Breaking: O'Reilly in a Wheel Chair!

[crissy71]

DU spies who work in the "Dark Star" buidling on Sixth Ave (News Corp) spotted O'Lielly at the lobby newstand, consigned to a wheelchair, pathetically having his assistant get magazines for him.

Maybe he kicked the TV too hard last night after watching Franken on Charlie Rose!

UPDATE - MORE DETAILS: Mr Bill was speaking spanish to the news clerk (who looked but wasn't Spanish - probably Pakistani) saying una mas gum por favor

[Military Brat]

1. Probably building his case in a bogus lawsuit against someone

eom

[Rainbowreflect]

2. LOL

Makes sense, they all hate lawyers until they want to sue someone or still an election.

[Faygo Kid]

3. More like Mr. Potter every day

From "It's a Wonderful Life," of course. Well, with his millions, he needn't worry about health care, the bucket of slime.

[DrWeird]

4. So what has the hypocrite said in the past about the handicapped?

I bet it's something juicy.

[Cannikin]

5. And hate the ACLU until they jump in to fight for your privacy...

[maveric]

52. He's trying to look like FDR, now that bu$h is trying to look like JFK

with all this moon and mars nonsense.

[Demobrat]

6. What happened to him?

Something permanently disabling, I hope.

[OneTwentyoNine]

8. Hope someone gave him an old fashioned ass kicking......eom

[crissy71]

10. Spies didn't notice a cast so...

we can only guess - he was difinitely not well enough to stand up and get his own magazine from the rack

[PROGRESSIVE1]

18. Maybe they will roll him down a hill.......

right into the bowels of hell

[liberalnurse]

19. That is so visually funny.

:toast:

[ProfessorGAC]

62. As An MS Sufferer, I Suggest We Don't Wish That On Anyone

Sorry, but permanently disabling illness or injury is not something we should wish on anyone. I wouldn't even wish the constant worry of getting to that point (which is what i experience) on anyone.

Sorry, don't me to preach. Just struck a raw nerve when i read your post.
The Professor

[Enraged_Ape]

7. Anyone here used to watch SCTV?

Remember Guy Caballero?

[seemslikeadream]

11. One of my all time favorites

:)

[Ficus]

15. I dig the snake pliskin

that rocks!

[waywest]

23. But! Caballero used his wheelchair

to get RESPECT.

[peekaloo]

45. lol.......I can see O'Shrilly crossing his legs while reading

9. where are these DU spies

because I'm across the street in the McGraw Hill building and I want to be careful

[crissy71]

12. lol

they want ot keep their jobs!

14. oh, that slipped my mind

I was just curious because it's good to know that they are in my "neighborhood" as much as this part of Manhattan has neighborhoods.
Fortunately, my employers are benign.

[CaptainClark23]

17. Down the block

At Grace, and I'm watching you too....;-)

21. .......runs for cover

:scared: :wtf:

[nostamj]

36. don't run down 45th

i'm on patrol btw lex and 6th

40. aargghhh

I'm surrounded.
fortunately I don't go East unless I'm in the village. Wait, I don't go West , wait ....I'm staying in the building

[Crowdance]

58. Times Square, too

We're everywhere....

[crissy71]

63. we should all have a DU meeting

like that old German guy who worked at Rick's in Casablanca

[crissy71]

24. Actually

Not too farfetched for pock-faced man to get Rupert to launch an investigation

[tridim]

13. Does Oxycontin affect your balance?

No doubt all these idiots are doped up just like Rush.

[WilliamPitt]

16. That sucks

He's a class A bastard, but no one deserves to be crippled. Besides, how can we kick his ass if he's sitting on it?

[crissy71]

22. Call me malicious but i think if he's suffering in any way

it's a good thing. Hopefully i won't suffer too much in the afterlife..

btw Mr Pitt, caught one of your speeches on CSPAN (it was at a restaurant i think) and had a very nice time for that hour of my life - Thanks!

[Demobrat]

29. Don't feel bad. Suffering builds character.

And O'Reilly could certainly use some.

[hlthe2b]

61. Perhaps a Karmic lesson? While it is wrong to wish him ill,

I think we can hope he learns valuable lessons that will guide him along his path to enlightenment, as the Buddhists would say?

I can say personally, that I learned more about the plight of the disabled after 8 weeks on crutches than I could ever have by observing. At the end, not only had I built incredible upper body strength for a woman of my age, but I now will avoid stores and businesses that make no accomodations for handicapped. And, nothing enrages me more than to see young, athletic able-bodied folks park in handicapped spaces (probably in a car belonging to their elderly handicapped parents).

We can only hope that the experience benefits O'Reilly in his long term understanding. And, yes, like everyone else here, I am human enough to think he really NEEDS the experience. But, I'll be gracious enough to hope it is short-term and not due to any horrendous disease process.

[VelmaD]

25. Easy.

I'll hold him up on one side. GOPisEvil will prop him up on the other. And you can kick to your little heart's content. :evilgrin:

Ok, end of malicious glee. Gotta go work on my karma.

[MSchreader]

46. I bet Skittles has the answer

:evilgrin:

[robpopulace]

48. Well, we've got...

Larry Flynt.:)

[Mikimouse]

56. Oh heck, that's easy...

When he takes us to court on some BS charge, we pick the court where he will have to crawl up the steps to get in. While he's crawling, THEN we kick his ass. See? No problem.:evilgrin:

[liberalhistorian]

57. LOL!

Oh, I think we could come up with a way!

[beyurslf]

20. Get drunk and fall down the stairs?

Kick a homeless man out of the way and break a toe?

[Logansquare]

26. Just from looking at his skin, I'm guessing gout

.

[Demobrat]

27. What is gout?

?

[Logansquare]

33. It's a painful disease where uric acid crystals

collect in your extremities, usually feet. Henry VIII had it and it made him unable to walk without support. It can be caused by a number of things, but is commonly associated with eating too much rich food, and (of course), consuming too much alcohol.

[Demobrat]

34. Does it come and go?

Can one get rid of it by changing one's diet, or is it permanent like arthritis?

[Logansquare]

35. That I don't know...

I'm sure you can make it worse by continuing to eat and drink the wrong stuff.

[Heddi]

51. From my anatomy & physiology textbook:

Uric acid, a normal waste product of nucleic acid metabolism, is ordinarly excreted in urine without any problems. However, when blood levels of uric acid rise excessively (due to excessive production or slow excretion), it may be deposited as needle-shaped urate crystals in the soft tissues of joints. An inflammatory response follows, leading into an antagonizingly painful attack of gouty arthritis, or gout. The initial attack typically affects one joint, often at the base of the great toe.

Gout is far more common in males than females because males naturally have higher blood levels of uric acid. Because gout seems to run in families, genetic factors are definitley implicated.

Untreated gout can be very destructive; the articulating bone ends fuse and immobilize the joint. Fortunately, several drugs that terminate or prevent gout attacks are available. Patients are advised to avoid alcohol excess (which promotes uric acid overproduction), and foods high in purine-containing nucleic acids, such as liver, kidneys, and sardines

---

From my Medical Terminology Book:

Gouty Arthritis: Inflammation of joints caused by excessive uric acid in the body:

A defect in the metabolism of uric acid causes too much of it to accumulate in blood (hyperuricemia), joints and soft tissues near joints. The uric acid crystals (salts) destroy the articular cartillage and damage the synovial membrane. A joint cheifly affected is the big toe; hence, the condition is often called podagra (pod/o means foot, -agra means excessive pain). Treatment consists of drugs to lower uric acid production and to prevent inflammation and a special diet that avoids foods that are rich in uric acid, such as red meats, red wines, and fermented cheeses.

:)

Gotta love us nursing students, eh?

[Logansquare]

53. "Fermented cheese"

That means O'Reilly has had too much exposure to himself.
;-)

[salinen]

28. The goddess is occasionally

vengeful.

[TacticalPeek]

37. Good guess. No cast, no bandage. Probably holiday food.

But there are drugs that are pretty effective, especially early.

Maybe kidney stones?

:evilgrin:

[kskiska]

39. Maybe it's gout from all the rich French food he eats

He was spotted at a French restaurant near Faux where he dines regularly. All this while he was promoting a French boycott on "The Factor."

[Yavin4]

30. He Aint Hurt

He probably thinks that he's too good for walking.

[MaryBear]

31. Wow. Not intending to be judgmental but . . .

the above posts are pretty mean spirited. Doesn't spitefulness beget more nastiness?

[salinen]

32. Well, if your not supposed to be mean spirited about O'liely

who the hell should we be mean spirited towards?

[rustydog]

44. You are right...but!

The right-wing is so...judgmental for a bunch of Christian fundamentals that the jodge not lest ye be judged truism comes to rest firmly on the hypocrites shoulder'.

remember, this asshole will lock his kids in the basement if they displease him. he is deserving of derision.

[MaryBear]

50. I guess

it was the joy at physical pain that got me.

[crissy71]

54. safe to assume he has plenty of "pharma"

...numb as numb can be...

[Sophree]

38. He probably tripped over his planet-sized ego. n/t

:-)

[crissy71]

41. kick

:kick:

[Killarney]

42. Anyone know why?

[rustydog]

43. His spinal implant apparently failed.

combine that with the failure of the integrity IV solution to take effect, major lawsuit to follow.

[Skidmore]

47. Interesting, especially in light of this little bit of

O'Reilly insensitivity I came across on the web:

http://www.ljworld.com/section/kusexclass/storypr/131228

The O'Reilly Factor"

Dailey told Nicole Denney, a Leavenworth freshman who uses a wheelchair, he regretted she was exposed to Fox News Channel's Bill O'Reilly referring to one of the class sessions as "Wheelchair Sex Day," even though the day's discussion focused on society's tendency to view some people as sexually irrelevant.

"Every time I heard that phrase -- Wheelchair Sex Day -- my heart bled," said Dailey, who appeared close to tears.

Turning to Denney, he added, "Young lady, I don't know how on Earth you managed that kind of assault on your reality, on what is your life."

....

[spindoctor]

49. That is sad...

...because I wanted to put him in one myself.

Just kidding! Bill, buddy-old-pal.

[the populist]

55. O'Reilly probably deserves it

let's face it: he advocated the slaughter of tens of thousands of Iraqis.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

59. his head swelled to emormous proportions

and became too heavy for his body to support and his back and spine gave out, resulting in paralysis

[the populist]

60. So was he really in a wheelchair? or is this just a rumor? n/t

[crissy71]

64. no rumor

DU spy was an "eye-ball witness"
