Hey, Roger–that was a compliment!

Ailes can release the details of the settlements in his sexual harassment lawsuits (I believe they’ve settled, but may still be outstanding). Then the News can publicize them and have more information about issuing an apology. Or not.

NY Daily News reports, you decide.

Right, Roger?

There’s nothing in there about any apologies.

Why? He doesn’t think he is old?

But you’re rational and have standards.

I grew up in western Pennsylvania, saw 80% of the girls who turned 14 dive into blue eye shadow addiction, and after a bit of non-approved public education realized that the Appalachians were very much in play outside of the mixed ethnic urban zones. The pinched face scottish/irish protestant women and the lanky men of the hollows were everywhere.

Someone like Roger who looked like he had some cash two weeks after payday would just have to wait.

Actually, I think the response was: "Ha. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Hardy-har-har-har-har, ha-ha-ha, hardy-ha-ha-ha-ha … "

Gropey Old Man seems like the correct lablel to me, or would he prefer Sexual Predator.

LOL. O, god, I do remember that. Growing up in the mountains of northwestern Virginia in the late '70s and early '80s, I remember that fashion craze. Fuck, that was ugly. Thank goodness, I am gay and didn’t have to worry about it – but the men had either a mullet or permed hair … or both. Ugh!! Permed hair, per se, isn’t necessarily bad, but the poofiness and mile-high dos didn’t do much for me.

Please oh please sue, I wold love to hear all the Fox ummm reporters (bimbos doesn’t seem appropriate) giving testimony under oath. The world doesn’t have enough popcorn.

Does this mean he will cop to serial lechery and using his power to force himself on women, just not the “gropey” part… or is it being called “old” that offends him?

Daily News should ask him to explain why he is no longer at FOX and why Gretchen Carlson got a boat load of money. And whether Tantaros made it all up too. Lot of nerve these old sexual predators have, demanding apologies and the like.

If they’d used a Cavuto mark (“Gropey Old Man?”) in the headline, I’m sure Ailes would be okay with it.

Shorter Ailes: I built FOX and I know what allegations mean.

No, it’s because he thought that “gropey” was spelled without an “e.”

Hey, they didn’t call him Jabba the Hut. He should count his lucky stars.
