(38,566 posts)"If he's married."
He was married but had an affair on his wife while they both worked at Fox. So Fox, in their enabling way, put her on another show and later he got married to the one he was having an affair with and they had a kid very shortly thereafter. Never mind that he already had three with the other woman, who eventually left Fox. I think that's it, anyway. Is your head spinning?
And now I think he's up to five kids.
He's not quite as bad as feLeon but approaching there. Both men have mothers who are somewhat distinctive. feLeon's mother is an older model, which is kind of a rare sort of career. She supports his lies and even pitch hits.
Watters' mother, however, comes from a distiinguished family but it sounds like she kind of married down a few notches and settled for a mere teacher. His mother is from the family that started Better Homes & Gardens magazine. Also somewhere in that lineage is The Saturday Evening Post. Plus there is a senator and state Supreme Court/Colorado justice in there. too.
Watters' mom, as I understand it, doesn't buy her son's simple minded approach to the news. She demands proof to his goofy stories and doesn't get it.
