Eeewwww.

Why won't she name the person? Is it lack of proof? Just wondering.

 

Leon Wieseltier.

No, seriously.

Leon Wieseltier.

He’s a genius. Are we to lose our geniuses over demeaning and inappropriate comments? It’s inexcusable conduct. But if a Nobel caliber researcher is fired for demeaning comments and actions are we going to suffer with cancer because he was denied work? Wieseltier isn’t curing diseases, but he’s a brilliant mind and writer. Are we to be denied his work? If Einstein made advances towards a research assistant should we ignore his work? Should we remove Picasso and Degas from museums if there were accusations of improprieties?

 

There’s a big conference in late November I usually attend (I’m going this year), and a few eminences are normally present. I suspect this year we’ll see fewer instances of old-fart-eminence-holding-boozy-court-with-doctoral-students ...

 

Why is O'Reilly still denying? Maybe he's hoping to salvage this Sinclair deal.

Does Bill O'Reilly still have a future on TV?

 

Yes but mainly because his work is largely overrated crap

 

Trumpism, deny everything indignantly and accuse the accuser with bellicosity and lie about one’s accomplishments with grandiosity

 

I don't know if O'Reilly realizes it or would acknowledge it, but the only reason anyone would give him the time of day would be if he could do something for him. Weinstein and Ailes absolutely realized it and tried to leverage that for sex. They have mirrors. O'Reilly might have figured these women actually like him or enjoyed his company as much as he did. Maybe he wasn't aware of the power dynamic, it still existed and if his (professional) interest in these women ended when he realized nothing was going to happen - he's guilty.

 

Odd bc normally guys with lazy eyes get all the chicks

 

A friend saw the infamous men in media list referenced in the Wieseltier piece and there were a few sports media names that were fairly surprising, some with incredibly specific stories and accusations, others with basically no info. The veracity of any of it, of course....

 

Lupita Nyong'o Says Harvey Weinstein Sexually Harassed Her

Article listing his accusers and giving thumbnails of what happened. Fifty or so listed.

 

Fox News gonna be busy on this one. I'm finding it hard to fathom an 89-year-old man gettin' all hound-doggy, but her post was pretty clear.

George H. W. Bush Apologizes to Actress After She Claims He 'Sexually Assaulted' Her During a Photo Shoot

“He didn’t shake my hand. He touched me from behind from his wheelchair with his wife Barbara Bush by his side. He told me a dirty joke. And then, all the while being photographed, touched me again.”

Spokesman says:

“President Bush would never — under any circumstance — intentionally cause anyone distress, and he most sincerely apologizes if his attempt at humor offended Ms. Lind.”
