Great question: "Is there ANY reporter willing to ask Bill Clinton about RAPING me?" —Juanita Broaddrick

Insight: “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.” —Aristotle (384-322 BC)

For the record: “He was my boss. He was the most powerful man on the planet. He was 27 years my senior with enough life experience to know better. He was at the time at the pinnacle of his career, while I was at my first job out of college.” —Monica Lewinsky on Bill Clinton, who is making the rounds this week saying justice prevailed in this case

Alpha Jackass: “I wish that I didn’t suspect that the prolonged, poorly explained public absence of Melania Trump could be about concealing abuse. I wish that it was a ludicrous prospect. I wish that [Donald Trump] wasn’t a man with a history of abusing women, including those to whom he is married.” —Rolling Stone’s Jamil Smith

Progressive bromides: “Republicans are told ‘read the Wall Street Journal, play golf, and talk about pro sports.’ The men especially are all programmed a certain way. They don’t have too many outliers, Republicans. They all behave basically the same.” —MSNBC’s Chris Matthews

Women need to rethink their strategy moving forward.No sane person can backtrack decades and accuse a man of rape.Just once forget the political implications & be bipartisan.I don't care if you're Bill Cosby,Bill Clinton,Morgan Freeman or Harvey Weinstein.The length of time before reporting suggest a lack of urgency.

Ms. Broadrrick did report this decades ago but the media fascination with Bill Clinton effectively suppressed the event and crime. He was at the pinnacle of Arkansas political power and recognized few constraints on his behavior.

I sympathize with your concern about the length of time between the actions of the others you cited and their being accused.

Perhaps a fresh look at statute of limitations is in order to strike a better balance between unlawful behavior and reporting a crime or seeking civil redress?
