I find myself wondering….simplistically perhaps, but nevertheless,
from the mining of my many decades of experience
with the issues of men and women…...:
Perhaps, just perhaps, this young fellow, Favreau, is/was merely sublimating,
in a presumed socially safe, albeit slightly stoned, environment,
an actual ‘attraction’ to Hillary Clinton….

The human electromagnetic thing is soooo complex andvariable, after all…..

and, for goodness sake, youthful indescretion is
NO REASON to call for trashing a person’s career!

Let he or she who has not engaged in any fantasy ever regarding a powerful older person cast the first vote..

Strive on, friends…...

Hmmmm…one poster certainly has her role as “Victim” down pat! Personally, “I find” that poster’s “superficial finger pointing and banter offensive”. No one who posts here has any idea what “amenities… cushions… struggles”,etc, anyone else here has, or hasn’t; apparently some are too self-focused to care about anyone but themselves and their own personal agendas.

NYT, you are bang on the money. Hillary Clinton has had to put up with a tremendous amount of sexism since she came into the public eye, much of disguised as “humor”. NBC’s late night talk show host Conan O’Brien, for instance, ritually made jokes about Clinton’s gender during the primary season (witness the introduction and popularity of the Hillary nutcracker). These jokes are socially acceptable in the same way jokes about John McCain’s age are: O’Brien is allowed to utter them and his audience is allowed to laugh about them. This contrasts quite sharply with the lack of jokes about Barack Obama’s race, racism being a socially taboo subject in a way that sexism and ageism are not.

What Bill Clinton did to his wife when he was president on International TV was really demeaning. A 27 year old letting loose after what would be tremendous pressure to produce a product under fire is not an unforgivable sin…This kid produced a young thinking, yet moderate liberal Christian but not radical Christian, Black presidential candidate who was under constant fire, and much of it was from Hillary herself. Hillary was brutal to the Obama camp, her camp, producers, writers and all were out for blood, it was a bloody ugly battle…Who could blame them for making fun of her, my guess is this is not about demeaning Hillary for being a woman, maybe a little about demeaning her for being such a cold blooded witch…, The Hillary camp was cut throat, they were brutal, truth benders, insinuations, and down right liars for the golden ticket to the presidential candidacy, which seems like hellish competitors for the Obama team…I couldn’t blame them for any disrespect for Hilary on their part, and she is nothing but a senator, x First Lady, x presidential candidate hopeful at the moment…She is not Secretary of State,yet but she is a x nemesis…Dark humor is good at times, it relieves pressure, heals, makes one laugh at themselves and others, puts things in perspective…The scapegoating, political correctness (hypocritical) police, making such big huge issues out of petty, and I mean petty events is disgusting to me…This is also an insult to any person who is starving, homeless, or put in jail because our country uses it’s poor as an industry.. American’s who have lost love ones because they have no health insurance, lost their jobs, had to choose between food or heat or medications, don’t give a damn about a 27 year old partying, making fun of his x nemesis, Hillary Clinton…The people in the middle east who have lost their children, husband, wives friends and loved ones because our country allowed our president to illegally invade and occupy their country using lies and scapegoats, should be highly outraged by the attention and newsworthiness of this horrific act!...Or how about the real feminist issues like the average American woman, still make less than men, have to take care of more, are violently raped and killed everyday. They of course are nothing big or important, compared to the terrible political incorrectness of dancing with a card board cut out of a elderly senator, x first lady, and x Presidential candidate hopeful!Well…honestly….I find your superficial finger pointing and banter offensive, if you haven’t caught on yet…You offend real people, with real life and death issues that seem to allude you…It’s a class thing, your social and financial class affords luxury and cushions, amenities, Betty Ford Centers or whatever you need, thing…I personally find this to be funny and as what someone in my kids generation would do…Some of the comments remind me so much of Bill O’Rielley, with his superior moralistic outrage and finger pointing, Oh the drama!!!...Modern feminism has never helped anyone out but the rich elite women who got their money and power from their rich daddies or husbands…So please don’t pretend to protect woman’s rights when you only protect your own agendas…I have had to struggle in this world alone, fending off the elite feminist who make ineffective laws and policies for the sex they claim that they defend..Of course the rest of the female population, like me are discounted, as not being real or as deserving, as the elite wealthy rule maker feminists…They are hell to work for or with, and I have no love, like or sympathy for their kind. And certainly have no tendency to align with the bogus feminist agenda’s that are being used to discredit this kid!

One can only wonder what, precisely, would the reaction have been if a similar photo of Clinton aides pretending to be fondling Michelle Obama’s breast was discovered on Facebook? 

If he were a “fratboy” the photo may merely have been in very poor taste. However, Jon Favreau is 27 years old. Furthermore, he isn’t just any campaign aide, he is President Elect Barack Obama’s chief speechwriter. Where, I wonder, was Obama’s belief in the lofty “inclusive” sentiments written by this overgrown adolescent? Did he dismiss Favreau immediately? Naturally not!

Both Clintons back President-elect Obama.  Why doesn’t Arius, who posted here?

The vitriol expressed by poster Arius isn’t healthy imho.  I urge those who share such distain for the President-elect to at least hold their fire, as Mr. Obama will assume responsibility for terribly large problems not of his making.  It will take all of us, including Arius, to help make this country work.  If Hillary can accept Secretary of State in an Obama administration, it may be time for her most ardent supporters to see the wisdom of supporting our incoming president as well.

This story is a waste of electrons and ink.

Who gives a darn what some drunk guy did at a private party?  even someone who has a public job?

the person who thought this was important to put on the web should have written an e-mail to his/her mother instead, or read a story to a child, or helped run a food shelf, or something productive.

Ya cant tell me that’s not alcohol abuse..  I’m right around his age and I have know idea how much booze it would take for me ta grab hillary clintons boob.  Event if it is just a cardboard version!

Why is this a problem? Maybe we should all learn to lighten up and relax a little. We are facing some tough problems ahead, anger and fear are not what we need to fix them. We all do things like this around our close friends. We let ourselves go and just joke around. This is no big deal.
