Clintons Mock Trump's Lewd Conversation from 2005

Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 9 Oct 2016 | John Semmens 

A Washington Post story about a lewd conversation between Donald Trump and Billy Bush of "Access Hollywood" in 2005 was viewed with scorn and derision by both Bill and Hillary Clinton.
Bill homed in on Trump's description of his attempt to seduce a woman by offering to buy her furniture. "What kind of a loser has to stoop so low to garner the attentions of a woman?" he asked. "On top of that Trump admits that he failed to achieve his objective. Kissinger was the one who had it right—power is the ultimate aphrodisiac. Maybe if Trump had been a governor or president he would've had better luck."
Hillary cited the crude talk as "further proof of his unfitness to be president. Anyone who's view of women is so crass and disrespectful doesn't belong in the Oval Office." Hillary dismissed suggestions that Trump's attitudes might resemble her husband's, saying "for the record, Bill has neither been convicted or even indicted for inappropriate behavior toward women," and alleged that "the women who accused him have all been discredited. That's why you won't see the media repeating their lies."
There might be some technical validity to Hillary's contentions. After all, Bill was never indicted. He was impeached by the House of Representatives for perjury rather than for inappropriate behavior toward women. Though he was not convicted by the Senate he was stripped of his license to practice law. And the mainstream media, which has openly veered from journalistic ethics to try to ensure another Clinton presidency, has steadfastly neglected to pursue the testimony of the many women claiming they were physically molested, or worse, by Bill.
Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo) defended the Clintons, claiming that "the good they both have done on the political front for women by ensuring that abortions remain freely available outweighs whatever either of them may have done to harm them on a more personal level. Even the high estimates of the number of women fondled or assaulted by Bill and the number whose reputations were smeared by Hillary only amounts to a few dozen individuals. Against this small negative number millions of women have been aided in terminating unwanted pregnancies thanks to the tireless efforts of the Clintons against those seeking to limit this vital women's right."
To date, the worst that can be said of Trump his that his words have sometimes been unkind toward women. No women have come forward with anything stronger than to say "he called me fat" or "he said I was ugly." The question is whether Trump's words are worse than Bill's actions or Hillary's efforts to trash the reputations of his accusers. Perhaps voters will render a verdict on this come November.
