Enjoying your “retirement,” Bill?

I know Laurie Dhue because my brother in law, who is an avid Fox viewer started watching the network because he thought she was hot. He would go on and on an on about her like a lunatic.

He went from being nonpolitical to a raging right-winger in a matter of a few years because the bullshit came from leggy blonds in high heels.

This is hilarious! He called them all liars and now they’re suing him for defamation of character. His attacks on his accusers, his claims that they fabricated their stories, are well documented. Assuming they can prove their claims, this seems a pretty slam dunk case that he’ll probably have to settle out of court. Since he’s no longer employed at Fox, wouldn’t this come out of his own pocket?

Can’t root for anyone in these cases because anyone who worked for Fox ‘News’ has effectively smeared themselves but I have to confess, given all the damage he’s done to facts, ideas, and people over the years, that seeing Bill’O slowly ground into gooey mush is not entirely unpleasing.

You cannot defame the character of an Fox employee.

Bill O’Reilly has given me the creeps since 1989. I’m an artist and back then I watched a lot of afternoon TV while I painted, including a new show, Inside Edition. David Frost was the host, briefly, and then one afternoon, there sat Bill O’Reilly, the new host.

The moment that man opened his mouth to introduce himself, I recoiled. He sounded phony and manipulative as hell, no matter what the topic was. My reaction was so strong and visceral that when my husband came home from work, I told him about that dreadful new guy who was ruining an otherwise not-totally-awful show. So you can imagine my surprise when O’Reilly had an audience and flourished there for many years.

And then came his popularity on Fox News. A perfect match for him.

I hope they take him to the cleaners!

But this time it will be his own money, not Faux’s. He might want to try to settle as quickly as possible. Lawyers aren’t cheap and the longer it takes, the more expensive the final payout will be.

It won’t happen, but a real apology where he admits he was wrong would help him a lot.

This is wonderful news for Bill O’Leilly. He’s a good christian conservative that’s visited the Pope in the VIP lane so he is absolved of all the sexual abuse he’s heaped on the women he worked with.

Given the plaintiff and defendant, apparently Satan will preside over this trial…

Word on the street is there will be an opening in the Trump Administration next week, Bill, can’t say which one yet, but you’re not qualified for any of them, which makes you Trump-qualified for all of them. Maybe you can get the American taxpayer to pony up for all these legal misunderstandings. Call it a door or a piece of furniture…

And not to mention the number of suits brought against him. I sure that lawyer’s don’t give a discount on suits by the bulk.

A former Fox News anchor filed a defamation lawsuit on Thursday over comments by Bill O’Reilly it says were meant to damage the reputations of women who have accused him of harassment.

No quarter.

You’d have to prove they have character in order to defame it.
