    �The Simpsons� Showrunner Gets Back At George H.W. Bush
    by Denise Petski

    It�s taken 25 years, but The Simpsons� showrunner Al Jean finally had
    his chance to return a jab at George H.W. Bush.

    During a speech on family values in 1992, the former president said
    that American families needed to be �a lot more like the Waltons and a
    lot less like the Simpsons�.

    Following recent sexual harassment allegations leveled against 41,
    Jean is now responding.

    In a tweet, Jean jabbed, �.@TheSimpsons I think George HW Bush should
    act more like the Waltons than the Simpsons. #25yearoldgrudge.�

    Is that supposed to be funny or clever or meaningful in some way?

    Given that the accusations relate to events from the past few years and
    given the minuscule odds of someone over 90 years of age *not* having
    some degree of senile dementia (at the very least), it's been
    unfortunate to see this one playing out the way that it's been playing
    out. If anything, those around him *without* decreased mental faculties
    are at fault for not avoiding this situation in the first place. After
    all, it's not as if women should be required to put up with a hands-y
    person just because that person is slipping mentally.

    In any case, it's pretty pathetic for this Simpsons loser to pile on
    like this.

    Way to show an inability to take a joke.

    No. It's simply schadenfreude.

    It took 25 years to come up with THAT?

    And BTW, that accusation of him being like Harvey Weinstein and his ilk
    was ridickulous!

    A couple of things here: George H.W. Bush is 93 and (since everybody's
    seen him lately) it's clear that he's not entirely compos mentis.

    I've heard he's quite mentally sharp but condined to the wheelchair.

    Some of the comments from people around Bush indicate that he's been
    doing this often enough that one of Bush's people told the young woman
    that they should have warned her not to stand near him.

    As I understand it, he tells the same lame joke she got her panties in an uproar over to everyone and either his arm flops around or he tries to put
    them at ease over his physical condition and everyone rolls their eyes at his bad joke.

    I think this was a thing where you go to Barbara and say, hey, your
    husband was out of line there. Barbara then apologizes and explains
    the way things are, and that ends the matter. What I don't think you
    do is go running to the HuffPost to claim sexual harassment from a >93-year-old wheelchair-bound dotard.

    I especially didn't like how it took some of the air out of the
    coverage of real, actual sexual harassment of victimized women from the
    likes of Harvey Weinstein.

    Is that supposed to be funny or clever or meaningful in some way?

    Given that the accusations relate to events from the past few years and
    given the minuscule odds of someone over 90 years of age *not* having
    some degree of senile dementia (at the very least), it's been
    unfortunate to see this one playing out the way that it's been playing
    out. If anything, those around him *without* decreased mental faculties
    are at fault for not avoiding this situation in the first place. After
    all, it's not as if women should be required to put up with a hands-y
    person just because that person is slipping mentally.

    In any case, it's pretty pathetic for this Simpsons loser to pile on
    like this.

    A couple of things here: George H.W. Bush is 93 and (since everybody's
    seen him lately) it's clear that he's not entirely compos mentis.

    Has he lost mental faculties or is he simply losing it physically? From
    the complaints being lodged about him, it certainly sounds like he is
    mentally there.

    My sis the nurse practitioner (remember her?) has worked in old-age
    homes. Aged patients of either sex were forever slapping the staff on
    the ass or coming onto them in some way. There is something in the
    older, less able mind that thinks it's funny and charming and that you
    do, too.

    I don't think it is a sign of a less able mind. I do think it is a sign
    that they think they can get away with it and that they just don't care
    if people object to their impoliteness.

    Of courser you on't, but you're not senile.

    Some of the comments from people around Bush indicate that he's been
    doing this often enough that one of Bush's people told the young woman
    that they should have warned her not to stand near him.

    I think this was a thing where you go to Barbara and say, hey, your
    husband was out of line there. Barbara then apologizes and explains
    the way things are, and that ends the matter.

    It seems clear from the comments that Barbara Bush knows what is going
    on. She is probably embarrassed, but really, what can she do about it?
    It isn't like she can threaten to withhold sex or something.

    What I don't think you
    do is go running to the HuffPost to claim sexual harassment from a 93-year-old wheelchair-bound dotard.

    I especially didn't like how it took some of the air out of the
    coverage of real, actual sexual harassment

    I agree completely. The entire 'MeToo' campaign seems to muddle rape,
    sexual assaults, harrasment, and cases where someone was simply
    'rude'...and the rudeness is often just an effect of the bad pick up
    line being unwanted.

    of victimized women from the
    likes of Harvey Weinstein.

    ...and Toback and Savino and Ailes and Trump and Halperin and Grasham
    and Besh and...

    �The Simpsons� Showrunner Gets Back At George H.W. Bush
    by Denise Petski

    It�s taken 25 years, but The Simpsons� showrunner Al Jean finally had
    his chance to return a jab at George H.W. Bush.

    During a speech on family values in 1992, the former president said
    that American families needed to be �a lot more like the Waltons and a
    lot less like the Simpsons�.

    Following recent sexual harassment allegations leveled against 41,
    Jean is now responding.

    In a tweet, Jean jabbed, �.@TheSimpsons I think George HW Bush should
    act more like the Waltons than the Simpsons. #25yearoldgrudge.�

    Is that supposed to be funny or clever or meaningful in some way?


    No. It's simply schadenfreude.

    Way to show an inability to take a joke.

    Jokes are supposed to be funny, and not just cheap shots that show that
    you've spent 25 years with a chip on your shoulder.

    So you missed his self deprecation as well. That makes you 0-2.

    Admitting that you're pathetic enough to carry around a chip on your
    shoulder for 25 years doesn't change the fact that you've been pathetic
    enough to carry around a chip on your shoulder for 25 years. And it
    doesn't make it funny.

    He's been trying to act more like the Waltons who own Walmart.
