"Ousted NPR news analyst Juan Williams is having quite a week. On Wednesday evening, he was fired from NPR for saying on The O’Reilly Factor that people in “Muslim garb” make him “nervous” and “worried.” Today, Williams has a new $2 million contract with Fox News, and his past of making sexually inappropriate comments to female colleagues has come back to haunt him.

Raw Story dredged up a 1991 investigation from the Washington Post that found Williams had made “hostile” and “sexually explicit” comments to female Poststaffers on multiple occasions, over a period of several years. The comments themselves were not disclosed, but one staffer went so far as to say, “[Williams] was obsessed with my sex life and that’s all he wanted to talk to me about …. I raised my voice at him and said, ‘Just don’t talk to me again.’ ”
