1. I guess I need to read the transcript.
As you described it I, as a woman too BTW, don't see what's so offensive. From just reading what you wrote I thought that he was implying that he gets more female interest because he's a Senator (money, power prestige) that sort of thing which is the truth. Richer powerful men and women have more options romantically. I don't see how you found rape and sexual harassment in all of that but perhaps if I saw it or read the actual words I could see.

In any case, interviews on talk shows is not the way to judge a senator. The only thing that matters is how they vote and that's the basis of whether they walk the walk. Perhaps you should, if it really matters to you, investigate his actual record on womens'/civil rights issues to see where he stands. I can only imagine how hard it is to be "on" and appealing on a comedy show when you are just a non-celebrity politician. My 2 cents.
