George Bush Senior apology to Heather Lind after sex assault claim

George Bush Sr Issues Appology
-------
I was disturbed today by a photo I saw of President Barack Obama shaking hands with George H. W. Bush in a gathering of ex-presidents organizing aid to states and territories damaged by recent hurricanes. I found it disturbing because I recognize the respect ex-presidents are given for having served. And I feel pride and reverence toward many of the men in the photo. But when I got the chance to meet George H. W. Bush four years ago to promote a historical television show I was working on, he sexually assaulted me while I was posing for a similar photo. He didn’t shake my hand. He touched me from behind from his wheelchair with his wife Barbara Bush by his side. He told me a dirty joke. And then, all the while being photographed, touched me again. Barbara rolled her eyes as if to say “not again”. His security guard told me I shouldn’t have stood next to him for the photo. We were instructed to call him Mr. President. It seems to me a President’s power is in his or her capacity to enact positive change, actually help people, and serve as a symbol of our democracy. He relinquished that power when he used it against me and, judging from the comments of those around him, countless other women before me. What comforts me is that I too can use my power, which isn’t so different from a President really. I can enact positive change. I can actually help people. I can be a symbol of my democracy. I can refuse to call him President, and call out other abuses of power when I see them. I can vote for a President, in part, by the nature of his or her character, knowing that his or her political decisions must necessarily stem from that character. My fellow cast-mates and producers helped me that day and continue to support me. I am grateful for the bravery of other women who have spoken up and written about their experiences. And I thank President Barack Obama for the gesture of respect he made toward George H. W. Bush for the sake of our country, but I do not respect him.

I have had interactions with elderly people that say and do things they would not have when they were younger. It is sad. I would not let my kids around them, but I understand they are not themselves-dementia, medication etc.

I'm not sure I believe most of that.

So basically anything can be called sexual assault now?

The man is ninty-fricking-three. By these standards, I was sexually assaulted by old women every time I went to go visit my great grandmother in the nursing home.

This is from the Onion, right?

Good for her...I have never heard of her before this "scandal." She has gotten her name out there like she had hoped to do.

To any compassionate person who understands either the elderly in general or the fundamental decency of George HW Bush specifically, she comes off as an insufferable and uncompassionate twit.

Touched her where? Like squeezed her arse? Or put his hand on her back while taking a picture?

The Bushes are known for caving to media pressures, unlike another President I know...

Usually attention-seeking whores are somewhat famous. Who is this person again?

This. It's getting out of control.

She also has an identical twin sister, who is also an actress.
