I’d do her.

Isn’t she married? If she has an itch, her husband would be happy to scratch it for her I am sure

Sorry, Rob. I get carried away sometimes because everything seems to be so polarized anymore…even something as simple, and innocuous, as this. And you’re right, there is a double-standard when it comes to gender-identified-sexuality in this country (always has been, always will be (or at least I hope it always will be)).

For Hannitized to accuse anyone of not having a sense of humor is, of itself, laughable. In fact, that is much of the polarization problem anymore…nobody has a sense of humor, especially not a self-deprecating one. The word that comes to mind is ‘priggish’.

I’m just getting crotchety in my old age. I miss a degree of civility in the public discourse, that’s all.

Jesus, why don’t you guys lighten up a little. She’s no worse than Richard Dawson was on Family Feud or Bob Barker on The Price Is Right. It’s a GAME show. She’s hosting as GAME show. The idea of flirting–and dabbling in the double entendre pool–is as common to game show host/esses as butter on toast. Christ, is their nothing a liberal can say or do that is ‘okay’ with you?

I enjoyed it. I find the show to be typically boring, so sexing it up some is likely to help ratings. It doesn’t matter if it is putting a handsome man in uniform on for the women or a horny milf on for the men. I give him credit for planting the wet willie on her. That’s quick thinking and very humorous.

I only have two problems with the exchange. First, she’s married. She didn’t just flirt with the sailor; she could barely handle doing her job. Sure, interacting with the contestant is part of her job, but she looked happy the show was ending, and he’d be back, so she could find his hotel. Comments like, “they don’t come like this too often” doesn’t give me confidence she’s very faithful.

The other problem is his position as a sailor, in public, and that woman across from him is no ordinary milf or game show host. She’s a journalist. Had he, in any way beyond the wet willie, came on to her, it could impact his career. Let’s say they willingly made the beast with two backs and that fact became public. Whose career is more likely to be over? I say this, because I’m thinking about how other journalist, like Mrs. Richard Cohen, treated Navy officers after the Tailhook scandal.

I also wonder how many journalist come on to military men when in the field. I’ve heard it is fairly common. After watching that, no question she’s the cougar on the prowl. But in the field, had they gotten caught, I wonder how should we have acted afterwards, and again whose career and which industry (journalism or military) would be made to look worse.

The world needs more old horny women

I think people are willing to give him credit concerning his stellar war
record and the fact that he was able to stand up to the Germans from inside
a POW camp.

I would’ve been flattered if I’d been the sailor. Meredith isn’t exactly hard to look at.

The way she went on and on was a little tacky – seriously, are people really that interested in witnessing other people’s flirting? He seemed to be enjoying it though, so what do I know?

[blockquote]No I’m very satisfied with my relationship with my wife.[/blockquote]

Seems like you are unreasonably upset and cant stand a little flirtation on television. That comes across as jealousy. I should have realized it was just envy.

Seriously, sexual harassment?

Your avatar is displaying just fine for me.

I agree with “damntruthhurts”. Making a come-on “one time” is respectable, but repeating it makes you look like a loser who is desperate. It was “cute” the first time and of course I would be flattered if I were him also. But she went on and on and on. I became embarrassed for her after a few moments.

As long as it’s not Barbara Walters…

Yes, “confronted.” as in “To come up against; encounter.” She encountered the guy.

And given how heavy she was laying it on, I jokingly suggested harassment.

And you still don’t understand the envy thing. You are envious that the pilot gets attention from women, and you see it as harassment, instead of fun flirtatiousness.

Hey, if that pilot got to make Veriea squeal after the show, more power to him. I was laughing at the situation he was in.

Lighten up man.

Says the amateur psychologist who first tells me how I feel about the situation then gets bent out of shape about the feelings he’s imputed to me.

Sigh…you’d be so much more likeable if you weren’t such a child.

You really ought to dump this Disqus stuff. It’s hopelessly broken (where’s my Avatar?).

Envious of what? Veiera? No thanks. I mean, she’s pretty enough, but like I said I’m satisfied.

By the way, “thinks its funny” and “unreasonably upset” aren’t the same thing. Don’t project your anger and unhappiness on to me.
