#1 Hot Air:
Gosh, I sure hope we don’t come to find out that Conyers’s behavior with women staffers has been an open secret on the Hill for decades and that his friend Nancy has heard the rumors for 30 years. What a legacy that would be for her, petrified to use her authority as Democratic leader to purge the gropers in her ranks. As a Twitter pal notes, this is smoking-gun proof that the recent left-wing navel-gazing over whether Bill Clinton should have resigned 20 years ago is cynical nonsense. Faced with credible allegations against a much less powerful Democrat in Conyers, one who’s waaaaaay past the age at which he should have retired and who’s also been accused of having lost some of his mental capacity, the leader of the caucus whiffs on demanding that he step down. And worse than that, she cites his “icon” status as a point in his favor. Clinton, Conyers, and basically every male member of the Kennedy family, living or dead, would smile at that. It may be the single creepiest thing she’s ever said in public life.

#5 "We are strengthened by due process. Just because someone is accused - and was it one accusation? Is it two?"

#8 He's not an icon to me.

And is Pee Lousy suggesting only "icons" get due process?

I guess the dirt people are SOL.

You want something a lot nastier than Trump? Because this is how you get something a lot nastier than Trump.

The face of Our Lady
Grows slightly less shady,
Revealing... a Black Casanova!
