He may think it 's an organ ;but Huma says it plays like a Spinet .

And again the Weiner scandal has opened some old wounds in the Clintoon family . They have been furious over the constant comparison between Evita's 'stand by your man' moment and Huma's .
Now it turns out that Monica secretly taped a message to Bubba that the Enquirer has obtained .

"I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Ms Lewinsky."

I noticed that Huma is off on an extended vacation, not at Hillary's bidding I'm sure.

[tomder55]

Turns out the texting scandal may be a distraction from the real scandal . Sen Chuck Grassley in his role as ranking minority member of the Senate Judiciary Committee ,is demanding documents from State about the private consulting work Huma Weiner did for the Clintoon Foundation while also working as deputy chief of staff to Sec State Evita ;where she had access to state secrets. She earned over $350,000 in fees while also being employed by the gvt.

Of course he's being stonewalled in his request ,but that may be the REAL reason Huma is taking leave from the Clintoons .Grassely suspects that Huma was giving insider info to her private employer... Teneo Holdings ,an affiliate of the Clintoon empire .Teneo Holdings client list included MF Global ,and various foreign governments . That would be typical of the Clintoons and their propensity to sell state secrets to foreign governments .

Her employment status was changed to "special government employee" in June 2012, which allowed her to leave Washington and work from New York. This was at the same time that some members of Congress were questioning her personal and family ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. This was also the same time that the State Dept changed the Brotherhood status ;dropping it's 'terrorist organization' status.

So Grassley has some legitimate concerns that the State Dept and Huma Weiner could address by handing over the pertinent information he seeks.
But as is normal ,he is being met with the standard response... phony scandal...aint nothing there ....move on...

At least you got the response right.

Yep, followed by "hey look at this shiny thing."

It's come to this, Bob Filthy Filner's defense is he didn't receive sexual harassment training, not in his two decades in congress nor in his short stint as mayor of San Diego.

“The city failed to provide such training to Mayor Filner,” Filner’s lawyer Harvey Berger wrote in a July 29 letter to City Attorney Jan Goldsmith. “In fact, it is my understanding that such training was scheduled, but the trainer for the city unilaterally cancelled, and never re-scheduled such training for the Mayor (and others.) Therefore, if there is any liability at all, the city will almost certainly be liable for ‘failing to prevent harassment’ under Government Code Section 12940(k).”…

“While, to paraphrase Bob Dylan, many might argue that ‘you don’t need a weatherperson to tell you which way the wind blows,’ and an adult male should not need sexual harassment training, I would point out that in his decades of public service for the people of San Diego as a U.S. Representative, Mayor Filner has never received sexual harassment training,” Berger writes. “This is not an excuse for any inappropriate behavior which may have occurred, but having conducted sexual harassment training many times over the years, I have learned that many – if not most- people do not know what is and what is not illegal sexual harassment under California law. There is a very, very good reason for mandatory sexual harassment training; if nothing else it makes people think about the subject, and how they interact with their fellow employees. Had the City provided mandatory sexual harassment training to Mayor Filner, [former spokeswoman] Irene McCormack Jackson may never have brought her lawsuit.”

It's not his fault see, if anyone's responsible for him putting his female employees in headlocks, wanting them to work without panties on and asking when he'll get to see them naked, it's the city of San Diego's fault. You just can't make this up...

[tomder55]

Moving this to the proper op.

[speechlesstx]

Well, even Filner's excuse of blaming the city for not training him not to ask his female employees not to take their panties off for him is apparently a lie. His office canceled the training sessions.

Meanwhile the new rule that women may not meet with the mayor without a chaperone isn't going over too well with Melissa "tampon-ears" Harris-Perry. She finds it discriminatory... men can still meet with the mayor alone but not women.

Well, Ms. fashion queen of feminine hygiene products, you go meet with him alone first. Set the example.

You righties need an honest self examinations since you find everybody else's faults and none of your own. If you need my help, let me know and we can start with Vitters, and voting and go from there. Lot's of stuff in between.

Just like racial issues I see you're still not interested I having an honest discussion on this subject either.

[talaniman]

LOL, now you know how other races feel??

You have some really weird interpretative skills, like nowhere even in the ballpark of reality.

[talaniman]

A simple question, you obviously don't want to answer.

I've never given any indication I know how other races feel so there's nothing to answer. How you got from my desire to have "an honest discussion" to I "know how other races feel" is beyond me, you seem to have just pulled that one right out of your a$$.

But again, I understand why you guys don't want to discuss Democrats behaving badly.

[talaniman]

If you had said politician then that would be honest, but it's not honest saying others are flawed, and you are not.

[paraclete]

So now you think someoneelse doesn't get it, do you think, just perhaps, that the fault lies in your ability to express yourself

[speechlesstx]

The only politicians in the news for behaving badly at the moment are Democrats, noted champions of women's rights by Dems own admission, and you guys are conspicuously silent about it and throwing up distractions. That's not honest.

but it's not honest saying others are flawed, and you are not.

What? Again with pulling things out of your a$$ already? I'm the first to admit I'm flawed and so are our politicians. You make a mental note of that.

[NeedKarma]

I'm the first to admit I'm flawed and so are our politicians.

You're also the first to post about the activities of flawed politicians. Can we post about your flaws too?

[speechlesstx]

I didn't start this thread, that would make excon the first to post crap about others. You always seem confounded by the idea that we would respond to being attacked. Get over it.
