” If you think someone who was truly sexually harassed is going to be bought off for a mere $35,000, you are delusional. “
They say that’s a pretty good chunk of change for the ninties. If you’re not impressed with thirty five grand for just one of three women who were sick of his shlick, I can’t help you. The guy may have leaked it himself, if he thought it would give one opportunity to rag, again, against Perry. Ole Herb can’t seem to let go of Rick Perry. It’s become an obsession, far more than minding his own business and running a race.

Who is “they”? And you’d better stop listening to “they” because “they” are ignorant.
To put the $35,000 in context, the average annual wage in 1990 was $21,000; in 2010 it was $41,700. (http://www.ssa.gov/oact/cola/AWI.html) So, no, $35,000 was peanuts as far as a settlement goes even back in the 1990s. And we are not talking about settlements; these women received *severance packages*.
I have had enough experience with this kind of thing to know *exactly* what a severance package of roughly one year’s salary means. It means the dismissed employee has got squat.
And all your silly “BWHAHAHAHA!!!”, “RIIIGGGGHHHHT”, “LOL!!!”, and “Gawwwwd” do not dissuade me from what I know from personal experience. Sorry.
