SEXUAL PERVERSION: ET TU BUSH?

ICHEOKU says the former president is increasingly looking like Don Corleone of The Godfather fame; what aging can do to a man who was a former navy pilot and used to jumping off airplanes. But now he barely walks, confined in a wheelchair, while living out whatever is left his last days at 93 years old. The former president was accused of sexual indecency of groping a females' butt and making indecent, dirty-rotten lurid jokes about and to the lady's hearing. 

Heather Lind, actress, said that the former president grabbed her arse four years ago when she in company of others went to visit with the former president while promoting their AMC TV show, “Turn: Washington’s Spies." According to her, the president instead of shaking her hands like others, grabbed her from behind while sitting on his wheel chair during a photo-op. Continuing, she said the president's wife and former First Lady Barbara Bush watched as her husband laid his hands on her buttocks and severally. She said Barbara "rolled her eyes as if to say 'not again;' and that the president's security detail also told her that she shouldn't have stood next to the president during the photo shoot. This suggests that the president has been grabbing women from the behind and that every person around the former president knows about it or at least is aware of his proclivity to grab women's behind. Otherwise why admonish that the lady should not have stood next to him and nobody warned her of that special misbehavior prior to the photo op. 

In her post, Heather Lind wrote: "I was disturbed today by a photo I saw of President Barack Obama shaking hands with George H. W. Bush in a gathering of ex-presidents organizing aid to states and territories damaged by recent hurricanes. I found it disturbing because I recognize the respect ex-presidents are given for having served and I feel pride and reverence toward many of the men in the photo. But when I got the chance to meet George H. W. Bush four years ago to promote a historical television show I was working on, he sexually assaulted me while I was posing for a similar photo. He didn't shake my hand. He touched me from behind from his wheelchair with his wife Barbara Bush by his side. He told me a dirty joke. And then, all the while being photographed, touched me again." 

ICHEOKU says so what exactly are the Bush family hiding and covering about the Senior Bush and patriarch of the family. If this perversion has been going on for some time now, why did they not take measures to ensure that no visiting woman is so victimized or allowed so near the president that his hands might wander off unto her buttocks. Even 'Barbara's eye roll as if to say not again' is also indicative that this propensity has existed for quite some time now and that the wife is fully aware of it and possibly embarrassed about it; but that the family has covered it up. Possibly they think that they had succeeded or are too embarrassed to own it up. 

In the Bush family's apology or rather feeble attempt to spin the story, they said:“President Bush would never — under any circumstance — intentionally cause anyone distress, and he most sincerely apologizes if his attempt at humor offended Ms. Lind. At age 93, President Bush has been confined to a wheelchair for roughly five years, so his arm falls on the lower waist of people with whom he takes pictures. To try to put people at ease, the president routinely tells the same joke — and on occasion, he has patted women’s rears in what he intended to be a good-natured manner. Some have seen it as innocent; others clearly view it as inappropriate. To anyone he has offended, President Bush apologizes most sincerely.”

ICHEOKU finds as unacceptable this non apology, apology; that the president "has in the past, patted women's rears in what he intended to be a good-natured manner." Query: what a bunkum absurdity that an unwanted assault was so cavalierly explained away as "intended to be a good-natured manner." What school of manners teaches that grabbing a woman, who is not your partner's ass, is anything good mannered. Even the fact that they said "women's rears, plural, shows that it is an ongoing pattern of misbehavior of the former president which they have shielded from the American public; especially victims of his assault who had visited him without being forewarned to keep their distances from him, especially their rear ends. This knowledge supplies everything Ms Lind needs to file an action against the former president or even lodge a complaint to the prosecutor's office if she wants to go that route, because the sexual advances were unwanted and without her consent. 

 Query: if the president's arms suddenly "falls on the lower waist of people with whom he takes pictures", why does his falling arms always only find women's butts? How many men's butt has the president's falling arms grabbed in the past? ICHEOKU says an explanation has never been so coy and intended to rub in the insult more as this inept falling of hands explanation.  Why can't his hands be securely placed on the president's laps to avoid and prevent them from wandering unto the butt of "people with whom he takes pictures? Why does the president's falling hands not find the front of these victims; but instead continually finds their rear end. Why does the president's "falling hands" rest on their butts instead of continuing on its free falling until it falls to the grounds? 

There is a lot of unanswered questions which the Bush family and their minders are not answering. A pattern exists here which never surfaced until now. Is it possible that the Bush family has a "falling hands" syndrome and that it also afflicts other members of the family. Recall the unsolicited and nearly embarrassing massage and neck rub which the son, GW Bush, gave to Germany's Angela Merkel. That the German Chancellor was taken unawares and felt quite uncomfortable with such an unsolicited gesture and violation of her person could be deduced from her facial expression as captured on video. 

Sexual assault is sexual assault regardless of the status of the perpetrator and in this case a former president of the United States of America. The victim perceived it as such and that's the only controlling authority, regardless of 'the good-natured manner' of its perpetrator. Any unbiased third party and/or those who witnessed it will and also agrees that what happened to Heather Lind was a sexual assault. Therefore the present attempt to simply explain it away as a "good-natured manner" gesture is an unacceptable total bull-crap baloney. 

Just listen to the victim explain her ordeal being groped by the former president, using a hashtag "#metoo", which women have used to share their experiences with sexual harassment and assault and you will agree that she felt completely violated: “My fellow cast-mates and producers helped me that day and continue to support me. I am grateful for the bravery of other women who have spoken up and written about their experiences.” And somewhat backing her story up, another actress, Jordan Grolnick has narrated her own ordeal of being similarly sexually molested by the same former president GH Bush during an also photo-op encounter. According to her narrative, the former president "reached his right hand around to my behind, and as we smiled for the photo he asked the group, ‘Do you want to know who my favorite magician is? As I felt his hand dig into my flesh, he said, ‘David Cop-a-Feel!" 

ICHEOKU says the sexual assault committed by former President George Hubbert Bush against actress Heather Lind speaks for itself and it spoke volume. Any unwanted touching of a person is an assault and when the touching appertains to any sexual region, it aggregates to sexual assault. Moreso, the victim's state of mind concerning what he or she felt happened is the only factor of consequence and not the perpetrator's intention, regardless of "how good-mannered" it might be. Therefore, spinning the Heather Lind's horrifying experience in the hands of former President George Hubbert Bush, any other way, is unacceptable. It is also an insult to the injury of the victim, who deserved nothing but a full throated apology from the former president and could also sue him for damages, if she wants. yes, sexual assault is real and what the proverbial "big men" get away with would be sufficient to put away lesser mortals and for a long time. Anyway, to Hollywood pervert in chief Harvey Weinstein, the former President George Hubbert Bush should at least send a consolatory shout out, 'ME TOO!'
