A(Dec. 15) -- Heidi Jones, a weather anchor for ABC's New York City affiliate and an occasional forecaster on "Good Morning America," was suspended today after being arrested for allegedly lying to police about being sexually assaulted.

The WABC-TV weather anchor told police last month that a Hispanic man tried to rape her while she was jogging in Central Park on Sept. 24. But Jones has since admitted making the whole thing up, police told AOL News today. WABC-TV announced the suspension today during a noon broadcast.

Better yet, lock him up with her, just to make sure he’s learned his lesson about staying away from feminazis.

I’m just tweaking you. :) I’ve posted properly and had it all messed up. Oh well. we all live through it, but, your snip was fun.... I couldn’t resist.

I know, you’ll police me and I deserve it. Rock on, we’re all in for the fight, remove liberals. Isn’t that the bottom line?

She's tall, athletic, a little goofy. Not so much photogenic as telegenic . . . or is it the magic of professional make-up artists?

I wonder if the NY Road Runners Club will be taken all of her pics down.

Whoa! I have visited this thread today and that is NOT Heidi “butterface” Jones. Kudos on the proper and magnificent representation of “weatherbabe”.

If you watch the video enough times, you will eventually see the weather map. How could you post such a thing? You should be punished.

Gee, I used to know a Heidi who had braids and who tended goats and who had a kindly old grandfather with a long white beard.

This one ain't THAT Heidi, I guess.

It doesn't take much talent to do the weather on TV. Contrary to popular belief, you don't need to be an actual meteorologist. You just need to look good on TV and know your way around a whiteboard while you regurgitate the forecast you pulled off the printer.

Actually a good gimmick will get you hired as a TV weather gal. I always wondered why some enterprising young woman hasn't thought to change her name to "Alberta Clipper" - she would get hired at a Boston station in a heartbeat (we get a lot of Albert Clippers around here.)

THANK YOU for posting that magnificent specimen of feminity!

Re your tagline, maybe it could be updated. Way more than half are sheeple these days.

Noted. (See update.)

Thanks.
