O'Reilly

Rushmore · #1 10-14-2004, 03:43 PM

I can't believe nobody started one yet, so here's a starter:

Holy [censored].

Based upon the complaint, it would appear that she has recordings of him saying this stuff. I say this because it's so precise, including pauses, etc.

I like O'Reilly as a news guy, but if he's on tape saying any or all of this stuff to an employee, I'm done watching him, and I imagine Fox News will deserve the black eye they'll have.

Actually, it might be a bit worse than a black eye. Call it a "massive headwound."

Even if it doesn't amount to a legal definition of Sexual Harassment (time will tell on that one), I wouldn't be surprised at all to see O'Reilly out of a job pretty soon as a direct result of this.

Grey links to the Smoking Gun report in his thread on the subject.

Some thoughts of the top of my head on the subject.

If she tapped him it will be evidence that she was trying to extort money from him.

If Fox News fires O' Reilly, I'm sure theres a place for him in the porn industry.

Based on what I read, it seems very unlikely that she was an unwillingly participant in the conversations and if she recorded then I am almost certain that it was a planned set up all along. More than lieky a blackmail attempt that he fell right into.

Is O'reilly married?

I think he is since Al Frankin said its a sad story and he feels sorry for O'Reilly's wife. Al said that he was mentioned in the Complaint, and felt he should make a brief comment. He said he felt sorry for Bill if its not true, he said we will have to wait and see...He also said he is changing the name of his show back to the "O'Frankin Factor", and laughed and said just kidding, and that was it. I haven't heard him mention anything else about the suit. He didn't go into details about cock shaped dildos (first I heard about it here), etc.

A similar sort of class would no doubt be shown by Conservative Talk Radio hosts.

What is with you ? You can't make a post without somehow making it into a dig on conservatives. You made a perfectly sensible post and then tack this nonsense on the end.

I made a dig at Conservative Radio hosts. I think they can take it. Rush made fun of Chelsea Clinton, he made barking noises making fun of a 12 year old girl. When Jerry Garcia dies, he said, well "just another druggie" died. What a hypocrite. A photo was taken of Abu Gareb with the caption, "Dog attacks Prisoner". Rush says no! the dog is just barking. More barking noises. Lot of laughs. It goes on and on. Real funny. After being shown another photo of the bloody man after the attack, he apologized. I guess you are right, he said he was sorry, he does have a lot of class.

Oh, and for your information, I have made dozens of posts without "making it into a dig on conservatives". Perhaps you missed my recent response to "AKo in the BB" or "Week 3 NFL picks" .

Perhaps I should have emphasized that that was one instance of Al Frankin demonstrating class. He did not pile on O'Reilly. He spend 1 min. on the matter, and moved on. He expressed his sympathies in an tasteful manner, and let it go. So he showed class, not to say he IS classy in general. He's not really, but he's not as hurtful as Rush, and he makes me laugh (although not as hard as I made you laugh...OMG! ROFL (how many exclamations? oh...!!!!!!)
