Beautiful? No Experience? You Can Get Hired by Trump by David A. Graham

In a clip unearthed by Mother Jones, the Republican presidential nominee boasts about hiring a possibly underage woman simply because she was attractive.
On Wednesday, Pema Levy of Mother Jones dug up a video that will fuel the flames. It shows Trump at a 2007 appearance in San Francisco. A young woman steps to a microphone and asks how many jets he has and whether she can work on one. “Come on up here,” Trump says. “I think she’s hired.”
As the woman walks to the lectern, the crowd hoots. As she gets near, Trump takes a good long look at her décolletage, then says, “You’re hired.” What happens next is even stranger. He tells a story:
You know, I had a case that was very interesting. A beautiful girl who was 17 or 18 and applied to be a waitress. So beautiful. She's like a world-class beauty—like the young lady who just asked a question about the actress. She's so beautiful. And my people came and she said, "Mr. Trump, she has no experience." So I interviewed her anyway because she was so pretty. And I said, "Let me ask you, do you have any experience?" She goes, "No, sir." I say, "When can you start?"

It gets much worse if you go to the link. He even talks about how dangerous it is for him to hire a beautiful underage girl to work on his plane. He said it's like putting alcohol in front of an alcoholic. AND he said this when he was 2 years into his third marriage (I presume that's Melania, right?).
ETA: I just noticed what GearDaddy posted – it confirms this article, too. It's here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10028196947
