My kind of Democrat ... Ohio Supreme Court Judge Bill O'Neill brags of sex conquests.......

Sorry about the link


http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-42032731

Ohio voters are in shock after a top judge boasted of having been "sexually intimate" with "approximately 50 very attractive females".

State Supreme Court Judge Bill O'Neill, who is a Democratic candidate for state governor, made the claim on Facebook on Friday afternoon.

In a follow-up interview he defended his post and a senator who was pictured apparently groping a sleeping woman.

Ohio Democrats condemned Judge O'Neill's comments.

His post began: "Now that the dogs of war are calling for the head of Senator Al Franken I believe it is time to speak up on behalf of all heterosexual males."

Judge O'Neill noted that as a candidate for governor, his admission would "save my opponents some research time".

..........................................

Cincinnati City Councilman Chris Seelbach wrote to Judge O'Neill on Twitter: "Not only have you lost any glimpse of support from me, (you've) also lost my respect."

Mary Taylor, Republican lieutenant governor of Ohio, posted on Twitter: "There's a very serious conversation going on right now in this country about sexual harassment and @BillForOhio's crass post is ill-timed and dismissive at best."

"We have to be better than this," she added.

But Judge O'Neill doubled down on his comments in a subsequent Facebook post.

"Lighten up folks," he scolded his critics.
"This is how Democrats remain in the minority."
