Boone County GOP Activist's Praise of Sorority Butts Draws Ire

http://www.riverfronttimes.com/newsblog/2015/10/12/boone-county-gop-activists-praise-of-sorority-butts-draws-ire
"Praise for a Mizzou sorority's "very nice butts" has a local Republican bigwig in hot water, with a campus Democratic club calling for his ouster — and for his organization to be banned from future homecoming events.

Frederick Berry, a previous candidate for the Missouri House and current chairman of the Columbia Pachyderm Club, was apparently walking in the University of Missouri's homecoming parade just behind the Delta Gamma sorority when he paused to tweet how much he enjoyed the view."

"Incidentally, soon after he marched in the parade, Berry headed over to an anti-abortion rally. No word on whether he again found himself in deep discussion over the female physique."

Pretty dumb to tweet about it, though. Kinda weird that a freebie St. Louis paper would write about a Columbia guy over this. He's pretty much a nobody.

They are the primary GOP activists here.

He ran for office a couple of yrs ago. And the main reason this made the news is that there have been a series of scandals with state legislators sexually harrassing interns. A significant number of interns are Mizzou students because of proximity to the capitol.

This is an example of another GOPer not taking that kind of harrassment seriously enough to not participate. Besides, I know the guy and I think he deserves any malignment that comes his way. Especially when it was such an obnoxious expression of misogyny.
