"Show me a man who is 84 years old who doesn't look at girls' backsides," or as I would put it, "Show me a man who is 84 years old who doesn't look at girls' backsides, and I show you a dead man."

You sound a little less than fully informed as to the facts of this particular incident. It was not just the checking out of the caboose. You're right, we all do that. In this case, though, the young lady in question brought him a cup of tea, was walking away and nearly out of the room when he called her back and told her to walk away again (for his viewing pleasure). It was not simple checking her out.

He thinks he is untouchable. That sort of behavior in public by elected or appointed officials is unacceptable. Good Bye Schafer. We can do better.

I don't care how much a guy looks. It's when he can't seem to shut up about it, or starts saying he's "real mad" that 62-year-old women aren't dressing to show their asses, that I start to wonder if he's still all there upstairs.

I was looking for the original remarks from 9/5 (haven't found them yet), and came across some radio article about Schaefer being asked "if his apology was sincere", to which Shaefer began singing "I'm sincere, I'm sincere" to no recognizable tune. Outdoors in front of reporters, the week before election day.

Yeah, that Schaefer has a mind like a steel trap.

You're right. He was doing her a favor, actually, by giving her the opportunity to express her displeasure at his actions. Its the application of the 'one free grope' rule. All hail Bill Clinton. < /quasi-tounge-in-cheek >
