Drudge is giving this Daily Caller story HUGE RED PIXEL play but the allegation against Chris Matthews isn't so bad. Juvenile jokes in 1999 seems to be the gist:
NBC Made Payment To Staffer After Sexual Harassment Claim Against Chris Matthews
An MSNBC spokesman confirmed Saturday the company made a separation-related payment to one of Chris Matthews employees after the woman complained about sexual harassment.
Two sources familiar with the situation told The Daily Caller that Matthews paid $40,000 to settle with an assistant producer on his show, “Hardball with Chris Matthews,” in 1999 after she accused him of harassment. An MSNBC spokesperson contested that claim to the Caller, saying the company instead paid significantly less as part of a severance package.
The woman complained to CNBC executives about Matthews making inappropriate comments and jokes about her while in the company of others.
The MSNBC spokesman said that they thoroughly reviewed the situation at the time and that Matthews received a formal reprimand. Based on people who were involved in matter, the network concluded that the comments were inappropriate and juvenile but were not intended to be taken as propositions.
If that is as bad as it gets Matthews ought to be fine.
FWIW, at one of my previous employers back in the 90's it seemed that every woman who was dismissed in the latest round of right-sizings collected on a harrassment claim. Mainly because senior management made caveman jokes - the rumor mill was never hot with Matt Lauer type stories.
Matthews: all talk, no walk.

I’m not willing to let him off this easily. Make him tell us what he said. Make him publicly apologize to her. Humiliate him. Then I’ll be willing to let him spit while he rabidly talks about conservatives.

Well I'm lobbying to bring back due process but I'll make an exception for Matthews, who for some reason bugs me more than most liberal asshats.

Momto2,
Somebody posted the other day that he had been to Camp David 5 times.
I wish I had a way to check (without meticulous searching) when those 5 times were.
Camp David has the advantage of being outside the fishbowl of the White House so that visitors can come without being observed by the press. I didn't see Melania or Baron get on that chopper with him, so it seems to me he might be doing something more important than relaxing or playing golf.

Wow, Doug Jones refused to take the Tapper bait. Sucks to be you, Jake. Idiot.
Last night's get together where my buddy was spinning records was really nice. He was one of three people doing so but his stuff sounded the best: a mix of early rock, blues and country, all on 45s in immaculate shape (he goes to a lot of collectors get togethers; my interest in that stuff is nil but I can't argue with the quality of his results). Even the co owners of the Beachland Ballroom stopped in to check things out; they're pretty much responsible for the mini development of the area, probably not far from maryrose's old neighborhood. The only place that's still an empty lot is where Danny Green used to live; I don't know how many of you are familiar with the movie "Kill the Irishman" but there's a mural with "Kaboom" on an adjoining wall.
Ironically killing Green led to the dissolution of the Italian mob in Cleveland. A woman artist noticed a guy in a pickup truck who remotely triggered the car bomb next to Green. She sketched the guy's picture to the cops, who recognized him immediately and he was picked up outside of Pittsburgh where he spilled his guts leading to massive convictions.

House and Senate committees have turned their focus in recent weeks to Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe, counterintelligence investigator Peter Strzok, FBI attorney Lisa Page, former associate deputy attorney general Bruce Ohr and his wife Nellie - who worked for Fusion GPS, the firm behind the "Trump-Russia" dossier and several other concurrent campaigns to smear Donald Trump in an effort funded in large part by Hillary Clinton and the DNC.

His was one of the first; now every block is full of them. Bunch of new townhouses/rowhouses that look old.
