Here’s the story: [http://gawker.com/5834808/how-bill-oreilly-tried-to-get-his-wifes-boyfriend-investigated-by-the-cops](http://gawker.com/5834808/how-bill-oreilly-tried-to-get-his-wifes-boyfriend-investigated-by-the-cops) > [@](#): > > Last summer, Fox News anchor Bill O’Reilly came to believe that his wife was romantically involved with another man. Not just any man, but a police detective in the Long Island community they call home. So O’Reilly did what any concerned husband would do: He pulled strings to get the police department’s internal affairs unit to investigate one of their own for messing with the wrong man’s lady… > > According to our source, (Nassau County Police Department inspector Neil) Delargy offered (internal affairs detective Richard) Harasym no justification for investigating the detective—who is unmarried—aside from the alleged infidelity. “The order was to investigate this detective not for any misdeeds,” the source said, “but to see if they could get anything on him. Delargy also told him to tell the detective to back off.” > > Delargy told Harasym that the investigation was highly sensitive for two reasons, the source said: 1) It was ordered directly by then-police commissioner Lawrence Mulvey, and 2) O’Reilly was at the time considering making a major donation to the Nassau County Police Department Foundation, a private not-for-profit foundation Mulvey helped found in 2009 to raise money for construction of a planned $48 million police training facility at Nassau Community College. ---

So, is it so wrong that I’m savoring the thought of Bill-O’s head exploding when he found out some big, beefy cop was boffing his wife? ---

Bill should have done the right thing and hired a _private_ investigator…and put a GPS unit on her car, followed her everywhere she went in a rented helicopter, and so forth. ---

Shit, Bill O’Reilly is still relevant? I can’t believe it. I thought after all the business of sticking vibrators up his ass and smearing falafels all over women’s breasts, he would have crawled deep under a rock to be with whatever clan of perverse gnomes he originally came from. ---

> [@joebuck20](#): > > Just an expression of outrage, I suppose, over the waste of publicly-funded resources on what’s essentially a personal vendetta. That, and O’Reilly just being an all-around asshole. You should probably be pitting Nassau County cops, then. I mean, it’s kind of douchey on Bill-O’s part, but on the list of stupid/douchey things he’s done it’s hardly worth mentioning. ---
