No charges have been filed. But what we know is that the alleged victim is from Canada but lived here in Philadelphia and worked at Temple University for at least two years. And police say she is now making these allegations after leaving town more than nine months ago. Canadian police told NBC 10 that a Toronto-area woman...

Bill O'Reilly, one of the most ardent defenders of Christmas interviewed Peter Boyles of KHOW 630am radio about the talk radio and grass roots movement that put Christmas back into the annual Parade of Lights celebration here in Denver, Colorado. The local talk show hosts here in Denver who led the charge were Gunny Bob Newman, Mike Rosen, Donna Star all on KOA 850am and Dan Caplis on KHOW 630am. Add to that the coverage on FoxNews, Michelle Malkin's Lump of Coal campaign idea and the grass roots effort from the great Americans in our state and electronic activism from...

(12/05/04 - AUSTIN) — A state lawmaker says an election challenge against Sen. Mario Gallegos by his former opponent and ex-mistress should be dismissed. Susan Delgado had contended that the Houston Democrat lived in the 11th District, even though he represents the 6th District. Senator Jeff Wentworth, who was appointed as a special master in the case by Lieutenant Gov. David Dewhurst, said he based his recommendation on qualifications for a state senator described in the Texas Constitution, not on residency requirements outlined in the election code. Wentworth, a Republican from San Antonio, said the petition does not state the...

DENVER - Three months after prosecutors dropped a sexual assault charge against Kobe Bryant, attorneys for the NBA star prepared to return to court for the first hearing in a civil lawsuit filed by his accuser. Neither Bryant nor the 20-year-old woman was expected in federal court for Wednesday's hearing in the suit, which seeks unspecified damages for pain, ridicule and scorn the woman says she has suffered since her encounter with Bryant at a Vail-area resort in June 2003. "Now it becomes a question of whether he or she are looking for some form of public vindication through a...

The Clinton Presidential Center and Library opens this week in Little Rock. Like him or not, we must admit that William Jefferson Clinton leaves a powerful legacy, one that vastly expands the ability of political leaders to misbehave and remain in office. One of the most embarrassing but in many ways illuminating endeavors of academics, media pundits, and certain recent inhabitants of the White House, is to focus on something called a “Presidential Legacy.” Bill Clinton spent an inordinate amount of time “building” his. Of course, most presidential legacies take years to develop and evolve. Harry Truman, for example, was...

When Andrea Mackris was dumped by her fiancé in early 2002, her boss, cable-TV host Bill O'Reilly, took her out to dinner. No longer supported by her lawyer partner of eight years, Daniel Slatopolski, the hard-working and aggressive career woman needed a shoulder to cry on — and more money. . .

History has shown that the neutral position is the most dangerous position to take. Unfortunately for Bill O'Reilly, the host of Fox News' O'Reilly Factor and the target of sexual harassment lawsuit, his attempts at reasonableness are neither liberal enough for the hard left nor conservative enough for the solid right. Conservatives bite the hand that feeds them when they fail to recognize that O'Reilly, in his position as an independent moderate, provides the perfect doorway through which a maturing, political aficionado can pass as he discovers the dangerous liberal slant of the mainstream media. (Certainly, a budding neo-con does...

O'Reilly Hit With Sex Harass Suit Female Fox coworker details lewd behavior of cable TV star OCTOBER 13--Hours after Bill O'Reilly accused her of a multimillion dollar shakedown attempt, a female Fox News producer fired back at the TV star today, filing a lawsuit claiming that he subjected her to repeated instances of sexual harassment and spoke often, and explicitly, to her about phone sex, vibrators, threesomes, masturbation, the loss of his virginity, and sexual fantasies. Below you'll find a copy of Andrea Mackris's complaint, an incredible page-turner that quotes O'Reilly, 55, on all sorts of lewd matters. Based...

(antiTainment) Fox News has asked a judge to allow them to fire the woman that sued talk show host Bill O'Reilly for sexual harassment and to declare that the firing not be classified as retribution. Andrea Mackris, is an associate producer for "The O'Reilly Factor" on the cable news network. Last Wednesday, the network and O'Reilly sued her and her attorney, Benedict Morelli, claiming that they had tried to extort $60 million in "hush money" from the controversial host in return for her dropping her harassment case. The 33-year-old Mackris filed the sexual harassment suit against O'Reilly the same day....

TV host Bill O'Reilly suffered "the worst day of my life" yesterday after being thrust into a sleazy sex scandal - one so explosive, it has forced the talk-show loudmouth into silence. "I have been advised to keep my big mouth shut, and I have promised to do that," O'Reilly told the Daily News from his Fox News studio yesterday. But he didn't. "This has been the worst day of my life," O'Reilly said. "I am getting hounded by the press, and I knew I would be. I knew that they were going to kill me, but what am I...

<p>I hate to wade back into the culture wars forced upon us by Bill Clinton's unjustified impeachment, but since many right-wingers have leapt to pummel the former president on his book tour, those of us not blinded by hate, ideology and a lust for power should at least pitch in with a rebuttal. To that end, here's a short list of better ways to think about Clinton's tenure. Post it on the fridge for handy reference.</p>

NEW YORK — Following the screening of a documentary about his presidency, Bill Clinton told the audience that he became an enemy of right wing America in an attack led by Whitewater prosecutor Kenneth Starr. "The Hunting of the President," a movie about what filmmakers Harry Thomason and Nickolas Perry call a political smear campaign against Clinton, was show to a crowded New York University theater Wednesday. The documentary premiered in Little Rock, Ark., on Tuesday. Clinton, who addressed a group of about 1,000 people, said Starr was "the instrument of a grand design." He said the roots of...

Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry (news - web sites) delivered an unabashed defense of abortion rights on Friday just hours after a top Vatican (news - web sites) cardinal said that priests must deny Communion to Catholic politicians who support abortion rights. Several other Catholic politicians said they, too, had no intention of altering the way they practice their religion or their politics. With hundreds of Catholic politicians in the United States supporting abortion rights, the trans-Atlantic counterpoint was only the latest sign that the issue promises to be a recurrent one on the U.S. campaign trail this year....

What You Don’t Know About John KerryChuck Noe, NewsMax.comTuesday, Jan. 20, 2004With his win in Iowa, Sen. John Kerry could be on his way to the White House. But most Americans are unaware of the real Kerry. Here are facts and quotations that reveal the character of the new Democrat leader. Denouncing America with ‘Hanoi’ Jane: Although Wesley Clark and others have attacked former front-runner Howard Dean as a draft-dodging ski bum, Kerry is far more complex than the simple war hero he portrays himself as. He became a celebrated organizer for one of America's most extreme appeasement groups, Vietnam...

WITH Senator John Kerry all but having won the right to challenge George Bush this November, two phrases will begin to be heard more often. They are "buyers’ remorse" and "the Kerry bubble". Indeed, they are already being heard, as some liberal commentators worry that their party may have just made a dreadful mistake. It has become fashionable to compare Howard Dean’s campaign to the dotcom revolution that promised the world, but left its investors out of pocket and, in many cases, ruined. Less noticed has been the replacement of Dean-mania by the Kerry bubble. Democrat primary voters have...

Bill Maher has made another stab at career suicide. The Bush-bashing comic stunned some of Hollywood's most powerful liberals by joking about Bill Clinton's sexual indiscretions at a benefit honoring Sen. Hillary Clinton. New York's junior Senator was accepting an Oceana Partners award in Los Angeles last Wednesday for her work on environmental issues. Maher emceed the event, which also honored marine explorer Jean-Michel Cousteau, as well as Ron Howard and his Imagine partner, Brian Glazer. Among the unamused in the audience were Oceana board member Ted Danson, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kiefer Sutherland, Diane Lane, Josh Brolin, Jake Gyllenhaal and Kirsten...

<p>As House speaker, he secured GOP control of Congress; he's still a whirlwind of ideas.</p> <p>WASHINGTON -- As Americans head into a contentious election year, one of the most prominent political figures holds no office. Five years after he resigned as speaker of the House of Representatives, Newt Gingrich continues to shape government through the enduring legacy of Republican congressional control that he almost single-handedly achieved in the watershed elections of 1994.</p>

Former President Bill Clinton, seizing the Democratic stage, offered one of his strongest denunciations of President George W. Bush since leaving office as he tried to rally Democrats here around candidates who have yet to stir the excitement he did in 1992. . Speaking without notes or a prepared text on Saturday night, Clinton invoked the circumstances of the 2000 presidential election as he argued that the Bush administration had squandered the domestic and foreign policy gains he had made in his eight years in office. . "That election was not a mandate for radical change, but that is what...

Clinton Haters Look to Mock His Library Tue Jul 22,12:24 PM ET span> By DAVID HAMMER, Associated Press Writer LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - Just a few blocks from the future site of Bill Clinton 's $160 million presidential library, a couple of Clinton haters hope to open a museum devoted to mocking his presidency.   "As long as he's talking, we'll have to be here trying to keep him somewhat honest and stop him from rewriting history," says John LeBoutillier, a former Republican congressman from New York who rode Ronald Reagan 's coattails to victory in 1980.

July 28 issue — When Kobe Bryant was arrested two weeks ago after a 19-year-old Colorado woman accused him of sexual assault, the reaction from friends and fans was almost universal: that’s just not like Kobe.

Krieger: Nothing's 'fine' for Bryant now July 19, 2003 It was just a week ago that Kobe Bryant was confidently assuring the Los Angeles Times, "It will all be fine. You'll see." Why he would say this is just one of the mysteries surrounding him now. It will not be fine. Whatever happens next, it will not be fine. Bryant became a national favorite with a combination of good looks and spectacular basketball ability, and you probably have to make him a favorite in Eagle County, too. The Kobe defense team already includes Hal Haddon, who represented John and Patsy...

missus clinton: BILL CLINTON ISN'T THE ONLY RAPIST I GOT OFF(Tell It Early, . . . Tell It Yourself )   by Mia T, 6.30.03   Diane [Blair] and I regularly met for lunch in the Student Union. We always chose a table by the big windows that looked out toward the Ozark Hills and share [sic] stories and gossip. She and I also spent long hours with Ann at the Henrys' backyard pool.

If it's allowed to stand, an FCC ruling will feed media merger mania BY BILL CLINTON "It's your money," says President Bush when he promotes tax cuts. I disagree with his tax policy but admire his spin. The same argument applies with greater force to whether big media conglomerates should be allowed to control more television and radio stations: "It's your airwaves." The American people own the bandwidth that broadcast media companies use to deliver programs to our TV and radio sets. Because the space on that bandwidth is limited, the Federal Communications Commission regulates who has access to our...

Clinton and Bush First published: Saturday, June 28, 2003 Comparisons between Bill Clinton and George W. Bush persist. I don't ever recall the specter of the last president looming so large over the incumbent as Clinton looms over Bush. The nation must be close to evenly divided over which one has been the better president. If you are going to argue their merits as leaders, you have to exclude their personal shortcomings. George W. had a drinking problem and now his opponents are accusing him of being a liar. Bill Clinton's appetite was not for alcohol but he lied and...

<p>BILL Clinton and his "close friend," sexy Canadian billionaire Belinda Stronach, seem to be enjoying one another's company more and more - and sightings of them together have north-of-the-border media types buzzing.</p> <p>PAGE SIX first reported last fall that the former prez had gotten cozy with beautiful blonde Stronach, 37, CEO of auto-parts giant Magna International Inc., at a birthday bash for rocker Ronnie Hawkins in Toronto.

For those who have paid attention, it is obvious that Juanita Broaddrick is a compelling witness. She lived a nightmare that she always wanted to be private but that became public. Juanita never wanted to testify. That is why she made the initial mistake of signing an affidavit that came from Bruce Lindsey, who was quite a behind the scenes fixer and apparently also an affidavit mill. Talk about a lowlife with no conscience. When she had to testify under oath, Juanita told the truth as she lived it. She came forward reluctantly. She had government contracts that could be...

Sidney Blumenthal's "The Clinton Wars" has been serialized by Salon. Here are ten reasons why you should watch Salon's "commercial" and then read the installments. All of them (one, two, three, four, five). 1. He related a conversation he had had with Senator Alan Simpson, the Republican from Wyoming, who was retiring. "You know there's nothing wrong that Hillary and I did in Whitewater," Clinton told him. "Of course," Simpson replied. "We all know there's nothing there. It was just politics. And it just got out of hand." 2. Chief Justice Rehnquist...had been chilly and inexpressive toward the president throughout...

Ex-President Bill Clinton "sexually molested" a female steward aboard Air Force One and was later forced to apologize to the woman, a bombshell new book by White House whistleblower, Lt. Col. Robert Patterson reveals. The identity of the woman, an enlisted member of the Air Force, is being protected by Lt. Col. Patterson. But the searing new account of a commander-in-chief preying upon a military subordinate could spell trouble for New York Sen. Hillary Clinton, who, as a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, would have jurisdiction to investigate the incident. In "Dereliction of Duty: The Eyewitness Account of...

HE WAS only married to Marilyn Monroe for nine turbulent months, but Joe DiMaggio, the reclusive US baseball legend, vowed he would never forgive the Kennedys for her death. Now, four years after his own demise, the man immortalised by Simon and Garfunkel in the song Mrs Robinson appears to have his revenge. A new book, written by his long-time lawyer and close companion Morris Engelberg, reveals he really did believe the Kennedy clan killed Monroe. "They murdered the one person I loved," DiMaggio confided to Mr Engelberg. Officially, Monroe, who allegedly enjoyed affairs with both John Kennedy, the US...

<p>Former President Bill Clinton yesterday said he had been "demonized" for trying to change the nation's health care system, and called for an attempt to find a "bipartisan solution" to improve health care in the country.</p> <p>"I think it's quite interesting that the worst congressional losses that the Democrats suffered in the last 60 years was the midterm for Harry Truman and my first midterm, and it both happened after we tried to fix health care and we were demonized" for trying to have the government pay for it, Mr. Clinton said.</p>
