Bill O'Reilly and the Fox News Channel producer accusing him of sexual harassment hit the airwaves yesterday in an increasingly ugly war of words as the anchor acknowledged that his career is on the line.

"I knew I was going to get vilified and vile stuff was going to be put out there," O'Reilly said in a telephone interview. "It's very embarrassing to have this stuff out there. Any human being would be depressed to see this. . . . This is the worst day of my life. . . . I have to protect the people closest to me. If I have to suffer, that's the way it has to be."

1. You know...

If he wants to be Jesus so bad, I'll bring the hammer if you bring the nails.

Bill O'Reilly and the Fox News Channel producer accusing him of sexual harassment hit the airwaves yesterday in an increasingly ugly war of words as the anchor acknowledged that his career is on the line.

"I knew I was going to get vilified and vile stuff was going to be put out there," O'Reilly said in a telephone interview. "It's very embarrassing to have this stuff out there. Any human being would be depressed to see this. . . . This is the worst day of my life. . . . I have to protect the people closest to me. If I have to suffer, that's the way it has to be."

O'Reilly said he could not, on his lawyer's advice, address producer Andrea Mackris's accusations that he subjected her to graphic phone-sex chats -- a tactic that her attorney, Benedict Morelli, seized upon.

"Guys like O'Reilly who like to espouse what right-wing Republicans espouse about family values shouldn't be doing stuff like this," he said, adding: "The man knows he did it. He finally got it through his thick skull that he did it, and he's not going to get away with it. . . . He's going down."

[Seabiscuit]

8. Yo, Billy -

Thanks to the cover of Al Franken's book we all got to see what you really *look* like (blotches and all). Now, thanks to this woman you harassed we all get to see what you *really are* like.

You're "going down", Billy. What goes around always comes around.

[Seabiscuit]

13. What's more, Billy -

The truth is *not* vilification, you pompous, lying, hypocritical jackass neo-con scum.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

76. Hey! watch who you're calling "Billy!"

LOL
:toast:

[Seabiscuit]

81. LOL!!! Whoops! Sorry 'bout that, Mr. Pilgrim...

:toast:

[KansDem]

103. "Sorry...about that, ...Pilgrim..."

(in our very best John Wayne impersonation...)

"We...won't make...that mistake...again, Pilgrim...
"No..we won't...
"Like HELL we won't!!!"

***POW!!!***

I forgot...which JW movie is this taken from?

[lebkuchen]

29. I haven't seen that cover. I will have a look.

No wonder Oriley is upset. He's probably been picked on as an ugly duckling all his life. Never developed any social skills, which is evident in light of this sexual harassment lawsuit.

[Seabiscuit]

33. Too bad you missed C-SPAN2's "Book Club" confrontation last spring

between Al Franken and O'Lielly. O'Lielly snarled about the picture of him on the cover of Al's book and Al walked over to him, put the book in his face, and offered to (1) replace it with a better picture of him if O'Lielly could provide one to him, or (2) air-brush the blotches out of the picture on the cover. :)

O'Lielly apparently didn't have any photos that didn't show the blotches, because all he could tell Al was to "shut up!"

Then Al went back to attacking O'Lielly about O'Lielly's phony claims about the Peabody awards, etc.

It was hilarious - Al really got under O'Lielly's skin - O'Lielly threw several classic shitfits during the broadcast.

[LiberalFighter]

55. And he use to be a high school teacher...

providing a role model to his students

[SpinalTeeJoint]

87. "this woman you harassed"

Wow! Did I miss a trial and conviction? Do you have a link to the guilty verdict? Has he been sentenced yet?

[jdj]

88. there are phone tapes sweeheart. lots of 'em.

And, well, you know O'Reilly, like Rush, has that very distinct voice that is so unmistakeable. And he likes to threaten people.

I'm glad I lived to see the worst day of O'Reillys life.

I bet Paul Krugman is loving this too.

[SpinalTeeJoint]

90. How can we get a listen to these tapes?

Are they uploaded yet?

[jdj]

119. the transcripts are on the smoking gun

I don't have a link, someone posted one on another thread.

[alphafemale]

95. Worst day...so far.

;-)

He ain't seen nothing yet.

[CO Liberal]

18. I'm Sure He's Gone Down Before

How else do you think he got the job at Fox???

:shrug:

[calimary]

105. I think I'll serve falafel on Election Night...

And some fried chicken, maybe?

Pretzels for snacks.

Some Wolf Blintzers.

Hard candy in honor of Ms. Crowley.

I'd offer beer but nobody drinks around here.

Maybe bottled water from France.

But definitely falafel.

[MADem]

112. Broccoli, lotsa broccoli!! n/t

[clydefrand]

5. Where do we meet? ;-)

I'll make him a crown of thorns.

[TexasSissy]

26. I'll bring the wine. Anyone got cheese?

[alarcojon]

27. No, O'Shithead has the whine!

B-)

[0007]

98. A Jackass for Bill to ride on will be needed!

[Seabiscuit]

86. Or does he want to be Saint Sebastian?

Persecution/martyr complex, anyone?

[xxqqqzme]

91. eggs-zack-ly

get off the cross bill, someone needs the wood.

[calimary]

102. You're too late, Flagius. He's going to be showing off the stigmata

on his hands and feet on his next show. The lance into his side he'll save to reveal on the following evening. Because he's lookin' out... for YOU.

[MADem]

118. The weecowboy can bring the WOOD! n/t

[wtmusic]

2. If O'Reilly has to suffer

that's the way it has to be.

:P

[PROGRESSIVE1]

3. O'Reilly better "Go Down"!

I'd love to see him off the air. O'Reilly is the Goebells of the 21st Century!

[skip fox]

48. Wow. You saw Amiri Baraka's appearance on O'Reilly?

That's what Baraka called him.

[jdj]

122. Go LeRoi! n/t

[Eloriel]

65. Oh, you flatter him

He's not smart enough to be equated to the Goebbels. He's just a junior hack.

[JuniorPlankton]

6. Yes, O'Liely

you HAVE to suffer

:nopity:

[AP]

7. There must be tapes or he'd deny that he said the stuff. It sounds like

he's conceding that he said the things alleged and he's willing to call it vile.

That's interesting.

[MADem]

114. He's going for the "she ASKED for it" defense

Swear to God--he thinks he's Kobe Bryant! There's a big difference between a hotel worker with a HS education and an executive producer making almost a hundred K with a college degree. She was ready for him--and good for her. No one should have to put up with that crap, especially when you tell them more than once to cut it out. She should not have to choose between a paycheck and ANY kind of abuse.

I can't wait for the release of the tapes--I want to hear him speak the famous "middle eastern delicacy and shower scrub" line! The hilarity, the absolutely totally decadent, voyeuristic and prurient interest in not the sex part, but the listening to him making a total ass of himself part! Such delight!

That is probably why she went for such a high paycheck--it's worth it to him to never have those tapes played, EVER. The coarse language, the suspicious buzzing in the background, his descriptions of what he was doing (you KNOW she held the really GOOD stuff back). I'm sure his pregnant wife is less than delighted with the transcripts, as they are--the tapes will ensure she takes whatever he has left in the divorce.

Gee, couldn't happen to a nicer guy!

[jdj]

123. "La Acusadora"

that's what the spanish papers are calling her, apparently it's spanish for the accuser. I love the way that sounds.

I could really run with this, I see her dressed up as a matador, waving the red cloth at O'Reilly. I love the fact that she worked for Fox and is probably a repuke. Funny how they are eating their own with a vengeance this year.

[jdj]

125. Mackris bears a resemblance to the female character in O'Reilly's book

Naturally, there's a complicating factor thrown into the equation, and it's spelled B-A-B-E. O'Malley and Michaels are in love with the same woman, Ashley Van Buren, a 31-year-old tabloid reporter with a "large bust that both helped and hurt her" career. The Vassar grad, employed by a newspaper that has all the markings of the New York Post, is tenacious in her quest for the truth. Assigned to cover the murders, she gets personally involved with both of the O'Reilly personas. At first, she cannot resist the charms of the evil O'Reilly — and the narrator tells us why, in the form of a dating tip. "Shannon had learned a long time ago that being coy was an essential part of flirting. Women liked confident men, but they also liked little boys. For men, the trick was to combine the two qualities."

Sticking with convention, though, the good O'Reilly — that is, not the psychopathic murderer — gets the girl in the end. "Her painful, dangerous ordeal had turned into one of the most joyous times of her life," we learn on the last page. The scene takes place on a Caribbean beach, where the narrator waxes on. "Out of confusion and chaos, Ashley Van Buren had found clarity and happiness. And, as she wrapped her slender arms around Tommy's thick neck, she hoped those new feelings would deepen and last forever." For his part, O'Malley "was naked and at attention."

Yes, no thriller would be complete without sex, and the inimitable quality of O'Reilly's erotic prose in Those Who Trespass has been extensively documented on Salon and elsewhere. Still, it's worth noting a few things about O'Reilly's writing. Kirkus Reviews calls the language "wooden"; one could stick to the simpler adjective "bad." Within the first 10 pages, for example, we're treated to "the clouds were assembling in the west," "is intense sexual hunger was apparent to anyone who bothered to notice," and "he did what he usually did when gratification eluded him — he got unpleasant."

http://www.powells.com/review/2004_02_27.html

and that last sentence is straight from the horse's, er, romance novel. Their is also a cunnilingus scene in the book, but as far as I know, no mention of falafel.

[MADem]

126. OH. MY. God!

That is some of the most UNPLEASANT WRITING I have ever, ever seen!

It is creepy, we know just where he was looking for inspiration. Ugh! One needs to shower after being exposed to that--it is positively FOUL!

[olddem43]

9. Apparently, O'Liely wanted to go down and -

wanted her to also.

[sniffa]

10. BOR wouLd Love to go down

after getting in the shower and touching your breasts; getting your nips aLL hard... and reaching for that faLafeL and using it..

[obnoxiousdrunk]

17. What is faLafeL ?

Sorry had to ask.

[Dogmudgeon]

23. It's a Jewish Taco

An Israeli chickpea sandwich kind of thing.

--bkl

[sniffa]

24. (deep fried?) chick peas

[Milo_Bloom]

74. Isn't it Greek?

A Falafel is a vegetarian patty deep fried in oil. YUM!

http://www.ziyad.com/recipes/falafel_recipe.htm

Just make sure you have plenty of bean-o before eating!

[bahrbearian]

80. Yes it is Greek ,, Ground up Garbanzo Beans ( Chick Peas)

[illuminaughty]

93. Sorry, it is Middle Eastern

I lived on a Greek cruise ship for a year and I always looked forward to Egypt(Wednesday) and Haifa in Israel (Thursday) because I could get falafel sandwiches. I've never seen falafel sold in Greece.
And it is the Palestinians who owned the falafel shops in Haifa. It is one city where Arabs and Israelis have managed to co-exist fairly well.

I still haven't checked out what the hell O'Reilly is talking about when he mentions the falafel. Afraid to.

[JoFerret]

82. Delicious

all over the middle east and served from carts all over NYC...made from ground chick peas, squished into balls and fried. Served with pita and bits.

[plcdude]

11. the arrogant

victim. He is completely outrageous and a liar as the Franken book clearly shows and now as his producer has shown also. If there are tapes then it's over Bill.

[shanti]

12. karma...

you know!

[benito]

14. you can't argue with the Karma n/t

[UpInArms]

15. O'Really has been

taking advantage of the over the top lying for years - thus making that record hard to sue against for "truthfulness" - a known liar cannot be sued for lying easily.

But this "fine upstanding GOP-loving" bigot has heralded himself as a paragon of virtue - easily proven to be a huge lie with the proper evidence.

:evilgrin:

[Seabiscuit]

21. O'Lielly's penchant for lying

does not make him any less suable. It's not an element in sexual harassment claims.

[UpInArms]

32. that is what I said -

and the known lying issue will definitely not go in O'Really's favor - as it shows that anything and everything that falls from his loose slobbery lips lacks credibility.

[Seabiscuit]

34. OK. Gotcha.

[calimary]

106. The bigger they are, the harder they fal(afel)l...

sorry. Couldn't help myself.

[MADem]

116. CLEVER! n/t

[movonne]

16. I could not be happier....I don't remember doing the Clinton thing

how this jerk acted. I never, never watch Faux news so I have no idea what he said about Clinton...

[Momof1]

19. Jon Stewart should get all the clips from O'Reilly

Where he said that Clinton was....(fill in the blanks) About his sexual behavior then run the morning clip from the Producer the other day.

Show him for the lying liar he is...lol.

And the complete hypocrite.

O'Reilly is going down

LOL

[alexisfree]

20. thank you.

[napi21]

22. Did you hear the people on cspan this morning about this?

I couldn't believe it! RWers were saying , awe, everybody makes mistakes, I like him, and I'll keep listening; He's being set up by them damn lefties; He's a good honest man, and I don't believe he did it, and if he did, she asked for it!

Brian Lamm was good too, he even asked some of these idiots what about Clinton. How'd you feel about that? Well, Clinton was a bad man who got caught but never punished. Brian asked what about the impeachment? The guy said, well yea, but nothing happened to him!

I love cspan, but I've got to learn to mute the damn TV for every other call!!!

[LibDemAlways]

40. Re: C-span and muting every other call--

Me too. The wingnuts they allow on are too far gone. Unfortunately, the "Supporters of Senator Kerry" they choose to broadcast are often inarticulate and uninformed as well. One morning I called in, was screened, put on hold, and promptly disconnected. Washington Journal routinely quotes from the Moonie Times and has a parade of administration shills to parrot the party line. Balanced it isn't.

[napi21]

53. I don't think they're biased.

I really do wath it evrey day, and although I don't keep count, I see one guest from each side all the time. I don't know about how they handle the phones, but I have noticed that some of the hosts screw up the phone buttons all the time! The worst with the buttons is Brian. I think he does the best interviewing job of any of them, but he's sure bad with the phone buttons!

[jdj]

121. They get 4 times as many calls from dems.

I was watching one Sunday morning, they had 4 lines lit up with dems and one line for repukes that was dead silent. Brian has to beg repukes to call sometimes.

[0007]

100. You gotta be kidding!

[joeunderdog]

59. Freepers are bummed over there.

They are all bent because he was provocative with Queen Ann Coulder and her "little skirt." Alot of them were just plain disgusted. I was surprised.

[depakid]

25. Krugman must be loving this...

"What will hurt him is there's so many weird and bizarre details, and weird details stick in people's minds, like Monica's blue dress."

Exactly.

[yardwork]

28. Like falafel.

[MADem]

37. Wasn't that FUNNY!!!

One minute, in his sick little mind, he's getting kinky with his producer, the next minute he has a craving for good middle eastern food!!! Either that, or he's never had the pleasure of good middle eastern food, and in his experience, falafel tastes just like a loofah!

He wanted the plantiffs to release the tape (so he says) but what that really was about was he wanted to see their hand. Also, if they released a tape, he could work to get it thrown out. They have him on tape, make no mistake, with all the battery-buzzing background noise. Oh, how SALACIOUS! It makes for a good laugh, and it could not happen to a "nicer" guy!!!!

I'll tell ya, Roger Ailes has got to be bullshit--DildO'Reilly basically told that woman that Faux rules the world. I can't wait to hear THAT part of the tape, how Faux has the ear of the White House and can destroy Al Franken. A real lesson in how the combination of perverse desire combined with power and lack of conscience can destroy one!

[daleo]

30. O'Reilly wishes he was going down

On his female coworker he was harassing. So little time, so many bad puns.

On edit - Upon reading the whole thread, lots of people used that one (not surprising).

[jdj]

124. Christ!!! St. Mel Gibson has the rights to O'Reilly's book!!

"No, he's selling his first work of fiction, Those Who Trespass: A Novel of Murder and Television. Originally published in 1998 by a small press, it was rereleased last week in a Broadway Books trade-paper edition. Mel Gibson has already optioned the rights for the movie, certainly a change of pace from the Passion of the Christ."

http://www.powells.com/review/2004_02_27.html

What's next, a collaboration between Mel and O'Reilly called "The Passion of the Falafel"?

[Say_What]

31. Poor O'Lielly. He can dish it out, but he sure can't take it. WHINER!!

what a POS. Pray that he gets everything he deserves and that she has TAPES!! :bounce:

[takumi]

35. God has come through again!

[NVMojo]

96. i prayed for this too!! and i usually don't pray!

we need more repuke sex scandals!!! Yippee, skippee!!!

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

36. O'Liarly - don't forget to apologize for the Iraq WMD lie before you go

You don't want to leave a journalistic record completely devoid of ANY honor, do you?

[truthisfreedom]

38. juicy snippets

Green said Fox and O'Reilly are amending their lawsuit to seek court permission to fire Mackris without that being considered retaliatory action. But Morelli said it was exactly that and called the extortion accusation "garbage." "The fact that they brought a lawsuit against her and me is illegal," he said. "They're digging their own graves deeper and deeper."


Plato Cacheris, a former lawyer for Lewinsky, said potential plaintiffs negotiating for money is "very routine: 'I'm thinking of suing you but I'd like to discuss a settlement.' "
--------------
...an unusually downcast O'Reilly didn't sound like he was enjoying the combat yesterday. "Two weeks ago, I had no clue my life was going to take a turn like this," he said. "I have a 30-year record." He said that while the case might be hard for journalists to write about, "it's a thousand times harder for me to sit here in my little chair and contemplate what people are saying about me."

[Seabiscuit]

42. Yo, Bozo Bill!

You don't have to "sit her in my little chair and comtemplate what people are saying about me."

Come on over to DU and just read this thread!

[roguevalley]

45. The CNN legal analyst said that Fox's/O'Reilly's lawsuit was frivolous

and should be chucked out shortly. Second 'laughed out of court' lawsuit O'Reilly cost them. I'd dock their pay. If I was Franken, I would take out a restraining order against Ailes and Bill-bo.

[Seabiscuit]

46. Fox's lawyers are incompetent asses

Yes, this is the second frivolous lawsuit they've filed in less than a year, and yes its claims and requests for relief are ludicrous. "Hey, judge, is it ok to retaliate against the plaintiff by firing her without it beeing deemed retaliation???"

Friggin' worthless marooons.

[Princess Turandot]

66. Can someone sue a person in civil court for something that is a crime..

in this case, extortion, where no criminal charges have been made against the woman by law enforcement? Didn't he file his suit first?
That didn't make a lot of sense to me, but I thought that was what I read.

Bill Cosby was involved in a case a few years ago, when a woman asking him for money, claiming that she was his daughter, was tried in federal court for a blackmail scheme. That was in federal court, I assume because 2 different states were involved, and a tape recording was allowed as evidence. She was found guilty.

[Seabiscuit]

77. In many cases there are both civil and criminal remedies for the same

conduct. E.g., "battery". It's both a crime and a cause of action for civil money damages and injunctive relief (court orders).

Sex discrimination, however, is a purely civil matter.

A victim of a crime does not have to press criminal charges in order to bring a civil suit. Although in most such cases, a civil suit will be more likely to succeed once a criminal conviction is obtained.

In Fox's case, I haven't seen the Complaint so I don't know all of the trumped up allegations against this woman, but I have heard it involves requesting the court for an order allowing them to fire her in retaliation for her public complaints against O'Reilly without it being deemed retaliatory, which is absurd on its face and which will, I'm sure, be summarily thrown out of court. Beyond that, who knows what's in the fetid imagination of Fox's incompetent lawyers? If the woman hasn't filed suit against O'Reilly yet, I'm sure it's just a matter of time before it happens, after reading what her attorney has to say.

[MADem]

117. She WASN'T his daughter, and he KNEW IT

He HAD banged her mother though, and they tried to shake him down, counting on him not wanting to ruin his good guy image. But he KNEW she wasn't his kid, so he preemptively sued her. He had to confess to the wife, but even if he gave her the money he would have given the girl, it would at least stay in the family.

[Auntie Bush]

120. I love that picture. Giggle every time I see it.

[freeplessinseattle]

39. a few thoughts

I have no idea if her timing is partially politically motivated, but if so I'm sure it's only secondary to the rest of her distress. what is probable is that olielly has become even worse in recent weeks b/c of the good news for Kerry, so he became more aggressive b/c he is an angry little, blotchy man.


so what is she returned after he promised to change-the fact that she asked him to stop is a factor in the definition of sexual harassement anyway, and if she hadn't left they could just say that she never expressed she didn't like his, um, "attentions", been done before.


ok, this is embarassing, but I'm wondering about the legalities of recording phone conversations, there's got to be something that can help her case technically. about 20 or so years ago when I was a pre-adolescent growing up in Salt Lake City (my excuse for the following_ my friend and I got caught making prank phone calls. this one number we had called repeatedly traced our calls apparentely b/c one morning a cop showed up at my family's doorstep and told my mom all about it, another cop visited my friend. then when we met with the juvenile deliquent people (seemed a bit harsh, I have no record of anything, ever) they read excerpts from what we said, I will never forget that moment and how embarassed and ashamed I was, I didn't even know what some of the words I said meant, and told my mom that, as if that helped. so I guess that was the punishment, an extremely awkward family (though my mom decided not to tell my dad b/c he would not take it as well as she did, my mom is very cool). so long story short, how did they legally have transcripts if it's illegal to tape? or maybe they just traced the numbers and the convos were written down simply to embarass us in front of our family? that would make sense, especially in Utah.

I can hardly wait for the nextnew Daily Show!!

[LiberalFighter]

56. In your case they probably had a subpoena or just a complaint

from the person being pranked.

[Princess Turandot]

63. Each state has different laws concerning recording phone calls

plus there are also federal statutes. Here's a link to a site with some info:

http://www.callcorder.com/phone-recording-law-america.htm

It says that in NYS, only one party consent is needed, but that judges do not always allow the recordings into court.

[Carolina]

72. that's good news about NY

Otherwise the repukes would do everything possible to have the tapes suppressed. Yet remember Linda Tripp taped Monica Lewinsky in Howard County, MD where one-sided taping was illegal and in fact, the Radio Shack guy told her so when she bought the gizmo to tape her phone calls with Monica. But she was NEVER charged with or penalized for breaking the law AND the content of many of the tapes became common knowledge. That's how "the elves" and that Newsweak SOB Michael Isikoff got wind of the infamous blue dress!

So much for GOP respect of the law. I hate these bastards!

[Seabiscuit]

78. In most states, as in California, I suspect

that it's merely a matter of evidence law. It's not illegal per se to tape someone's phone conversation. But if not obtained with consent of the person against whom the tape is introduced as evidence, the tape is inadmissible as evidence. In California, there taping devices have to emit a beep about every 20 seconds to notify the person on the other end of the line that they're being taped. In addition, the person taping has to orally tell the person the conversation is being taped. All of this must be on a seemless recording in order for the taped record to be admitted into evidence.

IOW, it's strictly a matter of evidence law and admissibility in court proceedings.

As there was no court proceeding in the Lewinsky/Impeachment matter, Tripp's recordings of Lewinsky's phone conversations were never offered into evidence in a court proceeding, so there was never a ruling. They merely became a part of the special prosecutor's report in the impeachment investigation. Ken Starr used them cynically in the impeachment proceedings because he knew he could get away with damaging Clinton that way. But Ken Starr never subsequently filed a claim against Clinton for perjury, as vacuously threatened, because, in part, he knew he couldn't get those tapes admitted in court as evidence against Clinton.

[Philostopher]

107. We watched Norville last night.

There were two cable/news industry guys and James Wolcott, the Vanity Fair editor who's started his own weblog (and ain't too kind to the media in it, especially cable 'news shows'). The consensus of Wolcott, the two industry guys and Norville was that this woman was in the right to tape the 'Loofah Dialogues' and that O'Really had no leg to stand on if she had tapes because she was well within her rights to do so. They didn't discuss whether or not the tapes were admissible as evidence in a sexual harassment suit, but the general consensus was that if she had taped the conversations she detailed, she very likely had a good case.

[MADem]

115. Some states allow one-party taping

..in that only ONE party on the line has to be aware of the record. MD is not one of those, which was why Linda Tripp had problems. But some states do allow it.

[Doosh]

41. Bye Bye Loofa Boy!!!! Hannity is next!

:nuke:

[Catfight]

52. I think Insannity is the worst of the bunch, he is so full of hate that

he makes Satan look like a good guy.

[Doosh]

57. even worse than Limbaugh

who has grown old and boring over the years, Hannity has picked up the torch as the new spawn of Satan, we need to tear him down and soon. The fringe lunatic right must be stopped.

[bushwakker]

68. El Rushbo has lost his fastball

the o-c thing really hurt him. while he maintains his audience his cred even with them is zero. he's just a clown.

[blue agave]

43. Wonder if the freepers are having another meltdown ...

They are having a rather tough week, ahhhh.

Tuesday; Kerry pulls ahead in the national polls.

Wednesday; Uncurious George makes another fool of himself at the debate.

Thursday; The Cheneys' family values facade crumbles under the weight of poor Mary's gay lifestyle.

Today; O'Liely's sexual perversion and harrassing behavior is exposed front and center.

What evil "librul" plots will tomorrow bring ?

[kayell]

61. Topped off by Friday2: Rove testifies to grand jury for 2 1/2 hours and is

escorted out by US marshalls.

44. Personally, I don't think this will hurt him

The right wing rank and file don't care a speck about the corruption and lack of integrity of their spokespeople. As long as their out there spewing the crap that allows them to be selfish, hateful and bigoted, anything is alright with them.

[depakid]

47. I dunno- sex scandals are a horse of a different color

The right doesn't care about honesty or ethics, but a nasty sex scandal- that'll bring down the best of 'em. Just ask House Speaker-designate Bob Livingston....

[LiberalFighter]

58. Him using a vibrator while masturbating has to make his supporters

think he is twisted.

[Philostopher]

108. In other words ...

there's a difference between being a butt-plug and actually using a butt-plug.

[Seabiscuit]

109. In O'Lielly's case there doesn't seem to be a difference.

:evilgrin:

89. They are a minority. Evey dog has his base.

It jettisons his credibility with a larger group of reasonable people, just like Rush's addiction story did.

Keep'em small.

[JimmyJazz]

49. I put this up in another post, but I think it bears repeating:

Here is a copy of Mr. Morelli's resume. He's pretty much of a power house in this particular field.

[daleo]

70. His resume reads like a conservative's bad dream

All that trial lawyering. And named as one of America's top lawers.

[JimmyJazz]

85. I was hoping someone would notice - those damn trial lawyers!!!!

:7

[yellowcanine]

50. Somewhat unfortunate choice of words by the attorney. Do you think

he meant anything by that?

[camero]

51. Dild O'Lielly can cry me a river

Nothing like repug family values eh? He should've thought of what would happen before he opened his yapp about his sexual preferences.

[sofa king]

62. O'Vibely Vision!

[lovuian]

54. Karma is a Bitch!!!

You reap Bill what you sow!!!

[Chicago Democrat]

110. Om

[stlsaxman]

60. So first Rush now O'Rielly... maybe BOTH will be going down...

on their cellmate Bubba McUgly in the penetentiary! One can only hope.

64. Franken on the Cross-Examination

O'Reilly is in a tough spot. He has made too many statements that contain half-truths, or that are flat-out false. These statements can be used to im[each, and can provide some ammuintion with which to start building a killer cross-examination. And, there has yet to be a single deposition. This one will be fun to follow!

[Vox_Reason]

67. Calling Marv Albert... Calling Marv Albert...

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

I haven't heard every minute, but to Franken's credit, I haven't heard him piling on during his show the last couple of days, as much as I'm sure he'd like to!

[stickdog]

69. Funny, that's what she said he said. (nt)

[Old and In the Way]

71. The Harder the Come, the Harder They Fall

Sorry, couldn't resist....

[ladybugg33]

73. She must have tapes. If she does, it's over for O'Reilly. If she doesn't

the RW fanatics will clobber her but good. She and her family will have to into a foreign witness protection program. I think they will have to move to Canada.

[Seabiscuit]

79. I have a feeling she's got something better than tapes...

i.e., other women in similar positions at Fox who will make the same claims against O'Reilly in court.

[hughee99]

75. "You're going down"

Isn't that what O'Reilly said to the producer to get him into trouble in the first place?

[ignatius 2]

83. Hey O'Reilly..SHUT UP..somebody pull the mike..this is delicious,

O'reilly on the receiving end. Limbaugh, Bill Bennett and now O'Reilly. Soon there will be enough fallen repuke hypocrites to have a parade. Maybe it's time for the media to look into the Scarborough aides death so he can join the rest of the creeps and lying, self righteous hyocrites.

[opiate69]

84. Tom Leykis' $50,000 offer...

today, on his show Tom Leykis offered to donate $50,000 out of his personal account to the charity of O'Reilly's choice if "Dilldo" would simply look in to the camera and say "these allegations against me are categorically not true".. and then spent the better part of 2 hours saying that he's read and heard almost everything about this breaking case, and that is the one thing O'Reilly simply has not said... leading him to believe whole-heartedly that there are, in fact, tapes... and if they get out, Leykis will get them.

[jdj]

92. Oh my God, he's going to rub her boobs with falafel!!!

http://thesmokinggun.com/archive/1013043mackris16.html (it's section 77, the carribean shower fantasy
Here's the guys webpage, he's earmarked some juicy tidbits:
http://www.blowmeuptom.com/index2.html

I can't read this without hearing O'Reilly bloviating to her.

Colin Quinn said she couldn't have anything good on tape because he dildo would just interrupt her the whole time and then give her thirty seconds at the end. Pretty funny, coming from him.

[Skittles]

94. her boobs?

guess again:

[NVMojo]

97. what a deranged self righteous idiot

and they let this asshole write books for kids??

[Skittles]

99. THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!!!

:D

[Seabiscuit]

104. Yeah...

I think O'Lielly was talking about rubbing her taco with a falafel (his idiot name for a shower loofa which fits over his hand). What a freak!

[Seabiscuit]

101. Just read the Plaintiff's Complaint filed October 13, 2004

here: http://thesmokinggun.com/archive/1013043mackris1.html

Clearly, Andrea Mackis isn't the first O'Lielly victim at Fox. And clearly, this pig is a disgusting pervert who thinks he can get away with anything. Just take a look at paragraphs 54 and 55 of the Complaint: http://thesmokinggun.com/archive/1013043mackris11.html and
http://thesmokinggun.com/archive/1013043mackris12.html.

He's even threatening Al Franken: "The person gets what's coming to them but never sees it coming. Look at Al Franken, one day he's going to get a knock on his door and life as he's known it will change forever. That day will happen, trust me."

Man, this sick twisted fuck deserves hard time in a place where the prison population won't just be talking to him about electric vibrators.

[Seabiscuit]

111. Aw, what the heck...

:kick:

[Zen Democrat]

113. A lot of the wingnuts are pissed at O'Reilly for dissing the Swiftboaters.

He didn't believe them and thought it was a big mistake to attack Kerry's military record. The wingers were freaking over this. I heard some on the radio and they were raging never to listen to him again.
