What, possibly, did this woman have to gain from suing O'Reilly if she doesn't have tapes??? Not one thing. She's not stupid. If what she says is true, she had every reason to fear for her career. If she doesn't have proof, she's an idiot for suing him because her career is over.
O'Reilly's in deep trouble on this one, boys.
Somehow I doubt going after O'Reilly and Fox News will hurt her career.
( University speaking invitations, Hollywood on the Left Coast...if you catch my drift)
A settlement/extortion?
Or, are there bigger issues here. The bringing down of FOX, passionate conservatism and Bush?
The timing is suspicious.
I'd like to hear her side of the phone conversations....if they were engaged in a mutual affair it puts a different spin on the whole story.
Since BOR has talked briefly about the lawsuit HE filed on radio today, I'm guessing that his defense will be that this is an affair gone sour.
Except the facts don't back that up. Fox and O'Reilly bailed her out repeatedly during the time period in question. If anything, her position was more secure before this story broke than today.
She is clearly a pawn in a liberal plan to bring down O'Reilly and perhaps Fox News. She may even be a co-conspirator in a plot. Having said that, I think she does have tapes. But it makes no sense to tape it and never contact Fox management before demanding millions of dollars. The whole thing stinks.
What she had to gain: Possibly money, possibly she had a grudge based on personal reasons, possibly she has a political agenda, or maybe she is telling the truth...take your pick.
She's not stupid.
How do you know this?
If she doesn't have proof, she's an idiot for suing him because her career is over.
Perhaps she really is an idiot, perhaps she wanted money and only filed because O'Reilly filed first, perhaps she is what cBS would call an "unimpeachable source" (e.g. a complete nut job like Bill Burkett).
O'Reilly's in deep trouble on this one, boys.
Maybe. But I'm dubious.
