    Not at all comfortable with him advising campaigns on how to handle various crisis, but I suppose it's better we at least know that now.

    GHWB's shtick seems a little too habitual to be blamed on senility.

    My grandfather used to play the horny old man all the time, but it was all talk and awful jokes. He was as old-school as they come, and he never grabbed anyone's ass.

    I don’t doubt it. As, or more, mortifying is the thought of doing such myself someday (a long time from now, hopefully). You could be a paragon of virtue (as am I, of course), but when those norms and filters wither ...

    That's how it seems to me too.

    I'm sure he had convinced himself it was funny, but someone -- even his wife -- should have told him to keep his hands to himself.

    I’d wager she and others have told him that many, many times.

    "David Cop-A-Feel" is an all-timer Dad joke, though.

    Interesting article. I didn't know anything about his background.

    My favorite part though might be the news that Kathy Griffin's mom is a FOX news lover. His elephant stuff is cute, and I'll be interested to see what he writes about Scientology.

    She's has quite the last 18 months.

    She was the lawyer (instigator) for the then 13-year-old girl who was prepared to accuse Trump of rape, but that story fell apart.

    She was Kathy Griffin's lawyer, though they had a recent and public breakup.

    Kathy Griffin and Lisa Bloom take the gloves off for a public war of words

    And, the whole Harvey Weinstein case, which goes against everything she has advocated for previously. She must have really wanted her book to be turned into a miniseries.
