Still searching for that perfect gift for your closest phone pal?
How about the "
O'Reilly Approved" Loofah, courtesy of thesmokinggun.com Web site?
Yesterday, the Court TV-owned document clearing house messengered scores of the abrasive bath cloths to grateful recipients all over Manhattan. The items came in plastic bags sporting a label featuring Fox News star Bill O'Reilly's smirking face and the slogan "Perfect for your Caribbean shower fantasies!" along with the disclaimer, "Red wine and falafel not included." ....
Bastone explained: "We thought it would be a good idea because Andrea Mackris' lawsuit against O'Reilly (which was withdrawn after a reported multimillion-dollar settlement) was the
highest-trafficked document in our site's almost eight-year history. We stopped tracking the hits after the first three days, but the document itself attracted something north of
3.5 million people." ....
The
Loofah Man's reaction to Bastone's little joke? It remained a mystery yesterday. A Fox News spokeswoman told me: "I'm not going to dignify this with a comment."
