In this era, when it seems every male Democrat is a sexual predator, a woman named Tara Reade tells about the time in 1993 when Joe Biden, alone with her in his office, pushed her against the wall and shoved his hand into her skirt and his finger into her.  She objected, and he said something like, "Come on, man, I thought you liked me."

Being a good Democrat, the estimable Ms. Reade kept her mouth shut these 27 years.  But as others began telling similar stories about Biden misbehavior, she finally said something.

This should never have happened, but it's hard to sympathize with Tara Reade.  She had her eyes wide shut.  Joe Biden's been a liar, exaggerator, big talker, and BSer forever.  He's been famous for 40 years for putting his hands all over women and little girls.  This woman chose not to see and, after Feeler Joe did what he did, chose not to talk about it.  Given the propensity of Democrats to savage women who come forward with such experiences, one can understand that, but the rest of the story doesn't dispose one to feel bad for poor Ms. Tara.

She's a Sanders gal today, almost certainly voted for Bill Clinton even after the Monica revelations, and stood by HRC even after the revelations of Hillary slut-shaming a woman in court and then laughing about it, and saying of other women that they should get over it.

Frankly, her continued support for any Democrat is a shocker.  That she didn't run from the party after the Biden experience and then the Clinton thing tells us some unflattering truths about the lady.  She says she decided to go public now in support of other women who had similar experiences with Biden, but her actions say something else.  By sticking with the Predator Party, she in effect says Democrat men can do as they please to other women, just not to her.  But feel sorry for her anyway.

Tara Reade's tears and feelings of betrayal are entirely believable, but her woes are self-inflicted.
