Slog - Comments on 100 Percent Class http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/10/100_percent_class Via Goldy: When pressed on the issue, [Republican lands commissioner Douglas Sutherland] displayed a flash of what got him in trouble in 2005, when he rubbed a female employee from her neck to her back moments after meeting her and then either said before a group of colleagues that he "could have felt ... up front" or "could have felt the other side."

Inappropriate perhaps, unfunny certainly, but hardly harassment.

In her mind any attempt by a male to garner the affection and attention of a female is rape.

The reporter isn't his employee, for one thing. What I said was that it was inappropriate--which it was.

Since you guys are so obsessed with harassment, how about covering all the gay on straight harassment at high tech businesses on the eastside.

What?

Oh, that doesn't concern you...?

Yep, welcome to Hypocrattle, wash-In-Ton.

As the Stranger staff so helpfully points out regularly, the important issues of the day are things like sharrows vs bike lanes, and whether to demolish 2 story "historic" buildings in an increasingly dense neighborhoods.

He says "baby I just want to be with you...in the biblical sense"!!! Sometimes he even wears a McCain mask!
