    from the sentence following in the above amazon review:

    Oh my! She "signaled her desire" by taking off all her clothes? That's a quite a signal - how did O'Shannon interpret it so correctly? Guess he figured she had entered the "no spin" zone!

    LOL

    There are women who won't even report getting raped, is it really that hard to believe there are reasons she wouldn't immediately come forward with SH allegations? Not to mention O'Reilly stated what he would do to anyone who came forward. Anyways, until the tapes come out, if they exist, he still has the benefit of the doubt.

    I don't have any problem believing the woman, but you gotta wonder about her not hanging up and actually going back to work for the guy. She wants 30-60 million, but she was willing to go to work for him for $70 thousand or so? I wonder if she was planning a sting....:cool:

    O'Reilly Seeks Tapes in Extortion Case


    NEW YORK (Reuters) - Lawyers for conservative Fox News commentator Bill O'Reilly said on Tuesday they believe a fellow employee accusing him of sexual harassment has recordings of calls between them and they are seeking a court order to obtain them.

    O'Reilly's accuser, Andrea Mackris, and her attorney have been ordered to appear for a hearing in New York state Supreme Court on Friday to divulge whether such tapes exist and "show cause" why they should not be opened to examination by lawyers for O'Reilly and Fox News Channel.

    A copy of the Nassau County judge's order obtained by Reuters also bars Mackris and her lawyer, Benedict Morelli, from destroying any such tapes, should they exist.

    O'Reilly launched a pre-emptive legal strike last Wednesday with a lawsuit accusing Mackris and Morelli of extortion and suggesting they were motivated by greed and politics.

    Fox News lawyer Ronald Green said he believes Mackris, a producer for O'Reilly's show, made the recordings as part of a plan to extort $60 million from the commentator.

    The suit said Morelli, a Democratic contributor, was out to embarrass Fox News and O'Reilly, both popular with conservative viewers, at the height of the campaign season.

    Later that day, Mackris brought a sexual harassment suit in Manhattan against O'Reilly and Fox News. She accused O'Reilly, who is married with two children, of repeatedly pressuring her to engage in phone sex.

    Green said detailed quotes Mackris attributed to O'Reilly in her suit suggested that tapes of their conversations exist. "If there are tapes, we want to see them and listen to them, and if not, we just want to get on with this case," Green told Reuters.

    I do need a hug, texxx. I dropped Kerry today because he NEVER talks about hugging and Bush talks about it ALL the time. I like my war presidents cuddly. Go Bush.

    That has nothing to do with this though. Nothing to see here? There are tapes. Have you read the complaint? Have you read the quotes that are apparently on the tape? O'Reilly's not done because of an ethics scandal or a high dollar lawsuit. He's done because he just embarassed himself worse than Marv Albert. And it's on tape.

    I agree the timing's awkward with me needing a hug so bad. If this benefits anyone it's that French looking, no hugging, liberalest senator EVER with the foreign wife and the dumb middle name, but dude, there are tapes. Nothing to see? That's funny.

    Ah, *Juan Valdez*, I see you fell into my trap perfectly. I will take your concession on the important hugging issue as an unconditional surrender.

    GOOD DAY TO YOU, SIR.

    You caught me. In my part of France, we do alternating kisses, 2 on each cheek. I'm not really the hugging-type; can we do kisses instead?

    " And I I really want to touch you there, uh, in that place of pleas-ure, OK, but I'm gonna let you have the last word on this one."

    "Your repulsive, Bill."

    "OK, we're going to have to agree to disagree on this one, OK. Because I had this rubdown once and the little brown woman saw, my, you know, thing and said it was AMAZING."

    "Gross, Bill. You make me want t"

    "SHUT UP! CUT HER MIKE!"

    Well, they settled out of court. Would have been nice to have the tapes of O'Reilly's sex talk in public.


    NEW YORK (Reuters) - Fox News Channel commentator Bill O'Reilly and a co-worker who had accused him of sexual harassment have agreed to settle and dropped all allegations against each other, lawyers for Fox said on Thursday.

    Andrea Mackris, an associate producer for "The O'Reilly Factor," had sued the talk show host earlier this month, claiming he had repeatedly pressured her to engage in sexually explicit conversations over the phone, talking about vibrators, masturbation and pleasuring himself at times as he spoke.

    Anticipating the complaint, O'Reilly already filed his own suit earlier the same day, accusing Mackris and her lawyer, Benedict Morelli, of trying to extort $60 million in "hush money" from him by threatening to go public with false allegations of sexual harassment.

    In a statement on Thursday, legal firm Becker & Green said all parties had agreed to settle. "All cases and claims have been withdrawn and all parties have agreed that there was no wrongdoing whatsoever by Mr. O'Reilly, Ms. Mackris, or Ms. Mackris' counsel," the statement said.

    It said O'Reilly's allegation of extortion was withdrawn, but all details of the settlement would remain private.
