filner "proceeded to slide his hand down my arm and then did a little grab on my derriere" while she was singing for him at a fundraiser.
Last fall, two anonymous women who "worked for or around" Filner's congressional office warned Democrats in a letter about his "relentless and disgusting" behavior. "Many women in D.C. refer to (Filner) as 'Bobo,' 'Mr. Misogynist,' 'Nasty Narcissist' or simply 'Filthy Filner.'"
Headlock Bob isn't the only one who needs his head examined. When feminists ask how this could have happened for so long, they need to start asking every last enabling Democratic woman on the Hill. They need to start asking every last enabling liberal female pundit, columnist and media insider who peddled GOP-bashing War on Women propaganda while Filthy Filner was on the loose.
With the grope-and-headlock count rising like Bob's libido at a Planned Parenthood fundraiser, it strains credulity to believe that the Democratic female elite in Washington didn't purposely look the other way at this insatiable entrenched beast's abuse of power. Power doesn't just corrupt the old boys' club in three-piece suits. It corrupts the old girls' club in pumps and progressive clothing, too.
doctor’s notes cut no ice with me if you are my client, you better be in the hospital
It has been noted that politicians are very close
functionally to predators.
The DNC routinely demonstrates this, and its coverup.
I didn’t see any mention of one of them slapping his face.
But he’s NOW’s perv. As long as he is for abortion the gropes don’t count.
Pray for America to Wake Up
most of the dems pols in california can’t afford to draw attention to their own scandals and criminal activity to call for this perp to step down.
When Democrat crooks get caught, they head straight for the rehab center. The Kennedys, Jacksons, Filners, Weiners etc. are always “sick,” instead of admitting they are evil creeps who should never be trusted with public office.
This tactic usually keeps them out of jail, while keeping them in office.
I am a little confused, there is nothing anyone outside of San Diego can do about this he is there Mayor.
The amount of talk radio talk outside the city seems like more boob bait for the busters.
Also, it seems most of the women complaining note meetings with him in congress where all the low life’s are few when he was a mayor.
liberals don't believe personal behavior can be moral or immoral - but if that behavior starts causing them political problems, then rehab is in order.
ultra-liberal women were kind of ok with Clinton abusing them - but Filner's ugly mug, more clumsy come-ons, and his relatively low amount of political power will ultimately be his un-doing. The GOP really needs to use Filner against the Dem's - like the Dem's did with Mark Foley. Filner is setting this up perfectly by hanging on to office. It's obvious his behavior was known and tolerated by Dem leadership while he was in congress.
This would be on the news 24/7 if he was a Republican.
Republicans generally take out their trash.
Democrats re-elect it.
Democrat is a mental disorder. Just like Chappaquiddick Teddy and all his buddies.
Oh I forgot he will be re-elected because he is a democrat
YO! San Diego FReepers!
What does Roger Hedgecock have to say about Filner?
I don’t get his radio show here in Jacksonville, and am curious.
I first met Filner when he was a second term Congressman, and my first thought was “This guy is an asshole!”
Nothing he has done since has disabused me of that notion.
But since Filner was a LIEberal Democrat in good standing (he was a founding member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus and ALWAYS voted with the LIEberal cabal), he kept getting re-elected to Congress. Apparently, he was VERY GOOD at diverting US taxpayer’s money to buy votes in his district.
The citizens of California have probably dodged a bullet — Filner wants to move to the Governor’s mansion. Not likely, now.
San Diego will be well rid of him when they tar and feather him and run him out of town on a rail!
Best they get on with it!
LOL! That's what I was wondering, too.
I amazes me how these women stay silent until enough of them start speaking up...then it reaches the 'tipping point', and they all start running out from the shadows. Why don't they just take care of their own business for themselves?

If 'Filthy Filner' EVER touched me like that, he'd wind up the same way the last creepaziod that tried it did...in the hospital with a busted nose.
“ultra-liberal women were kind of ok with Clinton abusing them - but Filner’s ugly mug, more clumsy come-ons, and his relatively low amount of political power will ultimately be his un-doing.”
You said a mouthful, my friend!!
My daughter went to work for the government and was harassed, I told her to slap their face. If they said anything spill the beans that they were harassing her.
She never had any more trouble after that and they don’t dare complain.
Usually to higher office.
