I think it’s very decent of Bill O’Reilly. Out of consideration for his female colleagues at Fox he’s decided to take a break from chasing them and take some time chasing down women elsewhere. And who knows? Some day he may even catch one. ---

My god - _any_ woman just _looking_ at that sneery, pukey, gratable, peevish, evisceratable, hideous, flattenable, pneumatic staple-able face, let alone talking at it, let alone maybe having a cup of coffee with him sometime, let alone allowing him sweaty, halitosis-y penetration as he sneers smugly, is something really that shouldn’t be contemplated for any length of time. ---

In terms of his actual show, I consider him the lesser of three evils next to hannity and carlson. Don’t get me wrong, he should walk for what he’s done, plus have criminal charges / expensive settlements. But I am concerned how much more stupid fox could get…these are the trump years after all. ---

One thing that bugs me… I swear I saw BOR do a side newscast just after 9/11. The networks would play the live recap over again for an edited length, then cut to Billy Boy (before being main newscaster) interviewing a heavily chopped and edited interview with Imams and other religious leaders sitting on a non-live stage. They only showed two of the Imams’ responses since it was so heavily edited. Bill looked and sounded like a combo of Morton Downey Jr. and a typical Jerry Springer audience member. Does anyone else remember this? I can’t find a video… ---

> [@eschereal](#): > > Is this the guy that keith was always calling Bill-Low? If Bill O’Reilly was in the movie “Hancock”, he’d have been the one in prison whose seat was ‘widened’ after pissing off Hancock. (Hannity would be the one whose head was ‘squish-i-fied’ below him.) (Oh… Oh, all right. You don’t believe me? You Get Will Smith on here and you ask him which end of who he’d fit just about where if he had super powers and if he was was stuck in prison with FOX news staff. I’ll pay a whole case-quarter if I’m wrong. To Will Smith.) ---

In **elucidator’s** O’Reilly thread I wondered where Bill-O could go on vacation without being recognized and excoriated by his fellow citizens. I’m surprised he chose Italy, which he probably knows is full of furriners. He must have worn a false black moustache and Chico Marx hat in an attempt to blend in. And he read once back in the early 1960s that it was customary to pinch women’s bottoms whilst strolling along the Via Veneto.
