On Faux imminently the Loofah King's dust-up...n/t

[PCIntern]

On edit: they're not gonna show bill's tape until monday...that'll give them enough time to see if there's another tape and if they can edit it so he looks OK.

I'd love this guy to press charges against the Loofah Man...well, not really, why waste time and get O'Lielly's name all over the place.

1. What are you talking about? This post is opaque.

Did O'Reilly do something? If so, what? Provide a link to a DU post that explains it, please.

(I'm still pissed about that business about Glenn Beck. He had an operation of some kind, and suddenly realizes how bad health care is in the US. But everybody is too busy making "head up ass" jokes to come out and say exactly what operation he had in reality.)

2. Watch the Hillary speech

on CSpan now. BillO stuck in with a plant.

4. Apparently not. O'Reilly roughed up an Obama staffer.

I found the news (where else?) on the ABC web site.

http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalradar/2008/01/oreilly-tangles.html

..it was a reporter, FOX’s Bill O’Reilly, who got in a tete-a-tet with Obama’s National Trip Director, Marvin Nicholson...

O’Reilly took things into his own hands…literally. He maneuvered around the steel gate barricade, yelled expletives at Nicholson, and called him 'low class."

In an interview after the incident, Nicholson said, "He grabbed me with both arms and tried to push me out of the way."

Secret Service then stepped in and told O’Reilly to get back.

After the commotion, Obama shook hands with O’Reilly.

Nicholson, however, said he’d never seen anything like it.

"I've never seen a member of the press lay hands on a staffer before."

The last quote is not quite correct; O'Reilly has really wanted to lay his hands on staffers...his own female staffers. But he's only worked his way up to phone calls so far.

3. Bill made the round at candidate events... when at the Obama event

he was seen (someone has pictures that I think are posted on HuffPo) screaming at a staffer, because he couldn't get closer to Obama, then BillO shoves the staffer at which time, reportedly, secret service agents have to come over to BillO and stand at both sides of him. Eventually he got to speak with Obama for a few seconds.

That is the nutshell version.

5. I'm so sorry...

in my haste to post, so that people could switch to Faux, I clean forgot the rules of DU.

I'm going out to cut off the pinky of my left hand in self-retibution.

6. Mr. Bill: " ..no one on this earth is going to block a shot on 'The O'Reilly Factor'."

SS: "WTF! Sounds like something Lee Harvey Oswald might have said!"

Anyway, I would like to think that's what the Secret Service agents protecting Obama were thinking. I would like to think, too, that a couple of big SS agents had their size-11s on Bill-O's red neck while another agent tased his crotch. Mr. Bill-O is seriously Sick-O.
