Maryland's Anne Arundel County Executive John Leopold cannot catch a break, because all these rejected dates from the past, these women, will not quit yammering about his libido.
Leopold's tumultuous Year of Sex began a few months ago, when Annapolis police got a complaint about him and some gal possibly diddling around in the back seat of his car, in the mall parking lot. The public was willing to forget that, because eww.
But then earlier this month, two women -- a current county employee and Leopold's former spokesperson -- went public with harassment accusations. The county employee claimed that, while standing in an office lunch line, he repeatedly asked her on a sexy date to show her his sexy body. His former spokeslady, meanwhile, recalled how he went nuts over her hairstyle (??).
Which brings us to today's two *new* lady-accusers, who come armed with the requisite bizarro details.
Rajean French worked as an assistant to Leopold in 1999, when he was a state delegate. One of her duties was to serve as Leopold's wing-man whenever he acted on one of his teenage hormonal kicks:
When he met women at community meetings, political gatherings or other functions, he would sometimes ask French to contact them and ask them to meet with him...
"If he didn't like the answers I got, he would call me at home and ask, 'Are you sure she said it this way? You must have gotten it wrong,' because the reaction wasn't always positive," said French, 56.
The second new accuser, Terry Owens, a community affairs organizer, says she met Leopold in a library parking lot seven years ago, and from then on he asked her out every three seconds -- even after she told him she was married with children. "The next morning before she arrived to work at 9 a.m., Leopold had called her office repeatedly within the span of half an hour," Owens tells the Washington Post.
Can someone in John Leopold's office just buy the boss one of those blow-up dolls already?
