    So the standard is a zero tolerance policy if you are on TV or movies. 4 -6 game suspension in the NFL. Complete tolerance policy in politics and real estate development

    Had dinner with a group of friends on Saturday night. The conversation turned to “Who ya got next in Sexual Harrassment Bingo?”

    My wife had Matt Lauer, without a doubt.

    She has no personal experience, thankfully. But he’s been a well-known scumbag for years.

    And my wife is smart.

    He’s been reporting on this stuff since the Weinstein dam broke. Always interesting to think how people compartmentalize things.

    Times was working on a story, which had to go beyond the "one complaint" so they fired him to make that the story hed and not the long history of looking the other way.

    The two most recognizable alums of my college were Roger Ailes and Matt Lauer.

    Not sure who is going to get mentioned on the walking tour now.
