This POS has the NERVE to revile Jesse Helms???? www.mediaresearch.org Bryant Gumbel’s divorce was finalized on Tuesday and the New York Post reported that the judge awarded his Westchester home, a Manhattan apartment and half of his $20 million fortune to his spurned wife. An excerpt from the August 22 New York Post story by Steve Dunleavy, which referred to "White Plains County." Since there is no White Plains County in New York, I assume he meant a Westchester County court building in White Plains: The Gumbel rumble ended yesterday in divorce -- leaving the $6 million-a-year man half the man he once was. The newly ex-Mrs. Bryant Gumbel, June, got the pair's Upper East Side apartment and plush Westchester estate during a hearing before Judge Mark Dillon in White Plains County Court. But there is apparently more -- millions of dollars more -- to come for June, in a settlement that will basically split the millionaire newscaster's fortune down the middle, sources said. Gumbel, 52, emerged from the courtroom on the seventh floor and said with a smile: "I'm just happy to have my life back."... June's lawyer, Barry Slotnick, declined comment on the settlement, citing the fact that it is sealed. He has estimated that the news star's estimated worth is $20 million. June, 51, had accused the CBS star of being a "serial adulterer" after Gumbel shacked up with leggy blonde Hilary Quinlan, 41, a former researcher for Goldman Sachs. In the final act of chutzpah by the "Early Show" anchor, she said, Gumbel had asked a judge for sharing privileges of the Westchester house where June was living after he walked out on her. The reason was, "He wanted to take his girlfriend there and be near his golf club," said June, who has two kids with Gumbel.... The bad memories, she said, include Gumbel trying to put the financial squeeze on her and even refusing to pay their teenage son Bradley's telephone bill. END of Excerpt To read the entire New York Post story, go to: nypost.com I’ll consider the loss of his homes and $10 million or so bucks his fine for all his biased reporting over the years. -- Brent Baker

Don't jump to conclusions! Check this out and decide whether there is an implication by JLA of sexism in my simple use of the term "you guys." Message 16259040 Probably there isn't, now that i think of it! Because JLA claims to see no hostile demeaning of women in such posts of Christopher's as this one (there have been other menopausal digs by CH.): Message 16231343 Although I explained the difference to JLA quite clearly when i wrote, <<"You guys" makes no implication that maleness, or hormonal states associated with maleness, is what is causing you guys's behavior or thought-patterns.">> But for some reason he doesn't comprehend. Hard to imagine JLA not comprehending simple concepts....
