Liberal MP Says Tory MP James Bezan Made 'Humiliating' Remarks Of Sexual Nature

This is the type of incident that kind of pisses me off because it's clearly a joke, it's grey about being inappropriate, there was no sexual intent, yet some people will complain about something like this instead of laughing or just ignoring it. Does the female MP have the right to complain - sure. Does she have grounds for the complaint - sure. But I think common sense should have prevailed.
The fact that such a harmless joke became a news item shows how insane the accusation frenzy has gotten.
It causes me great stress to know that there are fruitcakes like this woman in government.
I wouldn't use that word (ever) but this is clearly a case of using anything to sling mud at another party. I imagine back in the day one MP would have informed on another from an opposing party if they failed to rewind a returned video rental.
Shame is, in an attempt to play a victim, she's not only made herself a target, she's actually made herself look really bad. If I was working with her I'd have lost a great deal of respect.

"In May, the member from Selkirk—Interlake—Eastman publicly made inappropriate, humiliating and unwanted comments to me that were sexual in nature," the Quebec MP said. "These comments have caused me great stress and have negatively affected my work environment."
Oh my, what if this nutcase was ever faced with a real stressful situation? She doesn't seem fit to hold any political office.

This part sounds more like he made up a good line when he was confronted - "While standing for the picture I made an inappropriate and flippant comment by saying, 'this isn't my idea of a threesome,' which was intended as a partisan comment about being in a photo with a Liberal member of caucus,"
She took took 7 months to come forward but in the mean time refused multiple attempts at an apology.
Stupid thing to say but we have all done that many times. Her bringing it forward in this forum was for the grand standing. Plenty of opportunity to resolve long ago.

For the love of God, it was an in marginal taste joke, nothing more. On top of which he has already apologized for saying it.
When are people going to learn that you have to watch what you say?
You really have to know/trust your audience when talkling sex.
I have no sympathy because in those situations you won't find many public supporters. No politician is taking a bullet to help you out.

North Korea,Iran,Russia couldn't cause the internal turmoil that our Social Media has unleashed on our common senses.
We are truly doomed as a society.
I won't dispute that the comment can be considered inappropriate. But her reaction is the equivalent of a dive in soccer - it's over the top. A reaction of "it was offensive" is all I think is required. Great stress? Seems awfully exaggerated.
I agree with the peanut gallery above.
She should have just cut him down on the spot with something like, "in your dreams buddy", or "that's a small threat".
But to stand up in the house about this just shows me that she's not cut out for the real world.

Maybe deep down she never gets any complement and she will take any slightly sexual comment - even in a playful jest - and run with it. She wants the attention, she wants to broadcast to the world that she too suffers from unwanted advances. Nothing that James Bezan could say or do would prevent this sick women her defining moment of feminine glory.
