Exiting the No-Sin Zone?
By Rebecca Winters
The problem with asserting moral authority nightly on live TV is that inevitably someone will one day challenge it. For Fox News anchor BILL O'REILLY, that time is now. His former producer ANDREA MACKRIS filed a sexual-harassment suit against him last week with some very awkward talking points: Mackris alleges O'Reilly bombarded her with unwanted sex chat in person and by phone, including a fantasy of massaging her with a loofah while sharing a shower in the Caribbean. On his show, O'Reilly, who is suing Mackris for extortion, called her suit "the single most evil thing I have ever experienced." Well, we guess that means Michael Moore is off the hook.
