O'Reilly booted by Mets

[bigpern23]

Didn't see anything about this yet, so I hope it's not a D_B.

Apparently, O'Reilly didn't have a credential and got booted. Word is he tried big-timing the security guards, saying something along the lines of "Don't you know who I am?" They, apparently, did not.

This from the Neward-Star Ledger blog:

So we're in the visiting clubhouse when Fox News star Bill O'Reilly strolls in, and then three seconds later is thrown out by a clubhouse staffer. The word was that the No-Spin man didn't have clubhouse access on his credential, therefore was shown the door. Our belief is that Mets P.R. honcho Jay Horwitz is a staunch left-winger and didn't appreciate the visit. (Kidding of course, I have no clue of Horwitz's political affiliations.)

Here's a link to an aol story as well, though I haven't read it because of my damn firewall.

This makes me even more proud to don my Mets cap.

Maybe someone heard he wanted to use a falafel on one of the players.

Why is it that O'Reilly cannot stay out of controversy/trouble? They probably knew who he was but didn't like him, so they didn't let him in. :

 

[Bob Slydell]

Because he;s a masive tool? Possibly?

And as Tine Fey says, 'Remeber, Bill O'Reilly is disgusting.'

I love the Don't You Know Who I Am? line. Most people probably do, and tat;s why they won;t let you in somewhere.

I don't see what the big deal is...

Even if he can't get into the clubhouse, Bill can just do a quick phoner.

In retrospect, this thread should probably be on the Sports & News thread if any of our moderator overlords would like to oblige.

 

[TheSportsPredictor]

He shouldn't have been live blogging the game.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again:

Falafel?

 

[Trouser_Buddah]

Ah, straight out of the Billy Packer playbook.

This thread demands BYH's presence.

Because he knows it drives ratings.

Exactly.

Falafel?

He was making a sexually charged comment, ostensibly about the cob one uses in a shower, a loofah.

He called it a falafel.

I believe.

 

[zeke12]

Yeah, Simon, I realize.

I simply wonder who says "falafel" during phone sex?

I wonder what other kinds of middle eastern food Mr. O'Reilly finds particularly erotic.

I have an enquiring mind...

 

[Football_Bat]

I find Döner Kebab kind of erotic.

 

[Flying Headbutt]

Tell me about your gyroooooooooooo. And the kotopiaaaaaaaas. And your cucumber sauce too baby!

Outing alert: Bill O'Reilly is really George Costanza.
