NBC News fires Billy Bush after lewd Donald Trump tape airs
FOX News ^ | 10/17/2016 | Associated Depressed

Posted on 10/17/2016 4:56:13 PM PDT by usafa92

NEW YORK – NBC News has fired "Today" show host Billy Bush, who was caught on tape in a vulgar conversation about women with Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump before an "Access Hollywood" appearance.

Bush was suspended at the morning show two days after contents of the 2005 tape were reported on Oct. 7. NBC and Bush's representatives had been negotiating terms of his exit before Monday's announcement.

On the tape, Bush is heard laughing as Trump talks about fame enabling him to grope and try to have sex with women not his wife.

Bush later said he was "embarrassed and ashamed." Trump has since denied groping women.

Bush, who had been at "Today" for two months, is the nephew of Republican former President George H.W. Bush.

NBC, once the Nothing But Crap network is now the “No Bush Channel”. You don’t even have to change the letters.

Also known to friends and leftists as the “Nothing But Clinton” network, but don’t tell anyone.

I used to watch that entertainment show that Billy Bush was on but had to quit. All Billy and the other “journalist” talked about was homosexuals and Bruce Jenner. Oh my gosh, they love them homosexuals and cross-dressers.

Wonder if he’s sorry he bragged about having the tape..

I'm sure this just means he's retiring now, very wealthy. He has many years to enjoy the new yacht he's probably shopping for as we speak.

Re what is the woman holding in her hand that provoked the weird reaction from Hillary. Pick one or many:

1. Bill’s balls
2. A picture of Hillary’s girlfriend du jour
3. Hillary’s prescription for PROZAC
4. The White House’s bill for all the things she stole
5. A list of Bill’s girlfriends
6. Putin’s phone number
7. A photo of her secret email server
8. A photo of Huma and the Grand Ayatollah
9. A photo of Carlos “not so” Slim’s Slimjim
10. A photo of Amb. Smith

Hillary is really, really bad. She’s very bad. They have to make Trump look worse. That’s why people are shaking their heads about this election. “I’ve never seen an election like this...” It’s because of the filthy Clintons. It wasn’t so bad until Trump started running against Clinton. Now it’s in the sewer.

Check the contents of his safety deposit boxes scattered across the Caribbean for evidence of just how devastated he is over the news.

Whitewater! Bill and Hillary were eyeball deep in it.

But Prosecutor James Comey said the Clintons were the Only 2 in the whole scam that were totally innocent.

That depends what the definition of “fired” is. I’m going with the definition that he gets a nice little vacation until NBC declares Hillary the winner at 7:01 pm on Nov. 8. He’ll be signing his new contract with a nice bonus at 7:02.

NBC is full of shit, and just covering their asses with this Bill Bush/Donald Trump tape.

Billy Bush is being let go now, only because of the Trump allegations. But, they knew about the Access Hollywood tape for many years. So, now they’re pretending that they had no idea, simply because they needed to appear innocent and unknowing about Trump’s language 11 years ago, but they knew, but now, NBC had no choice but to protect themselves from the recording of 11 years ago, BECAUSE, NBC is part of the biased and colluding media trying to take down Trump. So, it’s not only Trump that NBC is taking down, but Billy Bush has to be the second scapegoat, just to protect NBC and make the network seem innocent, while in reality, there is no way that NBC and all of the people involved with Billy Bush’s show didn’t know what Trump had said. What Trump had said was probably thought of as macho-talk and locker-room garbage, but now, it’s got to be presented as the work of the devil and as the work of the “most devious and perverted person to ever run for president”, but it wasn’t anything that bothered NBC at all, those 11 years ago. Hipocrites!!!!
