In my daily perusals I was made aware of this list that has been put together by Jezebel and I thought you might be interested Jersey Girl.

Trent Franks is at least a unique twist. He evidently suggested to more than one office staffer that they should consider being a surrogate mother for Franks and his wife. Now I certainly do not know the state of Mrs. Frank's reproductive system, nor do I know if Mr. Franks wished to have the quickening of these surrogates occur with a turkey baster or the more traditional, bible-approved method.

What we do know is that Mr. Franks stated that no improper behavior or touching took place between the Senator and any members of his staff.

But at the same time he announced that he would be resigning December 31st.

So...?

My guess is the majority of men have engaged in such "improprieties". This seems almost like an unmentionable elephant in the room.

Wonder if the aftermath of 2017 will mark a turning point? If so, will it mark the year such behavior lessened or will be the year more men started to join the Republican party for acceptance and forgiveness?

I dunno. It looks like this man has a bit of a history to contend with. What I'm not clear about is if she met the conditions of her so-called job.

It looks as though she did.

"I am dismayed that The New Yorker has decided to characterize a respectful relationship with a woman I dated as somehow inappropriate," Ryan Lizza was quoted as saying.

"The New Yorker was unable to cite any company policy that was violated."
