Over at Media Bistro, we find an odd story that has it all: foul language, boorish behavior, sexual harassment, a male U.S. Navy officer, and a female journalist. Only the story isn’t what you might think it would be considering the ingredients. In this case it is the naval officer filing a complaint against the female reporter for sexual harassment.
Media Bistro has learned that US Navy Commander Jeffrey D. Gordon has filed a sexual harassment complaint against the Miami Herald's Carol Rosenberg with Gordon claiming that Rosenberg made comments about Gordon’s “sexual orientation,” repeatedly showered foul language upon him, and made comments of a sexual nature to him in the presence of others.
The complaint outlines the explicit nature of Rosenberg's accusations that the commander had sexually assaulted a Muslim prisoner in his charge. According to Gordon, Rosenberg wondered aloud…
…in front of another journalist with reference to why 9/11 co-defendant Mustafa Al Hawsawi was seated on a pillow in court:
"Have you ever had a red hot poker shoved up your a**? Have you ever had a broomstick shoved up your a**? Have you ever had anything in your a**? How would you know how it feels if it never happened to you? Admit it, you liked it? No wonder why you like to stay in South Beach on your Miami visits."
Rosenberg, to CNN's Jamie McIntyre in front of roughly 15 journalists in the Guantanamo Commission's press center:
To Jamie - "Aren't you in the BOQ (Bachelor Officers Quarters)? I didn't think you were in tent city because these people (military public affairs escorts) are so far up your ass that I figured you must be in the BOQ."
To Me [Gordon] - "Why isn't he in the BOQ? You're kissing his ass so much that I can't believe that you're letting him stay with the rest of us. Do you love him?"
Sheeese! If Gordon’s claims are to be believed, apparently Carol Rosenberg really hates the U.S. military!
Media Bistro outlines some more of Rosenberg’s alleged boorish behavior, so go on over and take a look.

You know what? YOU ARE NOT DEFENDING MY FREEDOM BY GOING TO IRAQ! Spin all you want, its just not the case. In fact, you may very well be jeopardizing it.
I'm all for free trade, which is why I'm opposed to GIVING Israel money. Or any nation for that matter.
I have absolutely NO RESPECT for you. NONE. You ARE an extremist with a very small mind. But then I guess ignorance is bliss.
Now enjoy your stay in the desert, where you can tell yourself every night how much good you are doing in the world. Truth be damned!

She sounds like...
July 25, 2009 - 08:10 ET by onewiseguy...the typical Feminazi....a mean-spirited, vicious, angry man-hater. I hope he wins his suit...this type of behavior, which is so common from the left needs to be confronted head on and "beat with a stick."
One more thing...
July 25, 2009 - 08:14 ET by onewiseguyFeminists remind me of "bubbas"...you know, the guys who wear "wife-beater" t-shirts, have a big beer beely, no manners whatsoever and are the stereotypical "male chauvinist". That type of person is scorned and ridiculed by feminists but they fail to see that they themselves are nothing more than the female version of that.....and they also wonder why men are repulsed by them....go figure.
So much for being
July 25, 2009 - 08:15 ET by BettendorSo much for being professional. To say this is unprofessional behavior by the reporter (assuming this is true - I won't make a definitive statement on something I don't have all the facts on like our President) and against any code of ethics is an understatement.
I would hope the Herald would fire her if this is all true, assuming they have a shred of integrity left (I know that's wishful thinking, according to some on this forum, but a guy can dream).

Objectivity be damned.
