Good grief! Journalist/pundit David Brooks whines: I sat next to a Republican senator once at dinner and he had his hand on my inner thigh the whole time. David, David... don't tell me you're really this stupid. It's not like he's your employer and can make your life miserable if you rebuff him. The only reason he had his hand on you all evening is because you let him. What a victim you are! Just off the top of my head I can think of a number of ways you could've assured his hand wouldn't have spent more than five...

"Maggie, I was trying to be nice"

Argent is rather droll when he's on familiar ground...

Maggie, I was trying to be nice and not make it a matter of sexual preference. But really, the only reason someone lets something like that go on so long is because gropee likes it--and the groper thus continues because he's been given implicit permission. So to then use it as an example of someone being inappropriate (though it is) is really ridiculous.

Argent, love your comment! As to whether a closeted senator grabbed him, I suppose it's perfectly possible. That it happened as he described it is either risible or reflects poorly on him.

Yes Bill, his rolling on the floor was accompanied by clutching and moans of excruciating pain. But like I said, he was warned. :P Agreement with you about Navy ships. *sigh* They're even naming submarines after live politicians these days. Loved the story, though! And Frank? Talk about lack of quality. *shiver*

I mean, gad, it's almost like they're putting up posts about bayonetting themselves and such.

One difference: I don't think Brooks intended to cause people to laugh at him. ;)

Argent, your last is pure gold! ROFL

It's the mirror effect John. The more our news is 24 hours everything available the less actual news we get.

What the piece needs is yet more commentary from experts in the field. I Argent specialist journalist from the Centre for Researched Research and acclaimed Man to Man Advisor with years of experience in all sorts of obscure positions, would be happy to weigh in on the need for proper groping protocol, provided they promote my new book Hands in Pubic Places. I will necessarily emphasise the need not to be used as a glove in case Republicans expect political favours. Democrats of course get the favours for free. Joining me could be our expert at assertiveness trainer Fuzzy who will demostrate a kneed for the advanced 'please don't' technique on all prospective crutch explorers. Following up would be John who is touting the advantages of sisal rope in low impact collisions, which will also need at least 4 days of intense expert analysis.

Maggie "perks" up if you just mention her name, Chief. Yer safe.

As for the "journalism" represented in that article... just more evidence of the destuctive nature of the narcisstic "all news alla time" media beast destroying the fabric of civilised (that spelling's for Argent) life and discourse.

I mean, gad, it's almost like they're putting up posts about bayonetting themselves and such.

I overheard the following in the O' Club at Mother Rucker in '90: "They named a building after the last guy who grabbed my leg..."

For the newbies, the Army names buildings in honor of *deceased* individuals.

Unlike the Navy, which names ships in honor of *living* politicians...

*nipping for the bunker before Maggie and FbL start stirring*

...he ended up rolling on the floor ..

Well, you tell some funny stories. *I* even got a chuckle when you told 'the one where you met the ==

Oh. *That* kind of rolling on the floor.

Never mind.

I mean really. There's quality control dammit.

And Brooks was probably miffed he hadn't been seated next to Barney Frank...

If he did tell the truth that Senator is desparate. I mean really. There's quality control dammit.

LOL! He couldn't do #4 because everyone would have seen the evidence of how much he liked it.

One of the bonuses of being a woman - it's not so easy to tell when I'm excited to have been groped.....although the Chief can always tell.
