My latest post at Return of Kings:

Over the past weekend, Hillary Clinton’s Democratic machine launched the first part of their October Surprise; their final attack on the reputation of Donald Trump. It comes in the form of a 2005 video obtained by the Washington Post. In the behind-the-scenes footage, as Trump prepares for a cameo role on Days Of Our Lives, he engages in some locker room banter with Billy Bush, one of the hosts of Access Hollywood. He starts off by telling Bush about attempting (and failing) to seduce a married woman, but it’s the statement that follows which has been drawing the most ire:

Yeah, that’s [Arianne Zucker]. With the gold. I better use some Tic Tacs just in case I start kissing her. You know, I’m automatically attracted to beautiful – I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. I just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab them by the pussy – you can do anything!

Bush laughs, and proceeds to comment on the legs of one of the other actresses walking by.

The video presented to the public has clearly been edited—there are several jumps during which we miss the intervening conversation—but even the final result is tame compared to what constitutes most public discourse in The Current Year. Topics such as Slut Walks, Kim Kardashian ‘breaking the Internet’ with her ass, pop starlets parading about on stage with sex toys, and the extreme forms of sexual perversion which are celebrated annually during Gay Pride Parades—all of these have become part of our ordinary discourse.

Parents bring their children to see midgets in gimp masks being led around on leashes, teenage girls listen to music which promotes bisexuality and hard drug use, grocery store tabloids report every single salacious scandal they can get a hold of, but when Donald Trump jokes about how much he likes kissing pretty girls? Better put a warning up for all of the ‘lewd’ language he’ll be using!
