What's the story about Bill O'Reilly and falafels?

I'm just asking cause I don't know. :shrug:

1. I've always wondered

that myself; hopefully, someone will explain it.

2. He wrote some unrequested porn about a woman who worked for him...

it involved her allowing him to rub a loofah over her genitals... only he didn't seem to know the word for "loofah" (a rough, scratchy, natural sponge), so instead he said "falafel". I think the idiot even sent it to her.

He's a moron. And a sadisitic pervert, to boot. And a bad writer. And a liar. But I digress...

3. That sounds like a law suit waiting to happen

I suppose she filed one? Did it go anywhere or is he too rich for justice?

4. Settled out of court.

I wish she hadn't... the idiot left pornographic messages on her voice mail or answering machine. I'd love to have heard him embarass himself even more. :)

5. Well... A couple of years ago he was involved in a sexual harrasment...

case involving a co-worker who had taped his phone harassment.
(He plead no-contest and settled for some undisclosed amount)

In the tape he talked of doing "things" with falafels.

I'm sure the transcript is out there somewhere if you care
to search.
