Yes, and his recent comment that nobody seems to be interesting in enough to put in the mainstream media where he (Bernie) makes lewd comments about a girl in the audience. I guess you can put a suit on a hippy pervert but he is still a pervert. I bet Billy boy Clinton laughs his butt off when he thinks of Bernie. They both have so much in common. They both have homely wives and like young girls.

I found it for you.

Topless woman interrupts Bernie Sanders to protest Trump

"When she took her top off the crowd unsurprisingly started cheering. Sanders stopped for a second to figure out what was going on, flashed a quick smile, and then went right on complaining about Wall Street, because Sanders is a rock that will not be moved off of his talking points."

No lewd remarks.

He said he couldn't take his eyes off of her and that he was attempting to take in every detail, when he was interviewed on the radio.

Actually, I don't think that she is running for the job, so no worry. I am not going to hold it against Bernie's wife for honeymooning in communist USSR either.

But I know the right wing has hounded Obama about his grandfather's communist friend Franklin Marshall Davis. Saying he was Obama's mentor not to mention Saul Alinsky So I give you these links:

Who is Saul Alinsky? | BillMoyers.com

Now the Republicans are running a candidate whose married to a communist and a candidate who was raised by a communist who fought with Castro.

Go figure?

By your definition I must be a pervert. And every guy I hung out with since I can remember also must be a pervert. If I get poked I peek. Let me illustrate.

Conservatives are held to a higher standard, therefore can be criticized.

Are there any lessons to draw from this?
Absolutely: if you're a politician — especially on the national level — everything you've ever written, said, or done can, and likely will, be dredged up for all the world to inspect and critique.

It's not the first time writings from long ago have resurfaced to be used against a candidate. Republican Bob McDonnell's 20-year-old thesis about his views on women was also used as a cudgel against him in his bid for governor of Virginia in 2009.

When Louisiana Republican Gov. Bobby Jindal's name began to surface as a potential vice-presidential candidate in 2012, the political world began writing about his 1994 essay about an exorcism he says he witnessed. That, by the way, is sure to come up again if he runs in 2016 or any time in the future.

Many candidates have also faced plagiarism charges, like Democratic Sen. John Walsh of Montana, who dropped out of his re-election race last year after the New York Times reported he had lifted portions of the final paper he wrote to get his master's degree.

Vice President Joe Biden admitted in 1987 to cribbing a speech from a British politician, but said it wasn't "malevolent." In 2008, the Clinton campaign accused Barack Obama of lifting lines from his friend, then-Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick.

And then there are the countless officials who have been embarrassed in the media for sexual impropriety, including the aforementioned Bill Clinton. Eliot Spitzer. Anthony Weiner. David Vitter. John Ensign. Chris Lee. Vito Fossella. Mark Foley. Dennis Hastert.

It's not just elected officials — consider the flap over past comments in which now-Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor described herself as a "wise Latina." It's not plagiarism or an affair, but it created a headache for her during confirmation hearings.

The scrutiny is part of why so many people want nothing to do with the white hot spotlight that comes with running for office.

The Bernie Sanders 'Rape Fantasy' Essay, Explained : It's All Politics : NPR

The point is, can America not do better than this? Everyone wants a TV style scandal. Does this make them feel superior, or does everyone crave entertainment so much that they seek scandals. And why should we settle for anyone but the best this country has, to be the leader of the world? It doesn't matter what party it is, these candidates are scraping the bottom. Decent candidates are overlooked and discarded. What we get is the angriest or the one that offers the most free stuff, or the first female or the first black. Lets demand a time-out and start over from the beginning. Everyone takes back their vote, and we erase the ballots and start with fresh candidates. Candidates that are not carrying so much baggage. Candidates that know when and how to keep their mouths shut. Candidates that won't allow the media to suck them into baiting word traps. Candidates that know how to avoid controversy answers to stupid trap questions. Candidates that aren't carrying heavy baggage from their past. These former lawyers must have been failures in court, because they get tied up by the simplest of trap questions the media can think of. Are they really that inept at being on the stand that they don't know when someone is leading the witness or attempting to get them to lie on record?

Nope, it's time to hit the election reset button and start with new material. Because we do not have the best of the best that has been tempered by fire. We have the scum that floats at the top of the cesspool.
