A Hit Job as Transparent as a Bikini (NYTimes Trump & the ladies attack)

"Donald J. Trump had barely met Rowanne Brewer Lane when he asked her to change out of her clothes."

"Oh, boy," readers of The New York Times thought when they picked up the Sunday paper and read that opening line of a story on the presumptive Republican presidential nominee. Here comes good stuff: hot, leggy models getting out of their clothes, sex, lust, bodice ripping, pretentious pawing, aggressive coupling, runaway desire and maybe drugs and damnation, all set under the palms at Mar-a-Lago, the Trump estate in Palm Beach, Florida.

At long last: the lowdown on the Donald.

Umm, well, not quite. There was indeed a poolside party at Mar-a-Lago, though this one was 26 years ago, and the leggy model did "change out of her clothes." The host started to show her around the mansion, and when he learned she didn't have a bathing suit, he took her to a room where she could find one. What happened next could only have shocked Grandpa and Grandma Grundy, the authors of the newspaper exclusive, also known as Michael Barbaro and Megan Twohey. (Gramps and Granny Grundy can't be too careful.)

And yet - there’s **crickets** at the Old Gay Whore about Bill Clinton’s serial rape spree, and Corrupt Hillary’s savaging of the Clinton rape victims...

For Pity’s sake. Old news is not news. So the media has an objection to swimsuits, parties or just Donald Trump and his gracious treatment toward women? What if he had asked that she don an animal skin and swung tree to tree with him? Now that would be a story! Add a monkey, and it becomes an even better story! The biased PR machine has at last fallen off that lower limb.

However, you need to refresh your memories about Bill. In the Lewinsky affair Bill was not the pursuer. Monica drove that bus. It doesn’t make their relationship and actions any less sordid. But in the coming months it is going to be important to keep the stories straight.

No and no. And as a married man that's insulting. If I'm at work and a young lady is making sexual advances at me and I'm her boss here are my options:

1. Forget my wife. Forget my marriage vows. Forget that she's a subordinate. Have sex with her.

2. Record the next encounter. Tell her that it is unacceptable behavior in the workplace and within a marriage and that it needs to stop. If she refuses to stop she needs to be disciplined, reassigned or fired.

Bill Clinton chose number 1. It is completely and totally his fault.

You didn’t even read the post.

Yet you preach to someone that agrees with you.

Might I suggest a reading comprehension class at a local grammar school.

I read the post completely. You said "In the Lewinsky affair Bill was not the pursuer. Monica drove that bus."

Monica was not at fault at all and maybe I didn't communicate that clearly enough. It was totally and completely Clintons fault. Your post, and especially the line I quoted, seems to give Clinton a pass using the "gee what else could he do" defense.

You give a lib any leeway at all in that argument by calling Monica the pursuer and you're playing their game.

In no way did I give Clinton a pass. You forget how the Cointons taught everyone to parse every word. If the Bill story is not accurate, they will dismiss us out of hand.

They’re making bikinis transparent now?

I gotta get to the beach more often.
