I agree. Far too many lightweight bimbos hired for their looks.

[b4me]

she’s no child, she choose poorly and deserves whatever comes of it.

I really like Charles Payne. Watch him a lot. This “woman” thing is getting out of hand. This broad deserves NOTHING!! You can’t say anything for fear of offending and if you do she has the upper hand. Charles’ cheating should be between him and his wife to work it out (or not). I hope he gets back on the air but I won’t hold my breath.

She knew it worked for Megyn’s affair with Brit Hume. Figured she’d give it a shot.

One big problem with office affairs, is what happens when it ends.

True, but there are fairly immediate effects as word gets around. And from direct observation it seems that they can't avoid the not so subtle looks and gestures signaling such. The double entendres on occassion lead one to believe that risk played a big part in the office affair. Usually a lower level employee bored with work susses it out and starts the whispers.

Then again sometimes they just don't care. Back in the early 70's some executive at Continental Can was shagging his secretary on his desk with the windows blinds wide open. We could see them clearly across Third Ave. Being a design firm we had the material at hand to whip up three or four Olympic style point cards which we pressed against our windows. Took a while for the gal to notice...much amusement ensued in our ranks.

I prefer the even cruder “ don’t shit where you eat.”

[bigbob]

well you can’t say she didn’t give it a fair shot...

[MayflowerMadam]

“Fox News really needs to lose the bimbos and hire serious journalists.”

Katherine Herridge and Jennifer Griffen are pretty good. Patti Ann Brown is good at what she does, i.e., reads the news, and would not be in the “bimbo” group.

So a 3 year affair is now magically sexual harassment?

[sevlex]

She used him - trading sex for favors. How is she not a prostitute?

That’s assuming is actually happened.

[Lexington Green]

Charlie broke the rules. Always pay the prostitute.

... oh yeah... and don’t cheat on your wife.

Yup. Case in point a former business associate of mine. He had an affair with a co-worker. He broke it off. She apparently did not like being dumped and reported him to management. They fired him, which tipped-off his wife that he had been having an affair. She divorced him. The guy ended up living in his car at one point.

If she did not work for Fox then her arguments seem pretty lame. How
did he coerce her? Sexual harassment usually involves the boss as the harasser.

A little two narrow between the eyes

The easiest solution to avoid this is to NOT GET MARRIED!

[Nifster]

Erma Gawd. In this day and age how is one coerced? All she had to do was go to HR. If there was retaliation one calls any reporter plus Gloria Allred

A few things to say here.

1. Saw this hours ago at http://www.whatfinger.com/

2. Really disappointed in Charles.

3. 3 years!, she’s definitely a Ho.

4. “his lawyer says he ‘categorically denies’ any acts of sexual harassment”
Adultery, flirting with your Ho at you own birthday party, in front of your wife, is NOTHING, but “sexual harassment”? OMG! How dare you Charles? The SH phrase.

I agree that it isn’t “sexual harassment”. Charles was not the one who barred her from appearing further on Fox. It was Bill Shine.

Having said that, I hope he is finished at Fox. His sins were far worse than “sexual harassment”. I hope his wife throws him out on his A$$! Makes him PAY through the nose.

THREE YEARS!!!! Shame, shame, shame.

I used to like Charles Payne, that is until I found out he was involved with a pump and dump scam that fleeced a family friend for most of his life savings.
