Sharon Davis: I Was Groped, Too (Desperation?)
Newsmax ^ | 10/6/03 | Carl Limbacher

Posted on 10/06/2003 1:06:40 PM PDT by truthandlife

Even California first lady Sharon Davis wants to get into the act, diving into the Schwarzenegger accusathon Sunday night to detail her own humiliating groping experience while working as a mini-skirted flight attendant decades ago.

"I worked for the airlines," Mrs. Davis told CNN's "Larry King." "In fact, I worked for PSA when we wore short little uniforms."

"Because of the type of uniform we wore people felt like they could take liberties and it was humiliating and so I understand [why Arnold's accusers are upset]," she explained.

Asked if male passengers had ever grabbed her, Mrs. Davis told King, "Oh, well, yes. Or they would say things that you would know they would never want said to their daughter or their wife or their girlfriend or their niece and it's so humiliating."

She said she identified with Arnold's alleged grope victims, explaining, "I understand these women not coming forward because you're so humiliated. You really want to put it out of you mind. You want to just put it behind you but it's really always there."

Mrs. Davis did not explain how she managed to endure the company one of her husband's most prominent supporters, serial sexual predator Bill Clinton, while suffering through her grope flashbacks.

Don't know about PSA, but I can imagine a younger version of

in one of the first Southwest Airlines uniforms. Her story just might be believable -- except that attitudes were way different about such things back before the feminazi movement...

A little "retrospective revisionism" going on here?

Conservatives (even questionable CINOs) have to be winning for the Rats to be this scared. You only take flak when you are over the target...

the physical reminders fade

Are you sure? If I recall, those PSA gals had the most bodacious outfits in the skies. And they wore them a couple sizes too small. If I may offer a cure, go find one of those fat, grateful stewardesses of United Airlines and give her a memory, a hamburger, and send her on her way.

The hamburger will give her comfort while you make a hasty retreat.

I heard on the Morning Show (KSFO) that Sharon and Gray don't live together. Melanie Morgan and Lee Rogers have discussed that more than once.

I rented that movie about airline stewardesses on DVD (it was free with another rental, Old School which I enjoyed much more).

Mike Myers couldn't save that film but the DVD had a documentary about stewardesses. They go into the background of what they did (back to the earliest days) and then go on to discuss the uniforms. They even talk about wearing paper dresses that just didn't seem to hold up in the stress of a flight.

I was heavily groped by a woman who had her way with me all last week. She would not take no for an answer no matter how much I cried for mercy.

Just because we were on our honeymoon in Vegas should not matter .... should it ???? Can I sue in 20 years ... I feel so shamed :<)

All this talk of groping back in the '60s and '70s is starting to make me think I didn't get my share of the action.

Gee- I was thinking the same thing this AM in the shower, and I thought I was pretty busy dating during that time period. Guess I was living a fantasy!!!

Sharon Davis was a PSA stewardess, in what was for the time in history, some of the most racy costumes, and she expected to be treated like she was a nun? I don't advocate bad behavior, really. But if you want to dress like that, in a plane, in a bar, in a strip club, whatever, then you gets yur paycheck and you takes yur chances. Lots of attractive women got lots of tips in scanty costumes. Ladies at Hooters still do. There is always a man who will do something stupid. The next question is how you handle it.

I had a guy make a pretty serious pass at me in front of a group of about 8 others when I was picking up work at a client in the very early 70's. He thought he was pretty special. I turned to him, looked him slowly up and down, and told him: "If you are coming to my fire, you'd better bring enough hose". This stopped him in his tracks, royally embarrassed him in front of his buddies, and from that day on, he never said anything out of line to me again. Was quite respectful, in fact.
Can't say that would work for anyone else, but the 60's and 70's were a different time than now. And above all else, even today's stricter sex harrassment laws in Calif have only a 1 year limitation. So why all the BS?
All of this is Gray Davis doing what he does best- MUD SLINGING politics. If he was as talented at keeping Calif solvent, he wouldn't be facing this recall election and an ouster.

Unfortunately for Sharon, Gray has never groped her. She only wishes he would. In fact, I suspect that Gray has never touched Sharon. I have always had the impression that Sharon was for window dressing.

I wonder what the results would be if Jim made that a topic of a poll? I think alot of us out here have had that thought, and even more so these past few days.

It's amazing to how most American Women if had the chance they would like to date Clinton?
As a woman I find these groping allegations by ex-party girls one big sham.

Women are munipulative, I hate to say that as I am a female, but I Know many women that are sneaky King Ka MAYA MAYA Bi-------atches when it comes to men.

HELL HATH NO FURY AS A WOMAN SCORNED

if she was a stew for PSA I'd like to know just when, did they not go out of business in the 1980's?

PSA was folded into what is now Southwest Airlines.

Someone is going to make boku bucks selling tee shirts:

"I Was Groped By Arnie!"

By tomorrow we'll probably be seeing them on Nancy Pelosi and Barbara Boxer; probably not on Diane Feinstein.

I understand that Maria Shriver now claims that Arnold, repeatedly, groped her.
