Harvey Weinstein’s Fern Emporium

The New York Times which broke open the bombshell exposé of movie mogul Harvey Weinstein’s decades-long history of sexual harrassment on October 5th is now also reporting sixteen former and current executives and assistants at The Weinstein Co. and Miramax either witnessed or knew of Weinstein's unwanted sexual advances. 
Reporting from Entertainment Weekly and the Huffington Post (I refuse to link) reveals a local New York reporter for News12 Long Island, Lauren Sivan, alleges in 2007 Weinstein ejaculated in front of her into a potted plant near the vestibule leading to the kitchen of Cipriani, an Italian restaurant located in Manhattan.
Sivan came forward after The New York Times report which documented “decades” of sexual harassment allegations against Weinstein, who was officially terminated from The Weinstein Company on Sunday night.
For five solid days since the story broke, repeated inquiries from a whole host of reporters to the offices of Obama and Clinton about this sexual deviant have gone unanswered. Finally today Clinton’s former campaign manager, Nick Merrill, tweeted her tepid 38-word response.  It’s interesting she didn’t tweet it out herself.  I guess she’s still too “bewildered, angry and confused” to field the criticism that tweet would garner.
