If I reach 90, I’ll keep that in mind - all women are fair game for a grope.

"I now understand from these accounts that my behavior was inappropriate and caused others pain."

Yeah. Right.

You can't tell me that he didn't know at the time that his behavior was 'inappropriate'. I'm a guy, and had I ever done anything remotely like that, my conscience would have been at full-tilt over my actions.

I didn't then, and I don't now need to be told when I'm being a jerk. He knew it, and did it anyways - simply because he could.

If I recall, the volleyball player invited Bush to slap her back.

He's surrounded by photographers and still accepts instead of politely declining. Utterly clueless.

Mona Charen was a conservative commentator before going over to the dark side with one of the Alphabet networks but she is right on here. This second rate actress has to get over herself.

She invited him to share in a volleyball tradition. It would have looked prissy and self-conscious to refuse, and even been impolite toward the woman’s good-natured gesture - and then people would talk about that, too.

It's also why doctors can't be alone with women any more. I went to a gastrologist recently and he was never alone with me. I went to a gynecologist once and he had 2 women in the room with him! This is sick stuff.

Sorry Mona. You don’t get to excuse Bush’s senile but indecent behavior by comparing it to Halperin.

But at least Bush and family owned up to and apologized for his ancient creepiness.

Which category does President Trump fall into? Old, unwell with declining judgment or fully aware predator?

Truthfully? Neither.

Trump called the game on Weinstein in his private conversation about the seediness of wealthy, famous men who feel free to "grab...." and the women who tolerate it. Try listening to and watching the entire tape. It is easily found online. You will be shocked at your own ignorance of what he was actually saying. There is no evidence of him ever doing any such thing.

Trump has never been charged with sexual assault. He has never been accused by anyone willing to follow up on their accusation. He has never paid off an accuser. He has been circumspect around women to a fault. Prove me wrong, fool.

The Left has killed Christian morality, and has wanted to replace authority of the bible and independent churches with politics and government.

Of course, you can’t have a social free-for-all, and moreover, you will create inherent contradictions, for example, when the “sexual revolution” meets the demands of feminism.

So the Left had created a hybrid, frankenstein morality. We have an environment of apparent sexual freedom, but you can’t grab a women’s butt, not because its a sin, but because it violates rules of “power” between individuals.

For some odd reason I have no desire whatsoever to defend a Bush against anything.

I can’t imagine what would’ve brought that sad state of affairs on....oh well.

Q: When Is 'Sexual Assault' Not Sexual Assault?

A: When a democrat does it.

C'mon, give me a tough question.

Well, I’m not disagreeing with you. But there are the 3 wives. I find that personally immoral. Not that it kept me from voting for Trump.

No one’s perfect, and you HAVE to make choices.

A joking 'My wife Laura would kill me' would have got him out of it instead of the picture being in the news cycle for a week.

Bush's are blundering morons.

Changing the definitions and meanings of words and phrases is how the first amendment is going to be defeated.

"If I reach 90, I’ll keep that in mind - all women are fair game for a grope."

I question if the word "grope" can even apply to someone in HW's condition.
Did you happen to catch his coin-toss at the Super Bowl?
Those hands might flail or fumble, but they cannot "grope", imho.
