Well, i DID say he was a fool!
LOL!
hehehe
If that were true, She and her shyster lawyer would have wired her and gotten the FOX execs also!
That's true.
Did you know that while at CNN, her boss was terminated for sexual harrassment?
Kerry also gains. Remember, gore lost by 537 votes!
Losers: FOX, O'Reilly, Bush, Compassionate Conservatives.
But so far, it seems not to have effected the populace.
Was she involved in that are just taking notes for future use? You know the details?
What tapes? How can one be FORCED into phone sex? Be serious, you hang up the phone....
Sorry this whole story at least at the detail level doesn't pass the smell test.
She QUIT FOX to go to CNN, and then begged to come back to FOX?? The majority of her dates of claim of abuse were before she left for CNN the first time... her co workers even at CNN say she idolized O'Reilly.
At this point, at least as to what has come out in the press, this has all the markings of a lover or one who desires to be a lover, scorned and lashing out in revenge.
Perhaps he was just excited that he'd won a grant from the NEA?
I'm a married man and I've talked with women and joked with them as well about sex, sex toys, and still flirt more than when I was single. However its ALL talk and my wife knows about it etc... just because one talks or flirts does not mean one strays.
That's suspicious.
Bull, if he's being lied about, or crimes against him or his character it is no less a crime than if it were a staunch conservative. We live in a nation of laws, and all men are supposed to be equal under them. If we start picking and choosing who the law applies to just because of their political bent, then the country has failed already.
Does this mean O'Reilly is going to be coming out with some new Factor Gear. He could add an "adults only" line of Factor Crap. Talk about a no spin zone.
No details. Just a statement in the FOX/O'Reilly filing.
"At this point, at least as to what has come out in the press, this has all the markings of a lover or one who desires to be a lover, scorned and lashing out in revenge."
Hey, if she thinks somebody talking dirty to her ruined her life, she's a whacko to begin with.
The answer is obvious: she was "setting him up".
More immediately to the point, unless she told him she was recording the conversations, they are illegal and inadmissible in court.
Give it a rest. She had the perfect opportunity to repeatedly hang up and nail him for harrassment and stalking. Nice and neat and clean and unequivocal.
She didn't.
This woman is a sexual harrassment magnet, apparently, she put herself a second time in a position of being "sexually harrassed". Methinks this loser has (more than ) a few emotional and psychological problems.
"If she illegally taped him wo/ his permission, she's got a felony charge to answer to, and the tapes are inadmissable evidence."
Only a few jurisdictions make taping your own conversation illegal. Illinois is one, and the state where Linda Tripp made recordings (Maryland?) is the other.
This is as opposed to surreptitious recordings of conversations of which you are not a party - that is clearly "eavesdropping" when the conversation is not otherwise public.
In the Linda Tripp case, that jurisdiction made it a felony to record one's own conversation - imputing a (fictional, in my opinion) right to privacy in what one person tells another, enforceable against the authorized "tellee" (!), and only with respect to one medium (audible recordings). If Linda Tripp had only hired a transcriptionist to make a written record of the conversation, or dicated it from memory later on, and published it in a magazine article, she would have been fine.
Of course Bill was at best stupid to have engaged in this type of behavior. Yet by her not hanging up nor complaining to Fox, he might well have assumed that she liked it. In any case, she could always have hanged up.
In any case her statements reveal she is not the brightest. I agree with those here who say she should be fired for stupidity.
As for being political, BOR has taken on Rev. Jesse J., the ACLU, corrupt lawyers such as Feldman, and others.
This scandal will attract the Stern crowd (since Stern lost his show), which I figure BOR might have been after with some of the truly sleazy quests he had now and then on the show.
