O'REILLY Was "Semi-morose" and "Dragging" Wifey at WH Press Party

THE WIFE FACTOR: That was Fox News Channel star Bill O'Reilly making a rare public appearance with his wife, Maureen, the other night - especially rare since that unpleasant business involving former Fox News producer Andrea Mackris.

It was at a White House holiday party for television-news types. A Lowdown spy E-mailed: "He was looking semi-morose. Not smiling when he walked across the room holding hands with/dragging his wife. I didn't see him yukking it up with the other FNC people, who were all being very social.

"Bill wasn't smiling at all, except the big, closed-mouthed Cheshire-cat grin when he was posing with a giddy brunette woman. He and the missus ducked out before it ended."

Mackris' sexual-harassment lawsuit against the "O'Reilly Factor" host - who allegedly babbled about his erotic fantasies in numerous phone calls to her - fizzled after an undisclosed multimillion-dollar settlement.

********UNQUOTE*******

LUDACRIS sums up the state of O'REILLY's state of, ahem, affairs, by saying that he "has pretty much killed himself." See this thread for illuminating graphics:

.... "Hi, Mr O'Reilly," Ludacris raps near the beginning of the album. "Hope all is well, kiss the plaintiff and the wifey." ....

"I don't feel like I need to do that," Ludacris (real name: Chris Bridges) told Reuters. "I feel like he's pretty much killed himself. I don't feel like I have to say much." ....

O'Reilly, meanwhile, was sued in October by Andrea Mackris, an associate producer for "The O'Reilly Factor," who claimed he had repeatedly pressured her to engage in sexually explicit conversations over the phone.


O'Reilly filed an extortion suit against Mackris and her lawyer. Almost as soon as the brouhaha erupted, it quickly faded as the parties reached a private settlement.

1. "Mackris' sexual-harassment lawsuit ...
fizzled after an undisclosed multimillion-dollar settlement."

:wtf: How do they figure a lawsuit has "fizzled" when an out of court settlement is reached?

3. If that be a fizzle, then I could stand a few myself...
It's only a fizzle when it's a rightwing pundit.

5. Compare that to the Paula Jones lawsuit that was first ...
dismissed then settled out of court. I've never heard of that being described as "fizzled". Ridiculous double standards from the right wing media whores.

8. O'R has revealed himself to be a sexual bully. I don't suspect his wife...
...is making HIS life hell. I suspect he is making her life hell. That's my conclusion after reading the allegations in the law suit.

9. Betting on his trophy wife cleaning him out in the next couple of years
He's given her plenty of ammo and she can threaten to make even more dirty laundry public.

For all of his posturing as an all-American father I'm sure he's an abusive authoritarian to his kids.

11. I knew I needed more coffee
when I initially misread the title as O'REILLY Was "Semi-aroused" and "Dragging" Wifey at WH Press Party...

I mean, if he were "semi-aroused"*, wouldn't he be dragging a falafel around the WH press party? Maybe he's been reduced to "negotiating with himself." Coffee... I need more coffee... :hangover:



* Don't dwell on any mental images, here. In that way leads madness.
