Re: that last guy: $150 million dollars could have gone into the private sector? Where the hell does he think the money went? Did John Fucking Kerry do the catering and then donate the proceeds to the government? A goddamn private catering company did the catering and the money went into the private sector! Christ! Even if the government has their own catering company it ain’t staffed by robots! People got paid! It went to the private sector, ya nutbag!
!!!!11!
Oh, Bill, did you just agree in contradiction to one of Fox’s talking points 4 years ago?
I seem to recall the right complaining when Bush spared no expenses on his SECOND inauguration… I didn’t bother to look this up (or remember the exact costs), but news reports were all over about how FDR served chicken salad during wartime to keep costs down and Bush was celebrating like a sunuvabitch. O’Reily and the like were then under the impression that Bush deserved a kick ass party. Ah, double standards.
And right on, Tom. This inauguration probably gave a good shot in the arm to D.C.’s economy. People got paid!!! I wish we could have those shindigs all over the country!
Loved seeing Jessica Alba, but hated to have to watch even a moment of that blowhard, or to listen to the idiot interviewer.
People still watch Bill O’Reilly?
Well, it’s true. Bill O’Reilly is an asshole.
Oh, yeah. Jessica’s misguided.
Well, perhaps misguided in that she isn’t crushing on O-Willis.
jeffk: “Loved seeing Jessica Alba, but hated to have to watch even a moment of that blowhard, or to listen to the idiot interviewer.”
Seen the clip elsewhere, so I don’t have to watch it here.
And yes, Jessica Alba is 100% correct.
Does he deal with some perceived personal slight against his ego on literally EVERY show?
Jessica Alba is awesome. Jamie Fox is VERY diplomatic.
Jessica Alba with her high school education calls Bill O’Reilly “kind of an A-hole”. Asked to explain why he’s an ‘A-hole’, she refuses on grounds that it would be admitting she’s actually watched his show, which is not necessarily the case but nevertheless she won’t do. This impresses liberals and liberal bloggers.
‘And here, folks. Here’s some bikini pictures of this classy, intellectual lady’.

Remember, folks. It’s the liberals who are the elitists.

Quoting Bob Dylan, “You don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.”
Of course, the answer to any question posed by BO should be “Andrea Mackris? Who’s she?” If everyone addressed by BO answered that way, he wouldn’t have a show.

–Repack Rider
Yeah, yeah. The obligatory Mackris, falafel and loofahs to match the equally obligatory ‘We’ll Do It Live’ video. Insightful, Repack. C’mon, you guys are supposed to be a bit better than that. Certainly a bit less vapid than Jessica Alba at least.
You don’t have to be smart to know that Bill O’Reilly is a bit of an A-hole. But if you call him that to a reporter with a camera filming you, you should at least be able or willing to offer up an explanation for doing so.
Wow, and here I thought this was a free country and people could say anything they want when ambushed by a reporter. Or at any other time.
Like I could say, “Dennis is a dumbass, bless his heart,” without any explanation as to why. It’s self-evident.

Very well stated, Bruce. Maybe Oliver will post a link to some bikini pictures of you, too.
Parthenon: Does he deal with some perceived personal slight against his ego on literally EVERY show?
Yes. It’s what immature, insecure bullies do.
Dennis: But if you call him that to a reporter with a camera filming you, you should at least be able or willing to offer up an explanation for doing so.
Why? O’Reilly rarely does. He makes supposedly factual statements without offering any support all the time. Surely when talking about him we can use his own standard.

–Sean D. Martin
If you want to emulate the worst in Bill O’Reilly, please feel free, Sean. I was probably mistaken to have expected better of you.
Dennis:
Thanks to my superior superduper computer-nerdy hacking skills, I was able to discover your e-mail address. I’m going to forward you some bikini pics. I’ve gotta warn you though, I’m no Jessica Alba. More like an older, fatter, less attractive Philip Seymour Hoffman.
You’re welcome.
Dennis: If you want to emulate the worst in Bill O’Reilly, please feel free, Sean. I was probably mistaken to have expected better of you.
Oh, how quick they are to throw stones.
Next time I’ll make sure to use a [sarcasm] tag or a

“Yeah, yeah. The obligatory Mackris, falafel and loofahs to match the equally obligatory ‘We’ll Do It Live’ video. Insightful, Repack”
It is insightful -and still relevant.
O’Reilly panders himself as the ultimate holier-than-thou working class uber-patriot know-it-all whose words are gospel. Simultaneously, he is (by his own standards) a filthy deviant who needed FOX’s deep pockets to keep his embarrassing indiscretions out of the public eye. Don’t believe me, read the Mackris transcripts and convince yourself that O’Reilly lives up to the image he projects.
FOX didn’t even think to rehabilitate O’Reilly after the Mackris debacle and subsequent out of court settlement. Nope, just wheel him out because O’Reilly is the best FOX can do. Bill O’Reilly can go fuck himself with a pineapple and follow up with a hot brick from a pizza oven for a chaser.
Dennis: “You don’t have to be smart to know that Bill O’Reilly is a bit of an A-hole. But if you call him that to a reporter with a camera filming you, you should at least be able or willing to offer up an explanation for doing so.”
Why do I have the feeling you would think otherwise if she was bad mouthing a liberal?
Here’s the facts…
1.) She’s an actress. She doesn’t need to go into detail supporting her position on a red carpet interview, which tend to last 30 seconds or so. If she was willing and able to, it wasn’t the time or place to do so.
2.) Bill O’Reilly is an asshole.
It is insightful -and still relevant.
..and fuckin hilarious.
Dennis:”If you want to emulate the worst in Bill O’Reilly, please feel free, Sean. I was probably mistaken to have expected better of you.”
It’s called wasting your time. If you treat someone with respect, and they act like an asshole, they are to blame. If you continue to treat them with respect, and they continue to act like an asshole, you are a chump.
Bill O’Reilly is an asshole. He should be treated as an asshole.
Hell, O’Reilly is lucky she let him off so easy. How easy would it have been to say something along the lines of:
“How so? Well, I mean what would you call a guy who telephones one of his employees in the middle of the night to tell her about the teensy little penis-shaped vibrator he’s got stuck up his butt?”

A Bill Clinton impersonator?
CSS: If you treat someone with respect, and they act like an asshole, they are to blame.
Couldn’t agree more. Going to have to file that one away. Use it the next time someone’s initial response to a comment is “you’re a fuckin’ tard” or something like that.
Thanks, C!
A Bill Clinton impersonator?
Wanna try again? Or are you just going to let your Fail lie there for everyone to see?
Dennis: “You don’t have to be smart to know that Bill O’Reilly is a bit of an A-hole. But if you call him that to a reporter with a camera filming you, you should at least be able or willing to offer up an explanation for doing so.”
If she was talking about Keith Olberman, would you apply the same metric, or laugh and point?
Yeah, thought so.
Shorter Dennis: Falafels are entirely appropriate sex toys for the shower. Oh, and sexual harassment of subordinate co-workers is Teh Awesome!
<i?Wanna try again? Or are you just going to let your Fail lie there for everyone to see?
You’re right, QIB, my bad. It was a cigar and it was his employee’s backside; not his. And I guess it wasn’t just over a phone call, either.
Nuance.
Not his employee. And consensuality is a good bit more than a “nuance.”
And consensuality is a good bit more than a “nuance.”
Hey, easy there, those of Bill-o and Dennis’s ilk don’t know what your talking about.
‘ e
You’re absolutely correct, Mister ed. I don’t know what you’re talking about. I never know what liberals are talking about when they valiantly defend Bill Clinton’s sordid and irresponsible behavior with Monica Lewisnky on grounds that it was consensual, but profess disgust and dismay at Bill O’Reilly’s behavior on grounds that it wasn’t consensual. Except that they rarely mention the non consensuality of his deeds, it’s always the sordid details Mackris accused him of while she remained on the phone long after he spoke of such details.
Kathleen Willey… not consensual. ‘Nevermind, she had mental problems’.
Juanita Brodderick…not consensual. ‘Nevermind, statute of limitations. He wasn’t president then either’.
But Bill O’Reilly and Andrea Mackris…. “OMG, what an A-hole!!!”
Yeah, I don’t understand.
Well, let’s put it this way, then Dennis. Maybe Miss Alba should have said, “Bill O’Reilly? He’s kind of an a-hole…just like Bill Clinton!!!1!
Happy?
More shorter Dennis: Bill O’Reilly is a mensch!
Maybe Miss Alba should have said, “Bill O’Reilly? He’s kind of an a-hole…just like Bill Clinton!!!!
-QIB
In a pig’s eye, Quibbie. Liberal bloggers would roast her, and possibly even threaten a boycott of showing pics of her in a bikini.
Never happen.
Never happen.
Refresh my memory. What, exactly, was your point again?
The obligatory Mackris, falafel and loofahs to match the equally obligatory ‘We’ll Do It Live’ video. Insightful, Repack. C’mon, you guys are supposed to be a bit better than that.
Better than what? The standard you are setting?
Please.
Responding to your mewling whine that pointing out O’Reilly’s public record of sexual harassment is somehow demeaning to me, but pointing out Bill Clinton’s consensual exchange is obligatory and admirable on your part in any discussion of morality…
Is pointless, because merely stating your comparison shows how ridiculous it is.
Why don’t you explain why Bill O’Reilly’s million dollar settlement and the tawdry details of it aren’t evidence that he is an a-hole just as the young lady, the remarkably perceptive and attractive young lady I might add, pointed out. It’s not like she had all day to give an unscheduled interview to a known a-hole and woman-abuser, so there was no reason for her to go into any detail.
But please, explain why Mr. O’Reilly’s moral failures, which far exceed Clinton’s, are not evidence that Ms. Alba had emptied the magazine into the ten-ring. (I know how much you kids who have never served like that military jargon.)
I’m amused by the implication in the postings on this thread that O’Reilly’ asshollery is limited to the Andrea Mackris affair. Take away Mackris and O’Reilly is still an asshole fifty times over.
“I’m amused by the implication in the postings on this thread that O’Reilly’ asshollery is limited to the Andrea Mackris affair. Take away Mackris and O’Reilly is still an asshole fifty times over.”
Yeah, but mistaking a loofah and a falafel during, what I can only hope was a drunken sex call is very, very amusing.
“Fuck it, we’ll do it live!” is fun, but not as likely to cause people to giggle.
Having the son of a victim of 9/11 on and yelling at him that he (Bill O’Reilly) knows what the victim’s father would think more than his own son has 50 times the raw asshole power, but it’s just not fun to talk about.
“We love her even more now.”
Oliver! I’m shocked! I did not think it was possible to love her more than you already do.
“…but it’s just not fun to talk about.”
No, it’s not, but it does provide specific evidence to back up our lady Jessica’s characterization of Billy Boy (especially when you consider that O’Reilly did not even personally know the victim’s father).
yikes, meant “know the victim,”
