Pelosi Won't Go On 'The Factor' Because Of O'Reilly's 'Disrespect' For Obama

Catherine Thompson – February 6, 2014, 3:29 PM EST1906


House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D) won't be appearing on "The O'Reilly Factor" anytime soon.

A reporter for Bill O'Reilly's Fox News program confronted Pelosi on Thursday during her weekly press conference, according to Politico, because she had apparently promised O'Reilly at the Kennedy Center Honors that she would sit down for an interview.

“We know you’re a woman of your word,” the reporter said. “We’ve been calling your office and they’ve said you’ve been busy in February, March, April, June … I’m wondering, I know you’re a woman of your word, and I’m asking if you’re going to be honoring your commitment.”

“Well, I didn’t make any commitment to him, we were having a social conversation," Pelosi declined. "In fact, it was at the White House, the first time I ever saw him because I never see him on TV. But then Greta came along and I’ve known her for a very long time, so I did Greta."

The minority leader had appeared on fellow Fox News host Greta Van Susteren's program during the State of the Union address.

“One of these days, it’s open ended," she added. "One of these days maybe I will. I was not pleased with the disrespect that he showed to the president, so that wasn’t a warmer upper."

“What was disrespectful?” the reporter asked.

“It speaks for itself,” Pelosi said.

O'Reilly would disagree. He blasted the media for framing the questions during his sit-down with Obama, which aired Sunday ahead of Super Bowl XLVIII, as typically "Republican." That interview, he said, is "going to go down in journalistic history."

[FarPoint]

4. Exactly!

It's a no brained for me.

[Squinch]

2. No one ought to be giving interviews to these morons. I don't know why Obama legitimized him

by doing that interview.

[shenmue]

3. Yay for her

Fox is worse than hantavirus, I say.

[Gothmog]

5. I agree with Pelosi's decision

She should not go on O'Reilly's show. He is a blowhard and an idiot.

7. I'm reminded of an old quote

"He respects himself so much he relieves others of the duty of having to respect him at all."

15. Pelosi did the blowhard a favor. She'd have cut him into mincement within minutes...

[sheshe2]

19. True, that!

See how easy it is to bring bonehead to tears.

[adirondacker]

13. Let O'Reilly invite The Rude One on his show. Open Mic, No cutting the cable, no censuring :)

Mike Malloy would be another good contender to cut through his bullshit.

I might even watch if either of those two were on is show.

[babylonsister]

14. The Rude One...I'd definitely watch! :) nt

[freshwest]

16. Or Blunt and Cranky! He'd show him! n/t

[libdem4life]

17. Wisdom. Disrespect for the President...across the globe...and O'Reilly's ratings will go up.

Thank you, Nancy.

18. I wouldn't go on that show because he is a talking penis in a suit

He is a medical curiosity, that's about it.
