Dirty Old Man of the Year.


William Donald Schaefer -- former governor of Maryland and current State Comptroller -- has created quite a stir this week due to some really gross sexist behavior, reports the Washington Post. This was followed by his feelings being hurt when questioned about it.

At a State Board of Public Works Meeting, 84-year old Schaefer was brought a cup of tea by Gov. Robert Ehrlich's 24-year old administrative aide. After watching her ass intently as she walked away, he motioned for her to come back and said, "Walk again," in front of the other 100 people present.

When questioned about his lewd behavior, he said responded that "this little girl" should be "happy that I observed her going out the door," and then claimed that he�s the one who should be offended for being inquired about it.

His habit of calling women "little girls" actually extends to his office, where women who have worked for him in the past haven't been offended, says Louise L. Hayman, Schaefer's aide. "It sounds like he's demeaning you, but what he's really saying is he respects you," she continued. I'm sure that's what she tells her little self every day.

I guess you can't be surprised about this considering his history: He once complained about a Spanish-speaking McDonald�s clerk and also suggested the formation of a public registry of HIV-positive people.

I wrote about this on my blog yesterday as well. If you live in Maryland, I recommend emailing Mr. Schaefer and letting him know that his attitude and behavior are unacceptable: wdschaefer@comp.state.md.us
