Bummer. I guess in the real Watters World Jesse is going to have to figure out how to speak into his own microphone for the foreseeable future.

Good God, is there ever a point that doesn’t fly just completely over these idiots’ heads? And yes, us lefties respect women. Sorry that offends you, asshole. Have fun explaining your sick joke to your kids.

News coverage accepts the false premise that Fox is the private business of the Murdochs and they can do as they please with their business. Fox parent 20th Century Fox is a publicly traded company.The implications of this fact are really not understood in the press reporting.

The Murdoch’s control of Fox is in serious jeopardy. You can’t run a publicly traded company as a family slush fund. The securities investigations are just beginning and soon the shareholders will start demanding to be heard.

This is a really big story not being told/heard because of focus on the grab-ass.

Ah, poor little Jesse just can’t help himself. He is just another in a long line of immature, moronic talking heads on Fox. I only hope this “vacation” becomes a permanent absence from the air waves.

Uh huh…You are a creep. FIRST OFF, you can respect women and STILL ‘boo and hiss’ when they do something you don’t like and secondly, you are not fooling anyone when your entire schtick is to denigrate women and NOW you like her voice? Oh yeah.

Why is he still there, isn’t he O’Reilly’s toadies … or is he a flunky!!! It’s all very confusing. If he had any loyalty he’d climb on BillO’s pyre.

I saw the excuse he offered that he was talking about her whispy voice (which isn’t even a defense because it still sexualized her). However, the hand motion he offered while making the microphone comment totally negated his defense anyway

Someone remind me how many digs–sexual or not–that FoxNews personalities made about Michelle Obama. How many of those personalities went on a sudden vacations?

None?

Is the front door of Fox News a western, swinging door?

So the current resident in chief made similar and worse statements and got elected and FNC asked what the big deal was and now non-resident in chiefs make similar and worse statements and they get the can? I guess this is progress, but there’s still a thought out there that these statements can be made in the first place by anyone. Yes, he’s gotten the punishment and yes, he may pay for that statement long-term, but what in the world possesses anyone to think one can make such statements and just get away with it?

Oh, I know what it is [smacks head] - Bill Clinton and the intern in the Oval Office… Of course…

Watters’ entire career is making pseudo-naughty and sophomorically unfunny attempted jokes about sex, race, and other supposedly taboo subjects that work fine for people who are actually funny. And unfortunately he has no sense of the limits he imagines himself to be pushing. Anyone with a damn lick of sense would have known that as the sidekick of the network’s most valuable on-air personality who was recently forced off the air for sexual harassment, making an unfunny fellatio joke about Ivanka Trump might not be greeted with huzzahs. But being an obnoxious jerk bro is who he is, and it’s all he is. A sense of audience or proportion is asking too much. So he’s on vacation. I imagine the number of warnings like this he gets is a number between one and none.

That’s very interesting and I appreciate knowing about it. Sure didn’t hear it anywhere else.
