61. I wish you could fix your web page. The gray column on the left side of the page covers part of your article. I'd like to be able to read the whole thing!

63. This guy has acted gay since day one. Get some help dude....if you cannot get along with your woman then leave. No place in this country for a scum bag hurting a woman or child. If you are on TV again I will turn the chanel.

64. Many women deserve a good slap because they are just as much cheaters as men. Plus many women think they are God's gift and all they should do is shop and get fat and buy shoes.

66.
Didn't Jim Lampley used to be someonw about 30 years ago?

What an absolute loser !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This wasn't a one-time thing - there have been two other incidents reported in the last couple of weeks.

Light up a bigger bong, Jim, and mellow out a little bit.

If I ever see this a-hole in public, he's going to get his ass kicked.

68. To Melissa: Why bring Bree Walker into this? Well, it takes two to tango. When Jim "the WIMP" Lampley worked at a local televison station in Los Angeles he was married. Bree Walker, who was also married, worked at the same station. Both of these losers dumped their spouses to be with each other. Serves them both right. I feel sorry for the kid(s) that resulted from that marriage because, if I'm not mistaken, they also suffer from the same disability that Bree does and have screwed up hands and feet. Way to go, Jim and Bree. I feel sorry for the kids, but not for these two self-centered egocentrics. Why ANY woman would want to spend time with this loser is beyond me. He's a nodoby. He's used and dumped women (and children) as far back as I can remember. I would love to see HBO take a stand and fire this schmuck on a morality clause.

69. Innocent untl proven guilty. That is a great foundation of our legal system since sometimes people face accusations that are not true. Sometimes women abuse men verbally, emotionally, and yes even physically. Sometimes "people" (men or women) are the perpetrators of abuse in private but carefully spin their public image. Sometimes women are abusive and then if a man tries to protect himself (ever been scratched in the face? had your balls grabbed and ripped?) by trying to get away he she calls 911 and claims she was the victim. Men don't come forward with claims of abuse or call 911 because they are too embarrassed based upon the bias in this culture. So, maybe Mr. Lampley is guilty, but maybe he is innocent and SHE is guilty anand the primary perpetrator. That's why one day when YOU face accusations you know to be untrue, you hope we still have our justice system which says "Innocent until proven guilty". People who gossip and who try a person in the court of public opinion are not people you want as friends.
