Truly said. It is well to remember that if Clarence Thomas looked like Denzell Washington, we'd never have heard of Anita Hill.
Usually there is a clear pattern, these perverts don't work in a vacuum or on a single target, and the woman come out of the woodwork to complain of sexual harrasment - Bill Cosby, Wienstien, Bill Clinton, all had a well documented history of harrasment....but Bush? This is the first instance I heard of such misbehavior thus I think we can safely say it was an exception, maybe due to him simply losing his wits in old age.
And Clarence Thomas....one again no pattern there, no other woman came out to claim sexual harassment as you would expect, and we can safely say that Anita Hill was, to be blunt, a flat out liar. In fact, at that time, I remember during the hearings a string of women were brought out from his office and said that not once did he engage in any harassing behavior.

Oh please. Look how the woman was skewered when she came out. Do you not see why other women don't want to come forward?
George H.W. Bush knew what he was doing. The fact that he is old and wheelchair-bound (and not a physical threat) doesn't excuse his behavior. If you notice, he doesn't put his hands on the backside of the men who are posing for pictures with him. Moreover, the things he's alleged to say before "moving in" show a perverted state of mind. The next time that Bush 43 opens up his mouth to criticize President Trump after refusing to criticize Barack Hussein Obama, I hope everyone tells him that he should be monitoring his father to stop his sexual assaults instead.
So basically, "the women should let it go", "it isn't really sexual assault", "he's old", "boys will be boys".
Same old excused for people not keeping their hands to themselves. Some things never change.
Older people do lose their filter and can do or say things they never would have done when they were younger. Certain diseases and medical events can damage that filler in the brain more than others like having a TIA. I do think in Bush's case, these two women should let it go and his family should keep a closer eye on him to prevent it from happening again. There has been nothing to suggest this behavior has been long standing.

Anita Hill? It became part of politics, as the Bill Clinton claims were. She was a liar, that's clear. Bill Clinton accusers were not liars, that's also clear, and were also skewered. Let's put our sympathies with those that have legitimate harassment claims. Anita Hill deserves no sympathy.
This lady that Bush grabbed butt should not be skewered (she was one of the best features of the TV show "Turn"), of course not, and we must assume she was legitimately offended, but we also need to put it into perspective. Bush is no Bill Clinton or Bill Cosby.

If you think Anita Hill was lying, was Angela Wright also a liar. She was subpoenaed and waiting in a hotel room to testify. She was never called because of concerns that she had been fired by Thomas. She and Anita Hill did not know each other, but the story was the same.
