O'Reilly Settles Harassment Claim
Mood:  bright
Topic: Politics
Bill O'Reilly settled his suit with a woman who accused him of sexual harassment. Having said previously that he would not give into extortion, this doesn't pass the smell test for me.

But I liked the comment by KRM here (scroll down to the October 29, 2004 11:16 PM post).

"I am not defending whatever it was he actually did (and it appears he ws at a minimum inanely crude with a subordinate cowoker - always a mistake, as well as wrong), but the thought did occur to me:

"Only conservatives are really open to charges of moral hypocracy, because they maintain high standards and thus there is a much higher likelihood that they will not be met by some conservatives. Liberals maintaining lowest common denominator standards are not as likely to violate them."
