June 25: The best thing I've read this week

I've been absent for a month, but since no one is knocking down the door about that, I'm going to roll along. Two days ago, I read this harrowing story of the sexual assaults suffered by advice columnist Jean E. Carroll. The most brutal of those "assaults" is a rape she says was committed by the sitting U.S. President. 

This essay is powerful, devastating, disgusting, scary and, ultimately, sad. 

My political leanings are no secret -- I'm a liberal democrat and I vote that way. I never in a million years thought a former reality TV host with a history of bankruptcies, public adulteries and divorces and crass comments on regular visits to a crass radio show (The Howard Stern Show)  would be the leader of my country. 

Carroll is the 22nd woman to accuse him of a range of unwanted sexual advances. This accusation is the most brutal and, as hard as it is to read, the best thing I've read this week.

She went shopping for a gift for his then wife. She went shopping in the lingerie department for a gift for his then wife. He asked her to try something on. PLEASE STOP THE INSANITY. Why would a sane woman do this if she didn't feel an attraction to this idiot? Women wanting some kind of notoriety or a gossip tag would do this.
