A title like that and it's not even a story about Bill Clinton...
Christopher Buckley may have gone up a few notches in the world in the eyes of some liberals, what after the heir of the conservative intelligentsia thumbed his nose at the party, endorsed Obama, and started writing snarky copy for the slightly more left-leaning Daily Beast.
But he's still got it in with the crotchety ol' patriarch crowd, and evidently thinks it's funny that our 41st President, Bush Sr., took time to sexually harass a female member of the armed services on Obama's inauguration day:
Did you notice that he winked and grinned and lightly whacked the young military woman standing ceremonial guard in the hallway? That’s George Bush: kind, gentle, and frisky, even in his dotage. She’ll be telling her grandchildren that the 41st president of the United States whacked her in the tummy the day Barack Obama was sworn in.Let old men be old men and sexism and total disregard for the women serving this country abound! Ugh. Perhaps it's time to shoo Buckley back to his side of the sandbox.
As for the offender, the former president, old age is no justification. Your son had control over that woman's life (and so many like her) for the past eight years because she decided to subject herself to rigorous training to protect and defend her country. She deserves a salute, sir, just like every soldier deserves from his or her commander-in-chief, whackable tummy or no.

I find him a little bit skeevy! Like, he made that big stink about being asked to leave the National Review bc he supported Obama;, but then I saw him say on the Daily Show that he fabricated that for controversy. I guess he was trying to be rakish or charming but I was not charmed.
