My question for you, Sen. Grassley ---

It happened almost fifty years ago.

“What did you do to provoke him?” That was the first question the police asked.

As I sat there in my torn and blood-splattered clothes the second question was, “What were you wearing?”


My question for you, Sen. Grassley: By any chance were you one of those police officers?

that came to mind that republicans will start asking. Then things like, "Were you drinking too?" And of course, "Why didn't you say something then?" Perhaps followed by, "A lot of people do dumb things when they're young, why did you go in to that room with them?"

Sons of bitches!

Too many of us that have experienced sexual molestation, sexual abuse, and rape will not let this pass. Chuck Grassley and the rest of the "old men" on the panel and in Congress had better get use to the fact this is a different era and the old status quo is no longer going to work for them.
