Treat People With Respect

For John, BLUF:  The Democrat Party treatment of Jennifer Flowers, and other "bimbo eruptions" is just flat out wrong.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Flowers in the sewer — the misogyny of the disgust for Bill Clinton's lover

University of Wisconsin, Madison, Law Professor Ann Althouse is in high dudgeon♠ over how people♥ are talking about Ms Jennifer Flowers.

On "Meet the Press" today, Chuck Todd was interviewing Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman, John Podesta:

CHUCK TODD:  Is your goal of this debate is to get under his skin?  Is that why you gave Mark Cuban a ticket right in the front row?

JOHN PEDESTAL:  No, I think Mark Cuban is one of the business leaders who was never involved in partisan politics who's endorsed Hillary because he thinks she'll do better for the—for the economy.  I think that, you know, you saw his reaction,♣ which is to do his favorite sport, which is to dive in the sewer and go for a swim.

Basically we have Mr John Podesta saying, on live TV, that Ms Jennifer Flowers is a slut.  And that Mr Trump is diving into a sewer to find her.

While Professor Althouse goes after Mr Trump for saying he is going to "put" Ms Flowers somewhere, she saves most of her wrath for those who who treat Ms Flowers with contempt.  Shouldn't we see the sex in which Ms Flowers engages as a two person activity.  Is it still the 1800s, when we talk about the "fallen woman" and ignore the other partner in the game.  This is shameful on the part of Mrs Clinton's campaign.

Hat tip to Ann Althouse.
