Trump's comments yesterday are notable for their crudeness and for the contempt for women they represent.  But I'm a little surprised, incredulous really, that anyone should be shocked or surprised by them.  While yesterday's tape came from some eleven years ago, Trump's contempt for women has been on full display throughout this campaign (both generically and specifically: O'Donnell, Kelly, Machado, et alia.)  What we heard Trump saying in the eleven year old tape we could have just as easily heard him saying eleven days ago, eleven minutes ago.  This is who he is.  It is not for nothing that I've been calling him "Dirty Donald" for several months.

Again: Trump's racism was also on full display again yesterday as he re-victimized the Central Park 5.  This is a thoroughly dishonest, nasty man -- and the fact that so-called Catholic "leaders" are aiding and abetting him in his filthy campaign for president is a scandal in its own right.  They must be ashamed, and they must say so.
