Billy Bush: Yes, Donald Trump, You Said That

[DemocratSinceBirth]

He said it. “Grab ’em by the pussy.”

Of course he said it. And we laughed along, without a single doubt that this was hypothetical hot air from America’s highest-rated bloviator. Along with Donald Trump and me, there were seven other guys present on the bus at the time, and every single one of us assumed we were listening to a crass standup act. He was performing. Surely, we thought, none of this was real.

We now know better.

Recently I sat down and read an article dating from October of 2016; it was published days after my departure from NBC, a time when I wasn’t processing anything productively. In it, the author reviewed the various firsthand accounts about Mr. Trump that, at that point, had come from 20 women.

1. He will try to blame

President Obama and HRC saying it was them on the bus.

2. I always wondered why Billy Bush didn't come out and say,

I got fired for asking the questions and he became Prez for saying...

I know he had to recover, and his timing is pretty good here.

What Rump did was so much worse than what a lot of others were called out for. He is such a great example for young boys and teens. I hope this finally backfires on him all of the way to hell.

3. I liked his op/ed. It was pretty good. Good for him to write it.

4. I agree. I've never been a fan of Billy Bush (it doesn't help that he looks like his cousin Dubya)

but I was impressed with his op/ed. I really was.

5. Yes I was pleasantly surprised that he wrote it.

Yeah he sure does resemble Shrub.
