3. Lighten up about having someone grab your ass because he's old and in a wheelchair what the fuck

4. I read his apology is in acknowledgment that it happened

5. If Jimmy Carter had done this, Republicans would seek to retroactively strip him of his presidency

6. Yes, lighten up lady, enjoying being grabbed at

She should be grateful that such a powerful old white man gave her the time of day!

I look forward to more of your words of wisdom in the coming days.

2. So I can now grab a woman inappropriately, and then claim that it was

a "failed attempt at humor"??

UGH. Clearly, we have a LONG way to go as far as sexual harassment and even assault.

7. I'm sure that it was a mistake. He meant to grab her sister.

[Not Ruth]

8. Viagra is a hell of a drug

9. I would suggest privilege is even stronger than any pill.

10. Apparently old men in wheelchairs have a penchant for grabass.

So I hear from people who work in nursing homes and other similar facilities. As the mind fades, so do inhibitions, apparently.

I suspect most instances go unreported by those whose asses are grabbed, too. Instead, they probably stay out of reach as much as possible. I know this: Caregivers in facilities that deal with elder folks with health issues are not adequately paid.
