“And persona politics were at play here, too. What we saw this week was the culmination of a dissonance between two battling Bill O’Reillys: the plain-talking defender of common-sense wisdom and what some called an entitled, angry sexual aggressor and workplace bully.
There are words for this dissonance between public and private personae. O’Reilly’s bosses might call it “brand erosion.” The correct word is hypocrisy."

My spouse, 3 friends and I are celebrating the news of BOR’s demise by watching the BOR discussions on MSNBC and drinking champagne. We are on our 3rd bottle! Sorry, BOR, but you brought it on yourself, you creepy, old harasser. Cheers!

Here’s Bill’s statement…
Over the past 20 years at Fox News, I have been extremely proud to launch and lead one of the most successful news programs in history, which has consistently informed and entertained millions of Americans and significantly contributed to building Fox into the dominant news network in television. It is tremendously disheartening that we part ways due to completely unfounded claims. But that is the unfortunate reality many of us in the public eye must live with today. I will always look back on my time at Fox with great pride in the unprecedented success we achieved and with my deepest gratitude to all my dedicated viewers. I wish only the best Fox News Channel.

I’ve looked at a couple of pro-Fox, pro-O’Reilly websites to see their reaction, and it’s predictable. We are haters and libtards, and poor wittle Bill is a victim of that evil political correctness run amok.
If possible, we need to think of those who were victimized by the power that Bill had over them because of the money he brought into the network.
Who knows how many more there were that were afraid to speak up, and a worse thought, how many gave into Bill’s sexual demands to save or advance their careers at Fox. I always believed that the police should have been called in to see if Roger had any hidden cameras in the women’s dressing room where they had several short dresses for them to choose and try on.
I don’t think this will hurt Fox in the ratings. Their audience only cares about the message, not the messenger.
The only thing certain here is, whoever is the head of HR at Fox is going to need some serious therapy.

It will be interesting to know if there is little fanfare or sadness at BOR’s leaving. I get the feeling that O’Reilly’s coworkers probably thought of him as an arrogant horse’s ass. This will be a good time for parting shots at the big liver spot.

Guess I was wrong. Just read that Howie Kurtz will be on Bret Baier tonite to discuss O’Falafel’s departure. So much for my guess of just ignoring it.

Thank you Aunt Headly for your service. You have been in the trenches a long time not fully knowing the enemy in the opposite trench. Now you do. A sock puppet on the payroll of Roger Aisles. Do any of these people genuinely believe in anything that doesn’t have money attached to it?

Bill O’Reilly can drop in at 1600 Pennsylvania now with a couple of six packs and a TV Guide. Hey, he doesn’t have anything better to do!
Heh, heh. But I’m not gloating.
