Old Men Need Love Too

County Commissioner Cleo Kirk, was accused of sexual harassment. I don't want to wear it out, but again I'm not surprised.I don't think the county should be sued, and have to pay a huge settlement. Which is how these things, usually end up anyway. It's safe to say that Cleo Kirks political career. Will come to and end in 45 days. I think he might be guilty to a degree. But not totally. Let me explain what I mean by that. If he did this, it didn't just happen last week. The incidents supposedly took place, in April and May. The accuser has been on staff, for twelve years. He just paid attention to her? I think if there was a problem, it started way before then. I think he was an easy target. People are more likely to believe her, as opposed to her blaming one of the other men. I would like to hear, what Marilyn Loeffel says. Year before last we paid a lawsuit, to an officer who was handcuffed as a joke. What kind of relationship did they have? Where someone had the chance to put them in handcuffs. What were they doing? This undermines the cases where the worker has been on the job twenty-five years, and never gets promoted. Because his racist boss has been there twenty-eight. Chances are the supervisor won't get caught, in a compromising position. If the victim doesn't have big breasts, or a pretty face.

What bothers me, is when people that probably shouldn't have the job anyway. I'm not saying that's the case here. They may be highly qualified. Far to often that's not the case. Plaintiffs end up with the spoils, at someone else's expense. I have seen women win harassment cases, for jobs they shouldn't have. If you have had an improper relationship with one of your bosses. It's not the publics problem to straighten it out, after the fact. I don't know all the details yet. But based on what I've heard, I think I'm right. I think this is all about timing. They might be trying to hit, while the iron is hot. They might know something we don't know. Between term limits and the Tennessee Waltz. A Memphis politician isn't worth much these days. If this is true? Old men need love too, at least they think they do.
