[POLITICO] A ninth woman came has accused San Diego Mayor Bob Filner of sexual harassment, according to a report out Thursday.
Emily Gilbert told Fox 5 San Diego that the 70-year-old Democrat harassed her at a fundraiser where she was hired to sing in December.
"He grabbed me a little too tight, then proceeded to slide his hand down my arm and then did a little grab on my derriere," Gilbert said. "I didn't want to make a scene there were kids around."
She told Fox 5 she tried to laugh it off, but was embarrassed by the crude behavior.
Gilbert's husband said he felt helpless at the time.
"What was I going to do, he's the mayor," said Jason Gilbert.
Punch his lights out?
He called on the mayor to resign and donate to a causes that help women.
"We don't want any money, but we think the mayor should make a donation to a woman's cause," Jason Gilbert said. "Actions speak louder then words. He needs to resign."
Mr. Gilbert is a Nancy-boy.
He's a Democrat.

San Diego Mayor Bob Filner Hires William J. Clinton As Advisor on Sexual Harassment Charges
[WASHINGTONTIMES] House Republicans on Friday accused Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew of obstructing their investigation into the IRS's targeting of tea party and conservative groups, and issued subpoenas for more agency documents.
Oversight committee chairman Darrell Issa, Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, Republican, sent a scathing latter to Mr. Lew blasting him and President B.O. for dismissing the GOP's claims about IRS targeting as a "phony" scandal, saying that Mr. Lew has "attempted to thwart" his investigation.
"Over two months since the committee first requested documents, the IRS has produced only a small fraction of responsive documents," Mr. Issa said.
Mr. Issa said he's willing to work with the agency to tailor his requests for information, but he said the IRS has unilaterally decided to revise the scope of its search of documents. The committee had asked for 81 search terms to be used to identify responsive documents, but the IRS cut that to 12, he said.
In a response sent Friday to an earlier accusation by Mr. Issa and Rep. Jim Jordan, a subcommittee chairman who is also heading the investigation, the IRS bristles at accusations it was stonewalling.
Daniel Werfel, the acting commissioner President B.O. tapped to lead the agency, said they are working as fast as they can to produce materials, including having detailed 70 of the agency's 1,600 lawyers to work full time on reviewing documents to see what can be turned over.
"These attorneys have ramped up from training to full-time review work over the course of the last four weeks and are now fully engaged on this project," Mr. Werfel wrote.
He also defended the agency's move to cut out some of the search terms the committee requested, saying that words such as "c3" and "election" are "generic and non-specific" and are used in many tax issues the agency handles.
Also Friday, the House voted 232-185 to strip the Treasury Department and IRS of being able to enforce the new health care law. The vote saw just four Democrats side with Republicans in trying to scrap the IRS's role.
The Senate is unlikely to consider the bill.

"To see what can be turned over".
ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING, and hurry up.
Delaying will result in prosecution.

Yeah, and how's that contempt of Congress thingy with Holder working while you're at it?
Noise, all noise. Just. About. Given. Up.
[MYFOXDC] They say there's no such thing as bad publicity.
So maybe New York's Anthony Carlos Danger Weiner ...aka Hot Dog Tony, the remarkably offensive sex maniac six-term New York congressman who resigned in 2011, then decided everybody had forgotten by 2013, when he decided to run for mayor of New York City... has a future in Virginia.
The Richmond Flying Squirrels, a minor league baseball team, held a "Salute to Scandal" night during which they sold $1 hot dogs to poke fun at the mayoral candidate with a sexting problem.
"I may move to New York so I can vote for Anthony Weiner," said a fan.
"We have 70's night, 80's night, movie night, sitcom night. Tonight is scandal night where we're just saying look at what these people have done and hope we get some chuckles along the way," said Todd "Parney" Parnell, the CEO of the Richmond Flying Squirrels.

Getting some value out of a bad joke. I do wonder if Weiner is a red herring, or if he's an idiot to think New Yorkers are idiots, or if he's right and New Yorkers really are idiots.

Anthony Weiner, with apologies to Winston Churchill: a ridiculous, unwrapped in a mystery, inside a fishbowl and yet, somehow, still a somewhat viable candidate.
If we have not yet reached bottom, we must surely be close...(?)
[FOXNEWS] Government workers in the city of Seattle have been advised that the terms "citizen" and "brown bag" are potentially offensive and may no longer be used in official documents and discussions.
KOMO-TV reports that the city's Office of Civil Rights instructed city workers in a recent internal memo to avoid using the words because some may find them offensive.
"Luckily, we've got options," Elliott Bronstein of the Office for Civil Rights wrote in the memo obtained by the station. "For 'citizens,' how about 'residents?'"
In an interview with Seattle's KIRO Radio, Bronstein said the term "brown bag" has been used historically as a way to judge skin color.
"For a lot of particularly African-American community members, the phrase brown bag does bring up associations with the past when a brown bag was actually used, I understand, to determine if people's skin color was light enough to allow admission to an event or to come into a party that was being held in a private home," Bronstein said.
According to the memo, city employees should use the terms "lunch-and-learn" or "sack lunch" instead of "brown bag."
Bronstein told KIRO Radio the word "citizen" should be avoided because many people who live in Seattle are residents, not citizens.

1. Remember like the clowns in Detroit, the voters put these people into office.
2. If we're not 'citizens' we don't owe each other anything - that includes the pledge not only of resources, but of life and liberty. Don't call on citizens elsewhere to risk theirs to save yours.
[LIVEWIRE.TALKINGPOINTSMEMO] In an interview with the Daily Beast published Friday, Rep. Charlie Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Rangel Congressman-for-Life from Harlem, who became what 20 terms in Congress turns you into ... (D-NY) suggested Tea Partiers are the "same group" who fought for segregation during the Civil Rights movement.
"It is the same group we faced in the South with those white crackers and the dogs and the police. They didn't care about how they looked," Rangel said.
Bull Connor was a member of the Democratic National Committee. So were his German Shepherds...
Because of this, Rangel said the Tea Party could be defeated using the same tactics employed against Jim Crow.
"It was just fierce indifference to human life that caused America to say enough is enough. 'I don't want to see it and I am not a part of it.' What the hell! If you have to bomb little kids and send dogs out against human beings, give me a break," said Rangel.

Actually, he's all for the new socialist Plantation system where those who actually create value are 'relieved' of the products and resources of their labor for those up in the Plantation House and those who are so favored by the masters.

Not really a problem, as he is an "Hispanic Black" (His father, Ralph Rangel, was from Puerto Rico) and can, therefore, say stupid things without consideration of recrimination....
I am, btw, loving this latest evolution of hyphenated America and the enhanced possibilities of bringing the country together that it presents...! /sarc

White Cracker is racial slur. Is this acceptable as a new rule of political speech? There are other racial slurs that politicians avoid using due to being offensive to certain segments of society.
Is Mr Rangel opening that door? Inquiring amateur pundits would like to know.
#10
The so-called "White Crackers" who fought civil rights were Democrats Charlie. Get your history straight instead of revising it. Shame on you, you know better.
#13
White cracker, in the mouth of the honourable Congressman Rangel, is a double racial slur. He himself, however, is an extremely successful political idiot.

I've had a home of record below the MD for decades. I don't believe I've ever heard that term in rural Georgia conversation. Can't remember the last time I heard the feared "n-word" either. Must be a northern, urban, New Yorker thing.
