Anyone following this lurid sex scandal (and who isn’t?) will enjoy this funny analysis of how Bill has only made his messy situation worse by firing the producer making the charges against him.

I am not a lawyer, but I can read. Even my non-legal mind knows you don’t fire someone who sues you. Because now she has unfair termination as an additional cause.

Let me explain this slowly, so even the simple among us can understand it:

Bill, the word is deposition. It is what Benedict Morelli will conduct this winter. It will involve every senior person at Fox, every staff member and every bed partner you had there. Your wife will read the details of your extramarital affairs and may well decide to file for divorce.

He will not only ask, but will find every woman you hit on, not only on Fox, but at every other job you had. Boston, ABC, whatever the fuck that other show was, all of them. We’re talking a long witness list. In fact, he may well try to establish that a culture of concubinage existed at Fox. What does that mean? It means that senior Fox execuitives pick sexual partners from the people they supervise. (See the Texas Prison Rape story for grim details). This is like letting the FBI into your cocaine filled warehouse.

Being the dumb Irish bully that you are, you’re going to provide me with days of copy and amusement.

But because seeing evident stupidity makes me ill, here’s a suggestion: SETTLE THIS FUCKING THING MONDAY. Because, you just made Fox compound your stupidity with their stupidity and this will go before a Fox-hating, Post-hating Manhattan jury. Ms. Mackris will enjoy her summers on the Cote D’Azure, her winter vacation in Gstaad, and a Palm Beach condo because of your uncontrolled anger and rage. She will be RICH, as in seven figure plus rich.

If it were anyone but Bill O’Reilly I would probably feel a touch of sympathy, as it’s part of my bleeding-heart nature to feel bad for people in trouble. But since it’s Bill, I can scarcely conceal the schadenfreude — in fact, there’s a lot more freude than schaden. After all, this is the self-anointed pope of morality, the paternalistic critic of all things improper. He is wiser than we mortals, and he knows what’s good and bad, right and wrong.

Of course, anyone with minimal grey matter has known all along it’s a sham. It’s nice that the rest of the world now knows, too.
