BILL O'REILLY SEXUAL HARASSMENT SCANDAL

This is getting pretty nasty, as you might expect given that it involves one of the biggest buttholes in the country. From the New York Daily news courtesy of Eschaton:

Mackris claims O'Reilly, a best-selling author and writer, started making sexual comments to her back in 2001. She said they escalated after she returned to Fox News after a short stint at CNN this year.

She claims his remarks included telling her to use a vibrator, tales about his sexual conquests and his "amazing" endowment, and three phone sex calls in which he told of fantasies involving her.

In their countersuit, O'Reilly and Fox News say Mackris and her lawyer tried to extort $60 million in return for her dropping the harassment case.

Ordinarily, I'd withhold judgment until I had more information, despite the fact that I'd love to see O'Reilly utterly disgraced. However, Fox News is making itself look pretty guilty here: the main thrust of the above linked article is that the conservative propaganda organization recently fired Mackris seemingly in retaliation for her allegations. Now that doesn't come anywhere near what I would call proof, but...well, Michael Jackson is innocent until proven guilty, too.
