We were on our way in to the Pepsi Center when out pops Bill-O.
Naturally, I felt it only hospitable to greet him.
A little context for the video:
In March, Slate.com editor Michael Kinsley infuriated O’Reilly by suggesting the Fox host’s background was less proletarian than he lets on (Washington Post, 3/1/01). O’Reilly makes much of his "working class" upbringing in Levittown, Long Island. His book’s dust-jacket bio begins: "Bill O’Reilly rose from humble beginnings to become a nationally known broadcast journalist," and O’Reilly says his father, who retired in 1978, "never earned more than $35,000 a year in his life."
But O’Reilly’s mother told a reporter her son actually grew up in Westbury, Long Island, a "middle-class suburb a few miles from Levittown," where he attended a private school (Washington Post, 12/13/00). His father’s $35,000 income in 1978 is equivalent to over $90,000 today in inflation-adjusted dollars.
I think of you when I shower, Bill. Call me!

The maternal part of me must chide you. I don’t think you really want Billo thinking of you in his “no spin zone.” He’s not a nice man.
oh you dishy lil thing you !
ps – loved, loved, loved that adorable canine visage on your twitter page:D
Mornin’
haven’t even indulged myself in your vid yet.
please pass this nugget on to Ms Hamsher:
Novakula rises from his deathbed to bitchslap Lieberweasel – true to form, he gets a lot wrong – calling him a “liberal democrat” “with few republican friends”
but she may get a kick out of it
link
don’t know who is hitting it harder, the dfh’s or the brethless kewl kidz, but link server very busy all morning.
Why wouldn’t Bill respond? I wonder if his hearing is shot from a painkiller addiction, too.
Great work, Pach!
breathless – jeebus
Can he really play an organ with a loofah?
Hi Pach. Watching C-Span, and a guy from “New Media Strategies” was talking about coverage from “the big Democratic blogs, like Daily Kos and Firedoglake…”
wow. Methinks we’ve been promoted.
sorry for the early OT.
Gotta go, check-out time.
Hmmm, successive posts: woods, bear. Hey Pach, I hope you were watching where you stepped…
That’s about 30 percent more than my father was making that same year, as an engineer with 40 years experience. It’s about twice what I’m making now.
BillO is a phony.
You do know now Pach that you are now stuck having to watch Bill to see if he responds and especially to see if Bill once he is
safe behind his mother’s skirtsback at the Fox News Studio makes any threats.lmao Pach!
But But if Center Dems Like Joe have no GOP friends and they are to the Right of the majority of Americans and we are not their friends then who is the Blue Dog/Center Dem power base the Lobbyists?
Will you sign my loofah …
707
Does anybody know what job BillO’s father had in 1978? I mean $35,000 is good pay in 1978.
per Pach’s latest Tweet:
this also caught my eye this am – al-Maliki talks outta turn:
says Boosh pushed for 2015 Pullout date
reuters
it’s hard on a Chimp
daddy was an accountant for CalTex . . .an oil company
By the time Bill-o reports the episode on the air, he’ll accuse Pach of foul language and death threats. We all know how much billo likes to exaggerate.
According to Wikipedia, Grandpapa Bear was an accountant for Caltex.
Caltex (for California-Texas) is an oil company joint venture of Standard Oil of California (now Chevron) and Texas Oil Company (now Texaco). It’s a major oil player in SE Asia.
I’ll bet he was as mean an SOB as Bill is. (I know that isn’t fair to say, never having met the man.)
And boy I can’t wait for Billo’s wife’s memoirs, and his kids
BillO Dearest.
Priceless!
That was FABULOUS! “Will you sign my loofah?” = instant classic
More Iraq news from Reuters: U.S. soldiers say they executed Iraqis on riverbank
What is worse that a father works hard his whole life to provide quite well by the way for his family.
And his son becomes even more successful than him but, his son in order to make that big money has to claim that his Dad was not a success.
Or that his son was poor but honest.
Is lots of money worth lying about everything on the news where the neighbors can see and putting your own family down as peasants while your Mother is still alive.
Which I’m sure embarrasses her to no end in front of her fancy friends in Westbury Long Island.
Where is Newt this is Class Warfare if I ever saw it.
from your cited article:
The agreement will provide a legal basis for U.S. troops to remain in Iraq after a United Nations mandate expires at the end of this year.
-snip-
U.S. officials stress that no final agreement has been made. A final deal will need to be approved by the Iraqi parliament.
So – the U.S. (read Bush administration) doesn’t give a shit about either the U.N. mandate running out, which leaves this country with no legal reason to remain in Iraq – and
the Iraqi parliament is more important to the Bushies than the Congress of The United States of America. Because what is being negotiated here is, by any sane interpretation, a treaty.
Bush administration – “Details, details, details. Details are for little
peopleauthoritarians.”So that part where Bill just keeps on walking is because big old Bill is scared of Pach? Cool!
Welcome to Minneapolis, Facists !
Then Obama could walk away from this deal by turning it over to Congress for approval. Good
True.
My question, among many, many others, is if Teh Surge was sooo successful, why are we still looking at more than three years before *either* side thinks that Iraq will have its shit sufficiently together?
Pach! great to hear from you! (**small tear from missing your posts)..
Thanks to all the FDL’ers — where would our sanity be without you??
I’m sure the GOP is regretting this convention already. First no prominent GOPer wants to be seen walking into the Airport toilet. They probably figure that Gay Bloggers with video cameras have all the stalls staked out.
Second No GOPer is going to feel safe crossing a bridge. I bet Bush comes in by Helicopter.
Now this, that was a Minneapolis bus stop ad right?
There are reasons why you don’t have Conventions in Cities where they don’t like you. What was Karl thinking?
If the surge worked so well why are the leaders of the awakening councils being arrested? Why is the media not covering this? What is going on in Kirkut? Why are there no provincial elections scheduled?
I’m still waiting for a spearker at the DNC to say the word “torture” or “criminal,” or to simply say that “John is unfit to be serve as commander in chief of our military.”
Obama should start using that line of questioning. That and he should point out the costs of staying in Iraq those extra years.
Then he should point out the cost with interest if McCain never pays off the National debt with the expected extra war spending.
Can we afford for the Dollar to get weaker as the National Debt keeps growing? Just how high will oil prices then get under McCain?
Which cities like the rethugs? Maybe Houston – it’s hurricane season and there are a ton of former enron employees there.
Uh maybe we lost control of the area and the MSM didn’t notice, or maybe because America knows how they will vote already and we don’t like who they will vote for?
I know lets ask John McCain to go he loves to go to Iraq to say the Surge is working.
Which cities like the rethugs?
Sorry drawing a blank.
well, I *did* say I had many, many other questions… *g*
I’m still waiting for a speaker at the DNC to say the word “torture” or “criminal,”
Seconded, most emphatically.
Shameless Soap Opera Media pushing the what’s Bill gonna do tonight storyline, virtually ignoring Biden today.
Today should be the veep’s moment…
The smoking gun archive on the O’Reilly/Mackris/Loofah/Felafel Sex Scandal is still the best. Reading the legal filing is a laugh riot! Ranks right up there with the other family values hypocrite Neil Bush’s divorce papers. Glad to see it’s still number 2 on the google.

OT
Montana Governor Schweitzer speech up on CSPAN 1 now
You did indeed. It just pisses me off that the rethugs are getting away w/ this narative of how successful the surge has been.
To find Billo’s families true addy look at the county and city librairies in the area where he lived and you might find one that has old phones books for genealogy research. Also, Latter Day Saints have genealogy info at local churches.
Last night Billo played a segment of him asking Obama to be on his show.
Pach,
I would think you would need a shower after being around that slime.
I see a T-Shirt in this…
Only 120 shopping days ’till Christmas!
Way OT –
Go over to HuffPo, scroll down in the center column to the story entitled “Katie Couric Shows Off Yoga Moves At HuffPost Oasis”, and take a look at the photo.
And the arrow.
*I* think it’s hilarious, but you gotta consider the source, I guess… *g*
if you keep in mind they have an 04 mindset -
Twin Cities gave them ad nauseum opportunities to sprinkle “heartland” in their speeches.
clueless about now competitive purple states, they were just gonna coronate Pawlenty and help Coleman
…or with Rachel Palouse then in charge, they may have had something more sinister in mind
besides, what were they gonna do, choose Salt Lake City or Boise ?
Damn. Damn. Damn.
Current projections have Gustav regaining hurricane status and heading straight for New Orleans. Might even be category 3 by then. The current National Hurricane Center projections would have it making landfall at New Orleans early Monday afternoon. Those rebuilt levies will not withstand that. And the damn rethugs are so busy attacking Obama and planning for McThesulah’s big party next week that you can bet they won’t have a plan.
Can we get a citizens’ movement going to send a ton of charter buses down there to get people out? I’ll gladly contribute. What would be the best organization for us to approach to get this started? I think this can be done and it is the best way to avoid another thousand deaths due to Bush’s incompetence.
saw it yesterday - contortionist
Karl still believes that his ‘agreement’ with Dibold will continue the Permanent Republic Majority, so every city is a friendly city.
but today there’s an *arrow* which, umm, “identifies” Katie….
The DNC should be constantly asking McCain how he will pay for the war and pay down the debt. Where’s the commercials asking which 45 states wants nuclear power plants?
They aren’t hitting him hard because they are all buddies. The gloves needed to come off yesterday!
Hey Pach, maybe if you’d asked BillO to have Andrea Mackris sign the loofah, he would have responded.
Or not.
“will you sing my loofah?”
mwahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Pach, you’re a naughty boy. i love it when you talk dirty to Bill-O ……
Maybe I have a superstitious horror of wingnuts, but I almost feel that calling on BrilloReilly is the equivalent of playing with a ouija board in a horror movie.
That’s one of our chihuahuas. Her name is Joy. And she is.
CNN said mentioned Gustav last night that it is their job to warn people of hurricans and they will have to break away from the GOP Convention coverage next week.
