POLITICO:
Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.) has not decided whether to resign, his lawyer said Thursday, despite calls from congressional leaders to step down amid several allegations of sexual harassment.

“Nancy Pelosi did not elect the congressman, and she sure as hell won’t be the one to tell the congressman to leave,” said Conyers’ attorney, Arnold Reed, referring to the House minority leader. Conyers, 88, was hospitalized after suffering chest pains and dizziness Wednesday night.

Reed also suggested that the calls for Conyers’ resignation are racially motivated.

“I would suspect that Nancy Pelosi is going to have to explain what is the discernible difference between [Sen.] Al Franken and John Conyers,” Reed said. Franken (D-Minn.) is also facing multiple sexual harassment allegations.

Matt Lauer Responds to Harassment Claims: ‘There Is Enough Truth in These Stories’

Former “Today” anchor Matt Lauer addressed a growing spate of allegations that he harassed and assaulted women during his tenure at the NBC morning institution, apologizing for his actions and vowing to fix the damage he caused.

“There are no words to express my sorrow and regret for the pain I have caused others by words and actions. To the people I have hurt, I am truly sorry. As I am writing this I realize the depth of the damage and disappointment I have left behind at home and at NBC. Some of what is being said about me is untrue or mischaracterized, but there is enough truth in these stories to make me feel embarrassed and ashamed. I regret that my shame is now shared by the people I cherish dearly,” Lauer said in a statement that was released by a personal publicist and formed the bulk of the top story on “Today” Thursday morning. “Repairing the damage will take a lot of time and soul searching and I’m committed to beginning that effort. It is now my full time job. The last two days have forced me to take a very hard look at my own troubling flaws. It’s been humbling. I am blessed to be surrounded by the people I love. I thank them for their patience and grace.”

Lauer’s actions, disclosed in a Variety investigation that reported the accounts of current and former NBC News staffers as well as three women who identified themselves as victims of sexual harassment by the anchor, formed the lead story on the Thursday broadcast of “Today,” the show he called home for more than two decades. NBC News confirmed that more women had come forward to make allegations about Lauer’s behavior since management received word from a woman earlier this week. NBC News decided within a day of hearing those first complaints to terminate Lauer from his job, where he has greeted several generations of morning-news viewers. […] – MSN

Wow you really went in on this post DJ. I was a little nervous about speaking up on this because I see a trend happening. As soon as somebody says a man was inappropriate he get fired. Now if a man really did do the things he is accused of he should get fired. But now it looks like companies are not even doing full investigations but reacting. They are just playing follow the leader because the precedent has been set that as soon as you hear something you fire. This is going to eventually cause a problem and maybe even a lawsuit. I am all for firing somebody who did wrong just do the investigating and cover the bases to be fair before taking somebody down. That way you avoid a slip up. But the best line of the whole article was this

If society is TRULY outraged and wants to completely end the careers of men who have been sexually inappropriate toward women, then it’s time to end the career of the man living at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. He is the biggest sexual pervert of them all!
