NBC's Sunday Night Football cemented itself as an American institution in part due to the work of Al Michaels, the veteran commentator whose voice has accompanied Americans for years as they see out their fall weekends couchside. That doesn't mean Michaels, or any other broadcasting bigwig, is incapable of a drastic mistake. That was in evidence last night, as Michaels tried to bring a current events reference to bear on the proceedings on the field. Hilarity did not ensue:
Michaels simply could not have misread the national room any more than he did. The allegations against Harvey Weinstein are not just horrifying on an individual level—they are increasingly a testament to the systemic misogyny that pervades American life.
More than that, though, the way Michaels phrased the reference made it seem like all this was just happening to Weinstein, like it was bad luck or he drew the short straw. It's not Weinstein's turn to have a bad week in the way that the cyclical nature of American professional sports means the fortunes of a team like the Giants will rise and fall.
Don’t be fooled by this Harvey Weinstein story, friends. This is intended to distract us from gross sexual criminal behavior among leftists in places like New York and Hollywood, all the way down to child sex abuse and even murder.
This story is intended to make us think like Pollyanna that the worst thing ever is sexual harassment. And that we finally have the culprit!
But sexual harassment is a starting point. When top figures at Fox News were accused of harassment – all charges unproven in a court of law – the media, Democrats and feminists went bonkers.
Yet now after left-wing movie mogul Harvey Weinstein – friend of Obama, the Clintons, John Kerry, Al Gore, etc. – has been exposed for decades for such behavior and worse, there has been a lot of silence from feminists and liberals, and even attempted exoneration.
One of the biggest sexual abusers of our time is Bill Clinton. We don’t even know what this guy has really done. His behavior has been known for decades and his whole presidency was almost toppled over the issue of his treatment of women (he was impeached, but not removed from office for lying about his behavior). At the same time his uber-feminist wife Hillary has been his greatest enabler and defender while claiming that she stands for the rights of “strong women”. Turns out that she spent decades trashing any woman who crossed Bill Clinton. What a joke. This is one of the reasons that Hillary lost the election – she is a hypocrite when it comes to women’s issues, and millions of voters understood this.
He looks creepy. I mean he isn't very attractive with his beer gut and unshaved bolt head.

Weinstein completes sex addict rehab after just one week | Daily Mail Online
The former VP is already in hot water, fighting abuse claims in Portland, where another masseuse said Gore groped her in '06 and asked her to perform a "chakra release" (massage-speak for "hand job".) He denies everything.
The new allegations are said to have taken place at two hotels - one in Beverly Hills in 2007, when Gore was in Hollywood for the Oscars, the other in Tokyo in 2008.
Unless some of it is covered up of course.
Weinstein will be the stooge for lots of people in high places.
