Bachmann said, “If that had been Michelle Obama, who’d come out on the stage, and if that song had been played for Michelle Obama, I have no doubt that NBC would have apologized to her and likely they would have fired the drummer, or at least suspended him.”
She believes this show a bias on the part of the media, saying, “This is clearly a form of bias on the part of the Hollywood entertainment elite.
The author then goes on to excuse it all, and to blame enemies of OWS for publicizing the rapes that have taken place as part of some sort of smear campaign against OWS.
The problems with OWS and its supporters goes far beyond a woman problem.
She cites him [Schweizer
] in the first paragraph of her Wall Street Journal op-ed today on, of all things, Occupy. However, the title is very misleading: How Congress Occupied Wall Street.

Mr. Schweizer answers the questions so many of us have asked. I addressed this in a speech in Iowa last Labor Day weekend.

Grey has been noted as an ex-porn star since, according to IMDB :
On April 8, 2011, she announced her retirement from adult films on her official page on Facebook.
Her mainstream work (Entourage) is still vastly outnumbered by her body of work in the adult film world. A sample of those titles include, presented without comment:
