Memo Rips GOP Hopeful for 'Lewd' Actions
By KEN GUGGENHEIM
Associated Press Writer


WASHINGTON (AP)--A potential Republican candidate for the Senate seat from Illinois--where the party's nominee withdrew over sex club allegations--engaged in ``lewd and abusive behavior'' while she served as a top official in the White House drug policy office, an internal inquiry found last year.

In front of her staff, Andrea Grubb Barthwell made repeated comments about the sexual orientation of a staff member and used a kaleidoscope to make sexually offensive gestures, according to the findings of a March 19, 2003, ``hostile workplace memorandum'' prepared by drug policy office staff. The Associated Press obtained the memorandum.<snip>

``Dr. Barthwell made reference to this staff member sitting on men's laps. A kaleidoscope pointed upward was placed on a chair by Dr. Barthwell as the staff member was about to sit down,'' it said.

``Dr. Barthwell suggested that the staff member would want to cut the cake available for the gathering because the knife was 'long and hard' and he might 'enjoy handling it.' When the cake was cut, Dr. Barthwell referred to the pieces as 'most' or 'beefy' and she said to the staff member, 'I know you like it big and meaty.''' <snip>

3. With this story "out there"

4. this was floated

sometime last week then it kin`a died. then the dufuss on 670 got the ditka thing going...the republicans are out of people who will run..get the milkman!!! mexicans don`t vote-they are all illegals!!!

5. I think Obama will

run uncontested. The repukes are now grasping at straws. Why waste the money if they know they're going to lose? Will they save face if they run a loser? Will it be less embarrassing than not running a candidate? I'll never figure those people out. Nor do I want to. :(

7. Just leave Ryan's name on the ballot

sure Obama will beat him by more than 30 points but at this point does it matter? It's over folks, give it up.

6. Man, I was hoping for the "nuge"...

Every time that guy shows up on tv flapping his gums, I crack up.

Anyway, so... now the Illinois GOP thinks their downstate base is going to vote for a pro-choice african american woman?
