Bill OReilly hires Bill Clintons Monicagate lawyer in frantic bid to stay on at Fox News

[CatWoman]

Right-wing entertainer and provocateur Bill O’Reilly has made an ironic move in his all-out fight against the waves of sexual harassment charges that are threatening even his lofty perch at Fox News.

According to the New York Times, the conservative commentator — who made his name in the 1990s disparaging then-President Bill Clinton for having an extramarital affair — has hired Clinton’s lawyer from the embattled “Monicagate” era, Mark Fabiani.

Fox News announced this weekend that it intends to pursue an independent investigation against O’Reilly regarding the charges of groping, harassment and sexualized bullying leveled against him by multiple women who have worked at Fox News. Network management are bringing back white shoe law firm Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison, the firm that investigated markedly similar charges against ousted CEO Roger Ailes last year.

1. Paul Weiss etc. has had many clients over the years,

concerning many matters. ONE, re Nixon: 'Bernard Greene and Thomas Fleming of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison, lawyers for Mr. Kaplan, said he opposed the sale because of the possibility that Mr. Nixon's presence might disturb the tranquillity of the 13-story building on the northwest corner of Park Avenue and 72d Street.'>>> http://www.nytimes.com/1984/01/20/nyregion/nixon-may-move-back-to-city.html

NBD!

6. Who cares how many clients they've had?! The story is hilarious. Fuck Bill O'Reilly

for his repeated and nasty harassment of women, which has gone on unimpeded for years, hell with a green light practically given the Ailes atmosphere at Fox, while he publicly patted himself on the back for being a good boy and CONSTANTLY attacking others for far less evil offenses. Fuck O'Reilly's sanctimonious ass, and fuck the Roger Ailes-faced mule he rode in on!

I have no idea what your point is -- I guess you find no humor in the OP's post. Why not just leave it alone then instead of posting snark about how the law firm has had LOTS of clients and that it's really "NBD" as though the OP did something wrong or violated some sacred decree?

Bill oreilly done for this country?

3. Just ask him. He'll tell you...

No one has done more for missing children than Mr Walsh and then him
He was an NFL grade punter
He was a great pitcher that caught the eye of Tom Seaver. Tom Seaver the only rookie in his third professional season in history (in any sport)

He probably has more

4. Pox news aka Den of Sin news is now going to investigate itself and it's headliner.

This should be interesting. Don't forget to investigate the company requirement where all women must wear short skirts with plunging neck lines.

5. And when Fox News starts an "independent" investigation....

you get worried and lawyer up.
