I’ve been having so much fun following the East Coast Democrats who are huge perverts, I haven’t really paid much attention to the ones on the West Coast.
Their MVP is San Diego Mayor Bob Filner, who sounds like a naughty, naughty boy indeed. Unlike Anthony Weiner, Filner does things the old-fashioned way: in person. And unlike Eliot Spitzer, the women Filner paws at aren’t willing participants. He’s worse than both of them put together!
Now I’ve got you thinking about Weiner and Spitzer put together. Sorry. Let’s move on. As Richard Thompson reports:
San Diego Mayor Bob Filner is certainly racking up the perv points: an eighth woman has come forward to accuse him of inappropriate sexual behavior.
Lisa Curtin, a San Diego City College official, claimed the self-proclaimed serial hugger made unwanted advances towards her back when he was a congressman in 2011.
Curtin told KPBS News that the mayor asked her to privately meet with him after a business meeting. When the two were alone, Filner apparently grabbed her hand and twisted her wedding ring, asking if it was real.
“He pulled my hand closer to him and he reached over to kiss me,” Curtin said. “I turned my head at that moment and on the side of my face, I got a very wet, saliva-filled kiss including feeling his tongue on my cheek.”
Charming! And how did Curtin report this assault?
She later alerted San Diego Sheriff’s Department on a hotline designed specifically to deal with alleged Filner victims.
That’s when you know you’re made it as a super-creep: your very own perv hotline.
So that’s eight women so far, and who knows how many others to go. It’s gotta be in the double digits, right?
But wait! It’s not his fault!
A lawyer for San Diego Mayor Bob Filner criticized the city for not providing sexual harassment training to the mayor, saying its failure to do so violated the law.
In a letter to the city attorney, Harvey Berger wrote that Filner might never have been sued for sexual harassment had he been properly trained.
“If there is any liability at all, the city will almost certainly be liable for ‘failing to prevent harassment,'” Berger wrote in a letter dated Monday and obtained Wednesday by CNN from City Attorney Jan Goldsmith.
Definitely. How else was Filner supposed to know not to grab a bunch of women and lick their faces? If somebody had just told him…
Don’t worry, though. Next week Filner is entering a “behavior counseling clinic for two weeks of intensive therapy,” which should fix everything right up. Let’s hope the nurses are ready for a lot of fun hugs!
I don’t know who to credit for this image, but I saw it over at Power Line and the resemblance is uncanny:
Batman vs. the Groper!
