Weather Channel In Sex Storm On block, cable network seeks cloak on anchor harassment details

 MAY 6--As The Weather Channel's owner negotiates a multibillion-dollar sale of the cable outlet, the network's lawyers are angling to keep secret the details of a blistering arbitration ruling in favor of a former anchorwoman who charges that she was subjected to unrelenting sexual harassment by her male co-anchor,

who was "romantically obsessed" with her and frequently made crude remarks like, "Will you lick my swizzle stick?"

Hillary Andrews, 38, contends that the cable network's brass turned a blind eye to the harassment because her co-anchor, Bob Stokes, was popular with viewers and scored high ratings. According to recent court filings, Andrews won her arbitration case three months ago and the final ruling was "highly critical of conduct by both Stokes and TWC management."

The Weather Channel was having a heat wave. 

"Will you lick my swizzle stick?"

Weather girl silently thinking, "He's not paying me any attention. Maybe if I wore a blouse made of thinner material? Now I need shear lacy bras. Maybe if I got a boob job? Now maybe if I wear a pushup bra and leave an extra button undone? Lets see, shear thong panties and a shorter hemline has got to do the trick? Awh hell, looks like I'm just going to have to break down and rub the inside of his leg. It's all coming together now. He's noticed me at last. He desires me. He wants me at last" ...........then she goes into her very vocal Gomer Pyle mode, "SEXUAL HARASSMENT, SEXUAL HARASSMENT"   

“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

That would be "SEXUAL HAIR-ASS-MINT!  SEXUAL HAIR-ASS-MINT!"

Well I don't blame her! Dude only has a swizzle stick. Have you seen how small those are? :-)
I can see November 2 from my house!!!

Forget change, bring back common sense.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

This likely wouldn't happen if the Weather Channel went back to just reporting the weather 24/7......as they started out doing.....

We don't need GW propaganda......

We don't need commercials......

We don't need history lessons......

We don't need "on the scene" reports.......

We don't need "weather personalities" of either sex......

Just give us the damn WEATHER!!!
