As the impeachment marches on, Bloomberg’s staff took time out to be “woke.” Isn’t fair fair? This should finish Bloomberg before he gets started with today’s unwritten rules.Of course Bloomberg leaves it for his staff to apologize. But for a New York Jew looks like you just claim that they are simply “borscht belt jokes.” I find it interesting that the Times choses now to do this little reveal.
Michael Bloomberg’s campaign team started cleaning up after its candidate before he has officially entered the 2020 presidential race.
A spokesperson from Bloomberg’s campaign issued an apology after a report from the New York Times revealed the former New York City mayor had made many demeaning comments about women.
One remark attributed to Mr. Bloomberg went like this: “If women wanted to be appreciated for their brains, they’d go to the library instead of to Bloomingdale’s.” Another line, purportedly Mr. Bloomberg’s sales pitch for his eponymous computer terminal, said the machine will “do everything,” including oral sex, although a cruder term was used.
“I guess,” Mr. Bloomberg was quoted as saying, “that puts a lot of you girls out of business.”
These accusations had surfaced before, but Bloomberg brushed them off as “borscht belt jokes.” His campaign, however, took a softer approach and apologized for the remarks.
Stu Loeser, a spokesman for Bloomberg and his former press secretary, said, “Mike has come to see that some of what he has said is disrespectful and wrong. He believes his words have not always aligned with his values and the way he has led his life.”

Well, IMO Nothing matters when you’re talking about democrat voters. They’re either voting for their deluded completely unrealistic infantile fantasies or against the republican, or in this case the Super Republican – DJT.
Honestly, they’d vote for a racist, sexist, super hetero, white power, nationalist, fascist, Russian Asset, super Christian SATAN if he ran.

As I said to A… I am not naive… but I have been to so called comedy shows and I find the jokes humorless…. why demean women to such an extent? and the audience seem to revel in it. It is the courseness of it all…

Call me weird, but I don’t see the problem. I think the reason people are upset is the remarks carry a bit of truth to them.

I think it is the double standard that makes this news worthy., That and the fact that zero reporting on this compared to what if a GOPer had made the statements… For a GOP candidate to say such comments it would have be toast.
I am no prude but as far as I am concerned oral sex jokes need to remain in the locker room where they belong not in “polite company” or in a business setting where women are present… But I defend your right to your opinion!!

I guess I skimmed over that part where his oral sex “joke” was part of a sales pitch. Now that’s just plain stupid. And of course a GOPer would be nailed to the proverbial cross if he said the same thing.

Let’s give the little man a break ok? He probably made those remarks when he was a republican. And now that viagra is readily available surely he has abandoned his fixation with oral sex.,
