He found a black man that doesn’t hate him?
December 17th, 2006 at 11:51 amHe get’s e-coli from eating his won words!
December 17th, 2006 at 11:55 ampnac, that’s a woman.
BO can kiss my lily white ass, he’s such an opportunist.
What’s the breaking news, Bill? Lunch at Camp Striker is delicious?
December 17th, 2006 at 11:55 amHe gets e-coli from eating his own words!
December 17th, 2006 at 11:55 amWho would want to eat a meal with O’Reilly or even sit next to him?
December 17th, 2006 at 12:06 pmnot me : yuck! *spits*

December 17th, 2006 at 12:16 pmBREAKING NEWS !
Ponies infest IRAQ. It wouldn’t be so bad but the candy that they crap out gums up the tank tracks which now taste so delicious, It’s hard to keep the kids from licking them. The new water slide is now open and the jobs it will provide finally bring us to exactly 0%unemployment. The greatest danger facing our troops is being crushed by flowers and the loving affection of the Iraqi people.
Bill sees great progress and every man and woman he talks to agrees.
Is’s all those liberal reporters that have been getting it so wrong, Right Bill?
December 17th, 2006 at 12:22 pmO’Reilly’s guest host John Kasich said Friday that O’Reilly would be back on Monday with a “major breaking news story.â€
Please, oh please, let it be that he’s enlisted in the Army…
December 17th, 2006 at 12:22 pmO’Falafel actually left the Green Zone? Or were U.S. soldiers invited to his hotel?
December 17th, 2006 at 12:23 pmInstead of being served plastic turkey, they’re forced to eat with one.
That’s progress.

The look on his face suggests otherwise.
December 17th, 2006 at 12:26 pmO’Reilly does not look happy in the pic, so I bet he hates the food since he normally eats caviar and swills champagne > lol.
December 17th, 2006 at 12:28 pmunbelievable & pnac,

December 17th, 2006 at 12:37 pmSounds like breaking news to me…

Comment by Zooey — December 17, 2006 @ 12:32 pm
As in “A boy named Sue”? That very much looks like a man next to the O’Liar.
December 17th, 2006 at 12:44 pmMaybe ‘Vivienne’ qualifies for don’t ask,don’t tell.
December 17th, 2006 at 12:51 pmThis is O’Reilly’s way of making up for having mysteriously avoided being drafted and/or volunteering to fight in the jungles of Vietnam. He praises those whom he says are patriotic but when it came time for him to display his patriotism he came nowhere close to being in a combat zone while being in a military uniform. The mystery is why those who are eating with him did not leave en masse when he made his entrance into the mess hall.
December 17th, 2006 at 12:54 pmGiven his past performance with all things regarding the iraq war im sure Bill’s “BREAKING NEWS STORY” will be remove wrongdoing from the administration’s shoulders and place it squarely on those of us who questioned the war from the begining, its just what he does.
Nevertheless i am glad to see him in Iraq, A big argument of mine against bill when he trashes Mr. Franken and others is that how can he claim these people “hate the troops (c)” when there the ones going over there and doing the USO shows and trying to keep up their moral. Of course the reason is that he knows full well they dont hate the troops or want us to fail, there just on bills enemies list so any time they do something positive bill has to spin that into a lie that bolsters his argument.
Now granted bill probably will claim hes over their in a journalisitic (HHAHAHAH) capacity, and will claim hes doing more for the troops than anyone, but at least hes there. maybe hes caving from presure to actually back up his “i support the troops” rhetoric with actions.
maybe on monday ill take some dramamine and try to sit through 5- 10 minutes of bill to see just how “fair and balanced” “journalism” blames the “librul media (c)” for all of our iraq woes.
December 17th, 2006 at 12:58 pm#18 & 19 — Jeebus you two. Trash BO, not this woman.
December 17th, 2006 at 12:58 pmFox News is desparate – to send Hannity (well protected with Rummy) and now Bill O – also well protected. There have been claims that the media is part of the problem – no happy stories from Iraq – so, Bill O – are you going to find some happy stuff to report?
I really hate these guys and Fox News in general – it’s a good thing that I have a strong wall, otherwise I’d be punching holes in it… (my TeeVee is a projector)
It’s funny – but I sent BO a bitch e-mail the other day – it’s not like he or his “researchers” will read it.
December 17th, 2006 at 12:58 pmJeebus you two. Trash BO, not this woman.
Comment by Zooey — December 17, 2006 @ 12:58 pm
Wasn’t trashing her… Just stating the obvious.
December 17th, 2006 at 1:08 pm#22, My bad,sorry.
December 17th, 2006 at 1:10 pmBut Iraq is different. So far, 41 female U.S. military personnel in Iraq have been killed by hostile fire – more than the number of American servicewomen killed in actual combat in World War II, Korea, Vietnam and the Persian Gulf combined – and another 21 women have died from “non-hostile” causes such as vehicle accidents.
Let me repeat that: More U.S. women service members have been killed by enemy action in Iraq than in our four previous “major wars” combined.

December 17th, 2006 at 1:23 pmSgt. 1st Class Vivienne Pacquette of St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands and a supply sergeant for the 2nd BCT, had the opportunity to eat next to O’Reilly and speak with him.
“He was very down-to-earth and easy to talk to,†she said.
“I asked him why he’d come, and I was impressed that he said it was just to say thanks. It’s great to see a person of that stature to have such passion for the troops,†Pacquette said.

Comment by Exley — December 17, 2006 @ 1:23 pm
Your point Exley?
December 17th, 2006 at 1:26 pmO’Reilly visited the Soldiers of the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division (Light Infantry) and other units at the Baghdad base camp to thank them for their service, he said.
Where is this located? Is it within the Green Zone?
December 17th, 2006 at 1:27 pmCertainly the military absences of Bushes, Cheneys, Rumsfelds, Wolfowitzes, Perles, Coulters, Limbaughs, O’Reillys, Hannitys, Crystals, Feiths, Ashcrofts, etc., are no news to those who pay attention.

According to this article… There are plenty of folks left to go fight for their fathers’ war.
December 17th, 2006 at 1:28 pmWordsmith,
Camp Striker is near the airport. I used “the Google.”
December 17th, 2006 at 1:31 pmMy bad,sorry.

Thanks, Shamika.

BO is very tall, and Sgt Pacquette is very polite.
December 17th, 2006 at 1:34 pm# 32.You’re welcome Zooey.

December 17th, 2006 at 1:38 pmOh, God, I hope the “major breaking story” is that he got shot to death in Iraq.
December 17th, 2006 at 1:42 pm# 35. Now that would be a scoop.

Comment by Shamika
Spotted ya! :)
December 17th, 2006 at 1:45 pmYeah, I’ve been trying to figure out where it is exactly. And, it’s Camp Stryker. (I used The Google and Yahoo!)
December 17th, 2006 at 1:47 pmQuiet please;for some reason [B!] can’t get through.
December 17th, 2006 at 1:51 pmWhat I’m getting at is Bill still isn’t getting “the picture” of Baghdad. That airport is almost 10 miles from Baghdad.

December 17th, 2006 at 1:57 pmhttp://indexresearch.blogspot.com/2006/04/us-bases-in-iraq-part-i-baghdad.html
Whoa – go check this out….Camp Stryker, FOB Morgan is 10 miles from central Baghdad, and is a base for paratroopers. Reporter Paul McCleary wrote that it “is a place where travel plans go to die … (and said that) Fox News is the only thing carried on military televisions here.†Lindsey Hilsum of Channel 4 News said, “I feel that I have lived in limbo forever.â€
Scroll down 1/5 or so…
December 17th, 2006 at 2:03 pmWordsmith,
Somehow I think even if something were dangled right in front of BO’s splotchy face, he wouldn’t get “the picture” of it.
December 17th, 2006 at 2:04 pmI’m sorry – is someone trying to channel
…..Shamika?
December 17th, 2006 at 2:05 pmYeah….too hopeful.
It’s so sunny and bright here today, though – although COLD.
December 17th, 2006 at 2:08 pmDild O’Reilly is going to announce that they found the “Loofahs of Mass Destruction” buried in the Iraqi bushes, but first you have to get a few drinks in them to loosen them up, in order to locate the “LMD”.
December 17th, 2006 at 2:29 pmNot to be out done by Sean Hannity.
December 17th, 2006 at 2:34 pmSgt. 1st Class Vivienne Pacquette of St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands and a supply sergeant for the 2nd BCT, had the opportunity to eat next to O’Reilly and speak with him.
“He smelled of smegma and kept calling me ‘Andre’,†she said.
“I asked him why he’d come in his pants. He said, ‘it is because I am dreaming of ramming my fallafel into your hooohaaa,†Pacquette said.
December 17th, 2006 at 2:43 pmee,
i think you meant “Andrea” didn’t you? or, is orally switch-hitting now?
December 17th, 2006 at 5:18 pmMajor breaking news story – there’s a swimming pool in the Green Zone.
December 17th, 2006 at 8:16 pmMore breaking news… Iraqis receiving robo calls.

Oh, those poor people….
December 17th, 2006 at 8:46 pmHeh.
December 17th, 2006 at 9:21 pmZooey’s always naughty!
December 17th, 2006 at 10:41 pmBreaking news, O’Rielly volunteers?
At least O’Reilly went to Iraq.
December 17th, 2006 at 11:35 pmHow come Olbermann doesn’t go. I’m sure Al-Qaeda or the Mahdi army would welcome him with open arms.
#27 Yeah Exley its very nice to see a man of O reily’s stature being “uncle tom’ed” by some dumb smuck too stupid to realize she getting taken for a ride and that this guy couldn’t give two warm sh!ts about her. Talk is cheap, stupid people don’t realize that. Also, lets be honest, look at this lady, she probably doesnt get much male attention.
Maybe the people in power paying Bill off in a desparate and futile attempt to drum up support for this fiasco would be better off if they elimated tax breaks for the millionaires and used
December 17th, 2006 at 11:37 pmthe money to buy more equipment for the troops. Or maybe the american flag bumper sticker on the back of your SUV will keep the troops safe. I think its amazing that somehow the people that only want the troops home if they come in body bags are the ones who are supposedly “supporting” them.
I find it hard to believe that no one tossed his dumb ass out of the Green Zone, then videotaped his sniveling pathetic pleas to let him back in.
December 17th, 2006 at 11:50 pmDon’t break that chicken’s neck, BO.
support for this war is in a death spiral, watching these idiots and their increasingly desparate attempts to re-brainwash people is rather amusing.
I honestly think the trolls here are some of the few people who actually still support the president.
Hey Exley how many of our troops have to die and how much power does radical islam have to democractically gain in Iraq before you start admitting this whole thing was a bad idea?
December 18th, 2006 at 12:12 amNow I understand WHY O’Reilly looks so unhappy in the pic > he was forced to sit next to the ugliest female from St. Croix and had to chat with her since everybody else ignored him > lol. (Note: I used to vacation on St. Croix and believe me that black female sargent is the ugliest woman from that island.)

Comment by Jay Randal —
Given O’lielly’s reputation, it’s possible that the military officials deliberately kept the more attractive servicewomen away from him.
December 18th, 2006 at 8:22 amO’Reilly announced that he could not tell us what he saw in Iraq. Instead he will write a book “If I Tell You”
December 18th, 2006 at 2:45 pmO’Reilly’s news breaking story was: I can’t tell you what I saw in Iraq. Instead he will write a book “If I tell you” to be published by Judith Regan.
December 18th, 2006 at 2:48 pmHey #57 Jigga
KO is against this fiasco. BO makes one trip after cheerleading this war for 4 years and you want to give him the Medal of Freedom. And you slur KO by linking him to Al Queda and the Mahdi militia. When are you going to join up? We lost this fight when we went in. If you believe 140,000 troops can control a country the size of Texas you are nuts!!! Another 20-40000 troops will make no difference. An indigenous population that doesn’t want to be controlled by outsiders will never be defeated. The Russians tried it in Afghanistan and lost 18,000 troops. The British tired it in the 20’s and 30’s cost them 18, 000 troops.
If the populace doesn’t want us we can’t win. And they don’t want us. We beat their army, which was a no-brainer, but you can’t win a guerrilla war against people who look like each other. Who’s the enemy? And for the last time the Iraqi people were not our enemy until we invaded them. They are now the enemy according to BO. He wants to level the country in order to save it
December 18th, 2006 at 4:17 pm“Are you gonna eat that falafel?”
December 18th, 2006 at 5:41 pmI so enjoyed reading everyone’s comments that I have added a link to this page in story: Front Page Slander , thus also linking the bile of O’Reilly with that of D. Horowitz. Thank you, Sarah.
December 18th, 2006 at 9:10 pmBill O’Liar was always in a safe zone, why did he not go to the real war zone? Another black eye for FAUX NEWS, along with the O.J. mess, LMAO. The news network that can’t shoot straight. Alone with NBC and Matt i’ll kiss anybody A$$ to get my face on T.V.
