O'Reilly offered $60 million for a witness to disappear
Perhaps it was only $6 million but the 3 times I heard it on CNN I could swear they said $60 million.

3. I think this is a bit bigger than just O'Reilly
Franken has said so little about the case and he's mentioned in it. Makes one wonder what Ailes was up to.

13. He has issues
I believe that O'Riley would offer $6 or 60 mil to shut this lady up. You know when sex scandals come out about republicans, they get brushed under the rug...but when a Dem does something wrong....well you know where I'm going with this. Anyway, I have hardly heard anything about this issue. The king of morality has done something wrong :hurts:

8. There were 5 meetings
to assuage the witness to dismiss.


Why $60 million when the typical Bush wetwork WOULD PROBABLY cost less than $200,000?

11. PERHAPS ;)
It goes beyond Bill's bj and cigar fetish.
Maybe this case would hammer the phrase "anal sex" over and over on TV during the dinner hour. 8(

12. Thanks
for clearing that up.

It does have the makings of being more entertaining than the Kobe extravaganza.

16. They Must Have Other Jane Does
This suit wouldn't have been made as public as it has if there wasn't another show set to drop somewhere. I suspect that if this case does go to trial, the defense will pull out another Bill O'Reilly honey or two. Either way, it's great when the Kharma train goes rolling over those who deserve it.
