Have you ever listened to or read any interviews with him off the air?
The guy is solid, and a hardworking mofo, he was not a born blue blood put into that position just by the handshakes he came in contact with.
I used to not like to watch the guy, but then I saw an interview with him, then read up on him, and it changed my opinoun on him, and I like to hear his side of things more now.
He wasn't born a blueblood but he wasn't poor either:
O'Reilly was born in New York City to Irish Catholic parents William and Angela O'Reilly, from Brooklyn, New York and Bergen County, New Jersey.
His father was an accountant for the oil company Caltex. In 1951, his family moved to Levittown on Long Island.[4] After graduating from Chaminade High School,
a private Catholic boys high school in Mineola in 1967, O'Reilly attended Marist College, a small, co-educational
private (and at the time, Catholic) institution in Poughkeepsie. While at Marist, O'Reilly played punter in the National Club Football Association,[5] and was also a columnist and feature writer for the school's newspaper, The Circle. An honors student, he majored in history.
He spent his junior year of college abroad, attending Queen Mary College at the University of London.[6] That looks like an upper-middle class upbringing to me.
He is virtually inconsequential to my political studies. That doesn't mean he's inept. I just don't like polemicists that happen to be screamers too.
He does live on as The Falafel Master though:
O'Reilly Hit With Sex Harass Suithttp://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/1013043mackris1.html"a female Fox News producer fired back at the TV star today, filing a lawsuit claiming that he subjected her to repeated instances of sexual harassment and spoke often, and explicitly, to her about phone sex, vibrators, threesomes, masturbation, the loss of his virginity, and sexual fantasies."
THE PHONE CALL (transcript)
"Well, if I took you down there then I'd want to take a shower with you right away, that would be the first thing I'd do...yeah, we'd check into the room, and we would order up some room service and uh and you'd definitely get two wines into you are quickly as I could get into you I would get 'em into you... maybe intravenously, get those glasses of wine into you...
You would basically be in the shower and then I would come in and I'd join you and you would have your back to me and I would take that little loofa thing and kinda soap up your back... rub it all over you, get you to relax, hot water... and um... you know, you'd feel the tension drain out of you and uh you still would be with your back to me then I would kinda put my arm -- it's one of those mitts, those loofa mitts you know, so I got my hands in it... and I would put it around front, kinda rub your tummy a little bit with it, and then with my other hand I would start to massage your boobs, get your nipples really hard... 'cuz I like that and you have really spectacular boobs..."
"So anyway I'd be rubbing your big boobs and getting your nipples really hard, kinda kissing your neck from behind... and then I would take the other hand with the
falafel thing and I'd put it on your pussy but you'd have to do it really light, just kind of a tease business."
