Well, women at the capital can't all stick together, because, Cheri Jahn. Apparently the Third Way is straight up the keister of justice. If I believed in Hell, I’d have to think that there’d be a special place for those who enable predators.
And what about Ray Scott? Did he vote "aye" by mistake?
I always though Cheri Jahn was a piece of work.
Jahn is a piece of something. Not sure I'd say work….but she sure is a piece of something.
It's like she's trying to do the full Lieberman.
Excellent analogy
Ray Scott is scared shitless that Rep. Dan Thurlow is going to knock him off in the primary. So he's trying, really trying, not to act like the complete asshole he is all the time.
You answered the question I posted on another thread. Thanks!
I tried to watch Don Coram defending Baumgardner. The one in which he had zero sympathy for the women whose asses were grabbed and / or groped, but infinite compassion for the hypothetical feelings of Baumgardner's adult child, who would be so embarrassed if Baumgardner were accused that he or she might just die from it. Like he/she isn't embarrassed now.
It pissed me off too much – I couldn't finish watching it.
Remember in November.
As I read this, the resolution only dealt with one complainant, not all 3. Evidence presented was a traditional he said/she said scenario, with the witness admitting that on two occasions, she couldn't be sure who slapped her butt because she didn't turn around.
The testimony is convincing enough to get a report to say "Baumgardner was more likely than not" to have been the one to act, and sufficient reason (or enough of a justification) to push one vote away from an entirely partisan split.
What is clear is the process to resolve this is broken. Apparently, women can get slapped on the butt and no one notices. The Senate leadership requires evidence that would be sufficient in court. The leadership can undercut an independent report it commissioned with unsupported challenges. And the final vote must be a supermajority of Senators, when everyone realizes the body is split by a single vote.
It would (will?) be interesting to see what happens if the resolution was not for expulsion, but for censure.
Nah, the Senate Republicans would not vote to censure, either.
See, you gotta understand what their full intended message is: "We men (and the quota of two Republican women we allow in the State Senate) just view this all as fun and games, and entitlement. Sure, a few of us have even witnessed Baumgardner's behavior toward young women over the years, but it's all meant in fun. Can't you take a joke?! We've heard the same stories over the years that Baumgardner's been in the legislature. We all know it's true, but we don't want the weak public, and we especially don't want WOMEN to tell us what we can and can't do. Expelling, or even censuring, Baumgardner would set a terrible precedent. All of us men would be at risk of being caught in the same web. See, it's much better now. The pressure is off, no one's asking questions, and lazy old Baumgardner can continue drawing his paycheck, hanging out in the halls of the Capitol, and staying out of the way of the real work that is done here. And those gol durn young women can just stop dressin' the way they do, and they can just keep watchin' out for Baumgardner and the rest of us who just wanna have a little fun."
Hey Nutteranus!!!! How do you think Baumgartner's accusers feel about all this?
