Donald Trump:
“‘I’m automatically attracted to beautiful women,’ he told
NBC presenter Billy Bush. ‘I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just
kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star they let you do it. You can do
anything.. Grab them by the p***y. You can do anything.’”
Piers Morgan. Daily Mail, UK, October 10 2016:
“...Yet there was one huge problem: her husband Bill,
sitting just a few yards away in the front row.
The world knows him as a brilliant politician, but also as a
serial seducer of epic proportions who, while he was President of the United
States, even had sexual relations with a young intern in the Oval Office.
In comparison to Bill, many view Trump as a choirboy when it
comes to women.
Earlier last night, Trump hosted a press event with four
women: Juanita Broaddrick, Paula Jones, Kathleen Willey and Kathy Shelton.
Broaddrick claimed Bill Clinton raped her when he was
Arkansas attorney general, and that Hillary intimidated her into silence when
her husband launched his own bid to be president.
Willey was a former White House volunteer aide who alleges
Bill Clinton sexually assaulted her during his first term as president.
Jones is a former Arkansas state employee who sued Bill
Clinton for sexual harassment.
Shelton was a 12-year-old rape victim whose attacker was
defended by Hillary Clinton in her lawyer days. A tape later emerged showing
Hillary chuckling when talking about the case and suggesting she knew her
client was guilty. She used a legal technicality to get him a substantially
reduced sentence....”
Gideon Rachman, FT, October 11 2016:
“...And for all his flaws, no one doubted that Nixon had the
experience and the intelligence to be president.
By contrast, Mr Trump is manifestly unqualified and has
thrown the US system into confusion, leaving the press and the Republican party
floundering. The fact that more than 40 per cent of Americans, and a majority
of whites, are probably going to vote for him suggests that the US is in deep
trouble. We can, by now, all list the ingredients that have helped create this
sickness — economic stagnation, inequality, illegal immigration, the rise of
social media — but the outcome threatens the prestige of democracy worldwide.
If Mrs Clinton makes it to the White House there will be
relief across the west and a certain disappointment in Moscow and, perhaps,
Beijing. But it will be very hard to erase the memory of this campaign. It has
presented an image of a troubled, divided and deluded US to the rest of the
world. As a result, it has already dealt a serious blow to the prestige and
power of the west.”
I wrote a post on Mr. Arnold Schwarzenegger on May 16 2011 here.
PTI / The Times of India on May 11 2011:
"One of America's most high profile couples, former
California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and wife Maria Shriver, have
announced their separation after 25 years of marriage...During the 2003 elections to elect the next governor of
California, reports surfaced about Schwarzenegger's lengthy history of groping
women. At the time, Shriver defended her husband, helping him to
victory..."
My post carried the following brilliant (and naughty) cartoon by Mike Luckovich:
Now Mr. Luckovich comes up with the following one:
