Camp Striker dining facility becomes ‘No-Spin Zone’
. . .

It was fitting, then, that Bill O’Reilly, host of the Fox News talk show “The O’Reilly Factor” – dubbed the ‘No Spin Zone’ - came to visit the Camp Striker, Iraq dining facility Dec. 15.

. . .

Sgt. 1st Class Vivienne Pacquette of St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands and a supply sergeant for the 2nd BCT, had the opportunity to eat next to O’Reilly and speak with him.

“He was very down-to-earth and easy to talk to,” she said.

“I asked him why he’d come, and I was impressed that he said it was just to say thanks. It’s great to see a person of that stature to have such passion for the troops,” Pacquette said. “He’s in a position to talk to Americans about what we’re doing here.”

O’Reilly said that he found the experience a little different than he’d expected.

“The camp is interesting,” he said. “I’m impressed with the organization here – the camp is a lot bigger than I expected.”

1. "A person of that stature" - Bwahahahahaha.
Slithering on his belly, maybe.

That poor Sgt. must have led a very dull life if the likes of BloReilly impress her.

2. Maybe
Faux hand picked who he sat with. Either that or the ones disgusted with him made sure to sit far, far away.

3. You can bet it was scripted and sterilized. Fox leaves nothing to chance.

5. Well, "small" people usually don't have much compassion for others
of course, once the camera was off, he'd be sure to go back to his normal, bullshit self ...

(note: small does not refer to height ... referring to soul ...)

4. He wasn't on TV Thursday or Friday.
They said he was on assignment and would have a "Special Report" Monday.
Gee...I wonder what that's all about! :sarcasm:
