Grab Them by the Pussy?

“No, we’re good. This gentleman accidentally touched my breast and I accidentally broke his nose.”

You teach people how to treat you.

This is basic. And guess what? The rules here are ancient and pretty well known.

In fact, they are so well known that a million visitors have come and gone from the White House without incident from the Obama's two Portuguese Waterdogs.

The press corps and staff report that Sunny and Bo are models of decorum and, of course, they have been pawed at and fondled by thousands and thousands of people. These are very tolerant dogs, well-socialized and well-trained.

But every dog has its limits.  When an unnamed 18-year-old decided she would swoop in an "kiss" Sunny, without so much as an introduction, she got a small bite on the cheek for her rudeness and stupidity.

Good on Sunny.

Let me say this simply and clearly: If someone you do not know goes in to kiss you on the face without so much as an introduction, feel free to slap the teeth out of their head.

If they try to "grab you by the pussy," hit them so hard they will need a mortician and an anatomy professor to reassemble the body.

The notion that you can go up and just "grab the pussy" of anything and everything, known and unknown, is ridiculous.

And no, the world is not all click and treat as The New Yorker cartoon, at top, makes clear.  Humans are not always innocent, and dogs are not always guilty.
