A former Republican candidate for state Senate in Maine has joined the ranks of women calling out President George HW Bush for allegedly groping them, bringing the number of accusers to four.

Amanda Staples told the Portland Press Herald in Maine that she was groped by Bush in 2006 in Kennebunkport.

Earlier thus week, Bush's spokesperson blamed the awkward positioning of his arm while posing for photos on his being wheelchair-bound, but in Staples' picture from 2006, he is seen standing.

11 years ago and the woman is a Republican from Maine.  The problem here, is that we may be looking at more than just a 90 year old man having done this.

The real question is "Why this 90 year-old man?"

Because the media needs 2 things : "Everyone does it" and "It's no big deal".

This problem could tear Hollywood apart if they don't get control of the narrative. I bet they are spending millions trying to get this issue contained.

Its pretty transparent. But I do not believe the media rodents understand just how the public is reacting to these charges.

If Bush was doing this ten years ago, I'm back to "no excuse" for him.  He wasn't senile then and he didn't have Parkinson's. 

I saw a link to a video of him patting Teri Hatcher's butt, but I don't care enough to watch it.

Are you really THAT bored, Tom.  Why don't you watch some Larry, Curly and Moe reruns?

You don't even wonder why all these 'ladies' suddenly remembered their butts getting patted?

Hollywood is imploding with scandal and this is what's important.

I don't believe it, by the way.

Did you look at the article and the photos where you could clearly see where his hand was? Did you watch the video of him and Hatcher? There was no mistaking what he was doing. He is a dirty old man and I wonder how many years he has been doing this. Why are they talking about it now? Because of the Weinstein stuff. It's now the in thing of the moment to talk about this stuff and say "Me too". Doesn't mean it didn't happen. Funny how they all tell the same story. Every one of them has mentioned the Cop-a-feel joke. And it seems his wife is fully aware of what he is doing.

You may not want to believe it. I didn't either but the photos and video don't lie.

If he can't keep his hands to himself they need to keep him at home.

If it happened and if you say it's so bad, then you probably haven't read the stories about Weinstein, other Hollywood moguls and our beloved ex-President who loved to say, "kiss it."

Let's try to stay sane about this.

Me, too.  And I wouldn't be at all surprised if a semi-secret bounty has been posted trying to get women to come forward and claim anything about any Republican or conservative to try to advance that 'everybody does it' meme.

It ain't gonna fly.  Everybody doesn't do it.

George H.W. Bush's butt may have been pat worthy back in the day.

But, hey, we all get older and some of us make 90.

Someone posted the Linda Chavez op-ed in the editorial section yesterday, it was very good. One of the comments mentions some sort of "Franklin Coverup", that's strange stuff. I don't know if it is true or not but anyone can look it up. It ranged from Local to Federal Government.

The Bushes have admitted to this behavior.

Those articles have been posted too.

Yep.

It all comes down to the fact that leftists are liars who feel they have to smear the good guys as they circle the wagons around their perverse pals in Hollywood.

Nonsense.
Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

It certainly is no problem to hear how great these people are.  I didn't know it was all suppose to go in one direction.

   If only Reggie Love would come forward it would provide definitive proof that sexual harassment is a given in a US President.

                              Remember this?
No government in the 12,000 years of modern mankind history has led its people into anything but the history books with a simple lesson, don't let this happen to you.
