Hillary Andrews, Will You Lick My Swizzle Stick?

Posted by Katie Halper

Sexual harasser and meteorologist Bob Stokes asked co-anchor Hillary Andrews "Will you Lick My Swizzle stick*?" And that's a totally appropriate request, according to The Weather Channel.

I guess Hillary Andrews has no sense of humor. In good fun, co-anchor Stokes, asked Andrews to "lick my swizzle stick,"  leered at her chest, followed her into the women's dressing room, and questioned her "over and over again, non-stop" about her sex life. So whiny Andrews asked to be paired with a new anchor. And the Weather Channel responded admirably, giving Andrews the overnight shift and, ultimately, firing her. This is what the Weather Channel always does to the women who complain about Stokes, by the way. Yesterday Andrews won a sexual-harassment claim against Stokes, so least there's a "happy ending" (for Andrews, not for Stokes). The Smoking Gun has the scoop and the lawsuit.

*a swizzle stick is a drink stirrer
