At least seven women have now come forward to accuse San Diego Mayor Bob Filner of unwanted sexual advances, but Democratic women politicians have been conspicuously silent on the matter of the handsy harasser.
For years, Nancy Pelosi had enabled former colleague Filner’s behavior:

After initially downplaying their friendship, Pelosi at last courageously pronounced that Filner’s conduct was “reprehensible”:

Perhaps Nancy’s tortoise-like initiative inspired her friend Debbie Wasserman Schultz. The DNC chair has finally spoken out against filthy Filner:

Well, nice to see that she got around to addressing the War on Women eventually, right?
“The misconduct Mayor Bob Filner has been accused of is reprehensible and indefensible. I am personally offended by his actions and I firmly believe no employee should face a hostile environment or harassment at their place of employment. There is no place for this type of conduct in the workplace and certainly not in our city halls and public offices.
“For the good of the City of San Diego, I call on Mayor Filner to resign.”
Gee, Debbie. What a bold stance.

@michellemalkin Did DWS remember to blame Filner's behavior on sequestration and 8 years of Bush? If not, she's slipping.

You know what personally offends us, Debbie? The fact that a woman who claims to work tirelessly to combat misogyny and the mistreatment of other women couldn’t bother to comment on a serial pervert until today.

Janey-come-latelys. RT @KatrinaTrinko So it took Wasserman Schultz at least over two weeks to call on Filner to resign

Only took 2 weeks and 7 women. #forward RT @ajjaffe: DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz calls on San Diego Mayor Filner to resign.

How many more weeks — and victims — will it take before she confronts the other sickos infesting the Democratic Party?

Hello Debbie, tell me more about how you build women up by staying silent when your friend sends them pics of his junk. @DWStweets

Her silence speaks volumes.
