George HW Bush apologizes after 'sexual assault' allegation
http://www.foxnews.com/politic...ault-allegation.html

Former President George H.W. Bush has apologized after actress Heather Lind accused him of sexually assaulting her during a screening of her AMC show.

The alleged incident occurred four years ago, as Lind posed for a photo with Bush while promoting the AMC show “Turn: Washington's Spies,” the Daily Mail reported.

Lind wrote on Instagram Tuesday that Bush "sexually assaulted" her. She said he touched her “from behind from his wheelchair with his wife Barbara Bush by his side,” told her a “dirty joke,” and then touched her again.


Lind claimed that Barbara Bush “rolled her eyes” at Bush, “as if to say ‘not again.’”

According to the post, which has since been deleted, a nearby security guard told Lind that she “shouldn’t have stood next to him for the photo.”
A representative for Bush, now 93, said that the former president might have erred in his “attempt at humor.”

“President Bush would never — under any circumstance — intentionally cause anyone distress, and he most sincerely apologizes if his attempt at humor offended Ms. Lind," the Bush spokesman said in a statement to Fox News.

She played the character Anna Strong in Turn: Washington's Spies. She's a looker...

There's no way I'll be able to find the footage, but during Obama's inauguration, H.W. was entering the ceremony (being assisted). There was a dress Marine standing next to him. H.W. reached out.

I turned to my Wife and asked "Did H.W. just grab ass that Marine?"

He did, and smiled mischievously.

It was perfectly clear that it was a joke and he was trying to break the Marine's concentration (he did not).

We thought it was pretty funny.

Calling that sexual assault demeans those who have actually been sexually assaulted. It takes a sick, self absorbed person to accuse a 93 year old in a wheelchair in public of sexual assault.

You gotta "Y" chromosome?

Yep, you're guilty of sexual assault. It's the new "thang".

Bush thought that he could get get by with no outcome. The old man was busted!

Barbara Bush didn't do anything.

One wonders if this has happened before?

Yeah, that's what happened, and not some senile old man in a wheelchair. It was all planned.

Man, they didn't even have to encourage you. You jumped right on to that leftist train, enthusiastically.

You're being played. You're approaching this precisely as the left wants you to. They're leading you around by the nose.

Hey, who can blame her, other actresses are cashing in on sexual harassment claims.

Someone has to tell her she has the wrong "H.W.".

Who the hell cares?

If you can't handle a playful pat in the ass from an old guy in a wheel chair then you got problems. Eek

It is something that you have no control over when you get older and your brain acts out evil thoughts that you normally wouldn't do. Maybe we should call it TRUTH or CONSEQUENCES. Big Grin Big Grin

No shit. There was absolutely zero chance of this "assault" going beyond the pat on the butt. ZERO. He's an old man.

Let's review the bidding:

100 year old guy in front of his 100 year old wife and in public at that, makes a lame and reportedly off color joke to aspiring victim who now discovers she's troubled.

Girl needs to up her game; no cigar sweety.

My Dad,who was assuredly not prone to this kind of behavior, used to call that "gooseing".
That is an old term, and had not thought of it in years, but I believe that is what happened here.
Fairly harmless, considering his age and physical condition.

Hell, by the time my grandfather was that age (and suffering from dementia), we couldn't take him out to dinner w/o watching out carefully for the female servers. If they got to close, they were going to get pinched. If we weren't quick enough, he'd try to get up and chase them.

Nobody ever pressed charges.

What all these "accusers" have managed to do is to make me not give a fuck if some woman gets her tit grabbed. Oh, you were "sexually assualted" because a 90-something year old man in a wheel chair pinched your ass?

Fuck you. I say with all sincerity, I do not care, and fuck you, mmkay?

That's not assault, you pissing little child.

Go ahead and cry 'Wolf' some more, you bunch of whining children. It doesn't matter now, because I no longer take ANY OF IT seriousy. Not one single speck do I believe, nor do I care.

Bill Clinton's going around and sticking his dick in women's faces and the left treats him like a god.
