At the beginning of the week he looked like he was in repentive mode, then as the week went on, and he apologized to his listeners and basically admitted his guilt/involvement. Seeing him tonite he appears to be his old pompous shitbag self again. Do ya think he's forgiven and this will just fade into the background? The only show that seems to be keeping it alive is Olberman with his nightly Countdown to the O'Reilly Case. Keith seems to really have it in for O'Reilly. Tonight when he was showing all the female MSNBC producers I was almost expecting him to boast that he never got freaky with his producer!
Anyway, I just can't believe that Bill is getting away with this. Even SJIHBO isn't hammering him.
Kills me.

the felafel has been fully swallowed.
(not that I'm an expert or anything, I'm just imagining what deep psychological messages may lurk in the dark recesses of O'Lielly's loofah.

2. You're forgetting the basic principle of celebrity guilt |
|
It's just another form of P.R. Look at Martha, with news stories about the goodies she's baking for her fellow inmates and how she's having to turn away all the gifts her fans are showering her with.
(Note: this only applies to minor offenses like securities fraud and sexual harassment. It doesn't apply to a hanging offense like masturbation, as Pee Wee Herman found.)

12. um, O'Reilly masturbated, or did you miss that. |
|
That's the funny joke Colin Quin told tonight, he said O'Reilly was writing a new kids book called "The Moan on the Phone"! That was hilarious, the cover illustration was like Dr. Suess books. That's about the third funny thing i've ever heard colin say.

....stick a fork in him he is done. He will be sharing pain medication with Rush and working at a little radio station in The deep red south by next year....Fox hates to lose money, even if it means the Left prevails on issue!
Bye Bill, you will write won't you?
:evilgrin:

Thanks

He can ignore it all he likes, but he's about to get reamed.

13. O'Lielly isn't going anywhere |
|
He's a cash cow to FOX and has blind minions of zealous followers ala Rush. Even if there were tapes and pictures, those O'Lielly-ites would still say it was some sort of a conspiracy, form a write in campaign to save O'Lielly to FOX and then probably boycot something (memorex, polaroid?)...
Neo-cons think only progressive "sinners" need to be removed from the public eye. Conservtive screw ups are youthful indiscretions...

16. I don't know if the religious angle will get him |
|
But it will be difficult to withstand the embarrassment factor once the tapes get out into the wild. I can't see anyone listening to him without wanting to laugh. I mean cheating on a spouse is one thing, but wanking on the phone is another.

I'll guarantee you he isn't laughing this off. If the phone conversations were indeed taped he's in trouble and he knows it. If and when they are made public CNN and MSNBC will be running them and they'll be in every corner of the internet. Hell,they might be so saucy that even FOX will run them if it means more money...Heh he
It ain't over,its hardly begun...
