11. O'Lielly ain't going to be able to keep his yap shut.
At some point, in the near future, O'Lielly will make some bone-headed statement about Ms. Mackris being out to get him or some such nonsense. He won't be able to resist putting his spin on this so I'm sure we haven't heard the last of f-gate.

51. not only that, but other women will be coming out of the woodwork
when they realize they missed a shot a millions of $$$$.

They won't have phone tapes like she did, so Fox won't settle or sue them. They won't have any recourse but to go to the media and sell their stories. O'Reilly will feign indignation, but shockingly, no libel suits will be filed.

12. Worst news I've heard all day in a good/bad news cycle
I wanted to hear the tapes. I wanted to hear BO'R defend his conduct.

Now, he writes a big check, goes on making shitloads of money spreading lies.

Edited on Thu Oct-28-04 07:03 PM by JPace
of O'Reilly's sicko sexual fantasies in grinding
detail cranked out hourly day after day week after
week until I want to throw up.

Thank Goodness Ms. Mackris settled....I hope she got many
millions. She deserves it for putting up with Bill.

25. O'Reilley = Dirty Scum
I know somebody who worked for O'Reilley. He told me there was no doubt that O'Reilley was caught with his pants down, 100% guilty as charged.

As you might guess, O'Reilley is as obnoxious, rude, arrogant, and hypocritical in real life as he is on TV.

and tour the country handing out sex toys to teenagers telling them how that could wreck their lives, if they were found out!

37. I'd sure hate to find that
someone, for example, hacked Drudge's site with such an article.

Sidenote to Mr. Ashcroft/FBI: this was meant only as a joke. My respect for fair play, such as that exhibited by your glorious leader, would prohibit me from seriously advocating this. Seriously.

31. If O'Lielly had just used a phone sex line at 9.99 a minute, he would
have been better off. Maybe next time he will. is
there one for food used as a sexual relief device?

43. News tonight spun it
Local newscaster said O'Rielly had denied the charges, which is incorrect. That's the beauty of it - he never denied it, just called it trash. It's worth it just to watch his groveling followers get shit on and still stand by their man.

47. Poor Keith Olbermann. We should send him sympathy cards.
Did any of you see that he had pledges of up to $127,000 I think it was tonight, to help pay for the tapes? lol.

Maybe someone from DU could oh, say, make a tape for Keith. Anyone have some good recording equipment and a good sense of humor?
Betcha could get some air play on Countdown! :bounce:
