6. here's a link
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/06/06/entertainment/main2895436.shtml

one quote: Barker's long tenure was checkered by lawsuits brought by past "Barker's Beauties," the gown-wearing hostesses who present prizes such as microwaves, pinball machines and brand-new cars. Some sued him for sexual harassment and wrongful termination over the years. Most received out-of-court financial settlements.

14. I know he had a consensual affair with Dyan Pennington that did not go well.
Holly Hallstrom and Janice Pennington sued CBS for age discrimination...I guess I have to read his book to hear his side of the story.

7. So you disagree with someone doing something good because you dislike the person?
If so then what would be your response to something like if, say, Bush came out and called for the arrest of BP's ceo and management responsible for the Deep Water Horizon catastrophe? Of course we both know Bush would never do anything remotely like that, but, the point being what if he did? Would you boo it because how much we dislike Bush, or would you give credit where credit is due?

Your my-team tribalism attitude is one of the major problems inflicting our country. Its no better than the repubs.

9. Sweetie, I think you are operating under a misconception.
BB always signed off the Price is Right by telling people to spay and neuter their pets and I decided to do a play on his sign off. I am indifferent to Bob Barker and have no knowledge of his politics.

13. He's obviously not a conservative...
But liberals can be womanisers and can be misogynistic too. Daniel Ortega is an avowed socialist, for crying out loud, and he's anti-choice and has a history of abusing women close to him.

12. They need to rig that ship up to play this noise when something goes wrong for the whalers.

And then they can get their year's supply of Rice A Roni, hug Bob, and head on home.

15. I love that she's a former whaling vessel.
Bob Barker has long been a hero for the animals, and I am ever more pleased seeing him fund direct action this way.
