Bill O'Reilly SETTLES!

[Destro]

Just reported on NBC News

[Rennes Templar]

She must've had tapes. I knew he was guilty. Her story was too detailed to concoct. Now when we view "The Factor" we'll be watching "the pervert".

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

Loofah's for EVERYONE!!

[wardaddy]

He should be fired and replaced with someone with more character and balls.

Like Laura Ingraham.


Ok Roger, Rupert, Lachlan....whoever is minding the store.

Let him carry his sorry ass back to the Old Media where he belongs.

Jerkoff traitor Swifty basher.....I'd like to personally kick his arrogant arse.

[Destro]

Correction: There is a settlement.

And how does that differ from my title "Bill O'Reilly SETTLES!"??????

I don't think details will come out about the settlement - as is custom for such settlements.

[ml1954]

He settled when he first picked the phone up however many years ago that was.

"Correction: There is a settlement. That likely means Mackris gets little or nothing.

"

Not so fast, there. I'm sure there was money involved. $4million seems to be the number being bandied about. Not chump change.

[RWRbestbyfar]

Is he guilty?

Little primer for you non-lawyers from a lawyer: there was never any criminal prosecution, so the term "guilty" would never be applicable to this case. The terminology is "liable" or "not liable" for the alleged acts of sexual harassment.

I must assume that the settlement agreement will contain a standard "by settling, nobody admits anything" clause, so history will be the only judge.

[Highwayman53]

O'Reily's wife can't be all too happy about this. I always thought Bill was a slime ball.

[jackbill]

But then, there is always his wife. What does she think of her philandering husband. Or is he going to keep the details of the settlement secret even from her?

I suspect that she's shopping for a good divorce lawyer, or at least a contractor to put an additional bedroom on the house.

[MineralMan]

Yeah. I think the big "O" is toast.

[Lx]

I bet his stock went up in bubba's eyes!

Someone will end up with the tapes. I'm sure a respected journalist like Larry Flynt will get them.

[badpacifist]

Settlement usually means guilt. If he was guilty then he ain't as smart as he thinks he is because she just outsmarted him.

[ml1954]

Would you settle if you weren't?

I'm curious what the settlement actually was. I'd like to see it in print.

Maybe he agreed not to tie her sorry as$ up in court for the next zillion years.

Maybe he just made a financial decision....cheaper to give her a mil than pay far more than that in lawyers and smeared reputation.

[Crawdad]

And a life supply of batteries.

[marty60]

she probably set his A** up and he's so arrogant, he didn't even realize it. she had more than tapes I bet.

[sinkspur]

Because you implied that O'Reilly caved. In reality, it was Mackris who started the settlement talks, last week.

If she had a case, she would go to court. As it is, she likely got pocket change and a reputation as a ball-buster.

But if you noticed his ratings went thru the roof !!!
All his new best friends (libs) filling in the vacant spots conservatives left.
