The Progressives defended Bill Clinton’s indiscretion with Monica Lewinsky loud and obnoxiously. They claimed personal behavior doesn’t reflect job performance. Whenever proof of Billy Boy’s sexual assault of women like Juanita Broadrick or Kathleen Wiley, Paula Jones or Gennifer Flowers was presented the Left would say it didn’t matter. The American public agreed. Bill Clinton left office with a 66% approval rating after everything was known about him. In fact during the Monica scandal Clinton’s approval went up! So the Left won that argument.

Fast forward 11 years after Bill Clinton left office and now allegations of sexual misconduct matter. Herman Cain was accused falsely of sexual inappropriateness by two women back in the 90’s when he headed the National Restaurant Association.. He was cleared of any wrongdoing and a settlement was reach with the accusers. The Progressives now all of a sudden care about sexual harassment. This is hypocrisy. They spent eight years defending Bill Clinton from accusations but all of a sudden they care about sexually inappropriate behavior.

Let’s take a look at what our old pal washed up Jazz Guitarist and failed blogger, Charles Johnson, has to say.

So there are no cases of rich powerful connect Left Wing politicians using women as chattel? Does Bill Clinton, Ted Kennedy, Barney Frank ring a bell? Not in the fantasy world of Chuck and his magical pony tail.

To play devil’s advocate let’s assume Herman Cain did something sexually inappropriate. So what! I thought it was settled that being a sexual predator doesn’t matter anymore. That’s what the Progressives and the American public agreed upon. Why does it matter what Herman Cain was accused of doing?

Let’s discuss this hypocrisy.

There’s a moment in history that I wouldn’t have missed had I been given a few hour’s advance notice: Koko interviews (the late) Mr. Rogers. (Koko met other celebrities as well, including The Shatner, and she groped him.)

Koko, as you might recall, was born in captivity in the San Francisco Zoo in 1971, and was taught Ameslan, American Sign Language. She has a vocabulary of around 1,000 words/signs, and is the only simian to ever be involved in a sexual harassment lawsuit.

According to Wiki, she refers to people as “nipples” and pressured female attendents to remove their shirts and underclothing. Koko is also the only gorilla to retain a lawyer –I would love to find out how she chose one– and the lawsuit was settled in 2005.

Not sure how much Koko had to pay, or where the money came from since she hasn’t held a job for all of her 39 years.  Regardless, if I ever meet Koko I’ll ask her about Ameslan and how to sign “It’s time now for The Overnight Open Thread.”
