Congress owes taxpayers answers about its harassment 'shush' fund Since when are members of Congress and their staffs accused of sexual harassment allowed to hush up and pay off their accusers from a secret "shush" fund full of taxpayer dollars? Since 1995, it turns out. Congress, we all know, chooses to exempt itself from many of the same laws it foists on the rest of us. It's a grievance I hear regularly during my travels around the country, as grassroots activists complain about this law or that regulation. "If only Congress had to live under the same laws we do, they'd get it, and they'd change it" is a common refrain. For years, for instance, I've been speaking out about the illegal special exemption of Congress from ObamaCare, which allows members and staff to avoid the financial burdens they imposed on us when they passed that terrible law. If only they had to live under the law the same way the rest of us do, without benefit of taxpayer dollars to subsidize their premiums purchased fraudulently on the D.C. small business exchange, they might be more incentivized to repeal that law. But until recently, I did not know about the "shush fund" of Congress, a fund managed by the "Office of Compliance," which itself was created following the 1995 enactment of the Congressional Accountability Act (CAA), the first law enacted by the first Republican House in four decades. The Hill WOW.... that's super fuct if true! There needs to be a WIDESPREAD house cleaning of everyone! * on a sidenote... I'd like to get nasty with Leeann Tweeden, with her consent of course

I'm not sure why these guys try to force themselves on anyone- being a cool guy will get you far enough- especially being a celebrity on top. and double especially if you can make people laugh. Whatever happened to charm? Seems extra stupid if your intention is to go into politics. and then the photo- well that was bonus stupid. Like Gitmo stupid. ------------------------- When America was "great"

The kiss was scripted as an unwanted kiss. Roger Stone posted foreknowledge on Twitter before this story broke. Franken's personality just doesn't seem to fit the mold. I watched some of her lengthy interview, and just can't buy it. She severely lacked sincerity and even plugged her show.

Cole Posts: 68416 Joined Forum: 07/22/2003	I agree with Mike, there needs to be some sensible standard. If you go in for the goodnight kiss after a date and she didn't want it, is that an unwanted sexual advance? Can you even ask a coworker out anymore? ------------------------- I was right.

I don't think you can if you want to be completely safe. I mean it is generally a good policy not to dip your pen in the company ink anyways, but I don't think it would really matter how proper or tasteful your approach to asking a co-worker out is if she decides it is 'unwanted' and reports you to HR.

Trust me, I know. My apologies for the misuse of the word swamp; I spend a great deal of my time in various swamps and wetlands, working to protect them. ------------------------- Specializing in sarcasm and condescending rhetoric since 1971.

Sounds like a guy that got rejected and went no further. Unlike an 32 YO guy that cruises for and dates 14 year olds. Big difference. It's so funny though that Roger Stone broke this story before the "victims ever did. Hmmmm

Careful, he might block you than brag about it like he did something groundbreaking and special every time he sees you quoted by someone else. LOL ....he has super thin skin.
