Cokie Roberts: Every Woman in the Press Corps Knew to Never Get In an Elevator Alone with John Conyers

Okay -- then why was this concealed for years?

Although the CBC is pressuring Conyers to resign, supposedly, he ain't goin' anywhere. Probably mostly because his brain has turned to pudding and he can no longer find his way out of his offices.

Update: While he won't resign, apparently this deranged old scumbag has been pressured into the compromise of not seeking re-election.

Meanwhile, Democrats continue rallying around the decrepit coot who likes walking around in his droopy underwear. Nancy Pelosi said that he's not going to be asked to resign because he's an "icon" -- to Democrats:

"We are strengthened by due process. Just because someone is accused -- and was it one accusation? Is it two?" Pelosi said. "John Conyers is an icon in our country," and finally, "He has done a great deal to protect women."

BTW, the number of women accusing the doddering old pervert Conyers is five, not two.

And, when asked about private sector people being fired much, much faster than Conyers -- who isn't resigning or being expelled -- CBC member Jim Clyburn asked, regarding private sector people, "Who voted for them?"

In other words: You shouldn't resign or be expelled because people voted for you. As an elected official, you have more latitude to sexually harass people, not less, compared to mere private sector CEOs and producers and anchors and such.

Rep. Linda Sanders also made a similar case: She thinks Congressmolesters are being held to too high a standard.

The Daily Caller reports this is provoking a bit of a war in the Democrat party, with the old guard wanting to keep the Shush Funds alive and the molesters in office, and mostly younger SJW types wanting the party to (giggle) actually patrol its own for the sins it accuses others of.

That's just silly, that's what that is.

One Representative, Kathleen Rice, left a congressional meeting on sexual harassment, which one might suspect was really about how to cover up sexual harassment, early, quipping "I don't have time for meetings that aren't real."

She's also calling for an end to the gag order on sexual harassment payouts from Congress:

"The accuser who attempted to seek help through a deeply flawed system should not continue to be silenced by the institution that failed to protect her in the first place," Rice said in a letter to Ryan.

You probably will not be surprised to hear that the Democrats' nuanced stance on sexual misconduct -- supposedly a "zero tolerance" stance, but with lots and lots of tolerance for fellow Democrats -- is partly fueling a resurgence by Roy Moore, whose supporters probably think, "Why should I be the only chump who takes this shit seriously?"

One last little bit from @TheLastBigNurse. It's about Matt Lauer. I just can't quit him.

Oh, and this is not real, but still, funny.

And this too:
