O'Reilly Cruise Canceled For Lack Of Interest (LOL)

[Carla in Ca]

<http://www.dailykos.com/story/2005/6/6/232639/3152>

On a lighter note, this little item gave me a chuckle.


"Hello and thank you for your interest in the Thomas More Law Center Cruise with
Bill O'Reilly. Unfortunately, the cruise did not have the participation that all parties
anticipated. Although the guest appearance by Mr. O'Reilly and the other speakers
have been canceled, the ship will still sail..."


Corporate Travel Service told Sweet Jesus, I Hate Bill O'Reilly, Intl. that the goal was to get
800 people on board for a Caribbean fantasy week with O'Reilly. Even though the cruise was
promoted heavily on The O'Reilly Factor television program, the Radio Factor, and O'Reilly's
Web site, they sold only a fraction of the tickets available.

1. That is TOO rich!

LOL!!!!

[Joebert]

5. That is probably the problem.

It was too rich for their blood.

They'll vote for big money, when they have none themselves.

But they won't remember that at the next election.

[ikojo]

39. You are totally right! The other day I was with my

brother in law and in front of us was a car with Kerry/Edwards bumperstickers. My bro-in-law said that he'd take those off. I asked, why and then said I'd proudly leave them on. He then said, "you don't like Bush?" To which I responded, "no, I WORK for my wages." It was stone silence after that.

He and my sister barely make it yet they support Bush! In their house there are six adults and one baby living there. My niece, who is currently in the hospital, gets WIC to buy food for her newborn baby. She and the baby are on Medicaid. I did point out to her older brother that Bush and the Republicans would like to do away with Medicaid.

What is it with these people?

[Bolo Boffin]

2. I understand the goodie bag had a complimentary loofah sponge

with a ticket to have it personally autographed by O'Reilly at a time of mutual consent...

[Carla in Ca]

6. LOL...

Even promoting this cruise on his own show couldn't get enough people to sign on...what a jerk.

[insane_cratic_gal]

9. you would need the loofah

to wash the ICK off yourself!

[bumblebee1]

20. If a loofah wasn't available,

Would a scrub brush get the ick off?

[walldude]

33. With Bill the ick is so thick

you'll need steel wool...

[KlatooBNikto]

44. Can someone explain what a loofah and falafel are? These are terms

I am not familiar with.

[immoderate]

47. Roughly....

A loofah is a type of fibrous bath sponge.

A falafel is a a ball of fried garbanzo beans (chick peas).

O'Reilly has been known to get them confused.

--IMM

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

68. Well I saw a recipe for loofa in a Chinese cookbook

But falafel's middle eastern.

Maybe it's the phonetics of the words that has O'Whorely confused. They are kind of similar that way.

[Stephanie]

16. Will he autograph my falafel?

Oops! Sorry I asked!

[punpirate]

3. Hmmm, since the co-sponsor was...

... Tom Monaghan's Thomas More Law Center, people probably figured that a week's diet of Domino's pizza and O'Really's pontificating would be too much for even the most diehard dittohead.... :P

[SalmonChantedEvening]

48. It rubs the pizza on it's skin, or it gets the falafel again...

:evilgrin:

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

4. Oh now that belongs on the greatest page

[Carla in Ca]

8. Thanks!

Like I said, it is light fare, but I think we all could use a good laugh right about now.

[MeDeMax]

7. liar liar your pants on fire...

:rofl:


hey maybe they should pool their talents, sexual predators & drug addicts from the right should promote a joint cruise.

[Carla in Ca]

10. They can't do that!

The ship would sink!!!!

[lonestarnot]

11. What say you O'Reilly...looks like your on a downhill slide! ROFLOL

:applause: :rofl:

[Hatalles]

12. Caribbean Fantasy Week with Bill O'Reilly?

Ewwwww!!!

[droidamus2]

21. double ewwww

that is just nasty!

[lonestarnot]

37. The nasteeeeeeeee

[MeDeMax]

59. disgusting....cough cough cough choking...n/t

[Pacifist Patriot]

70. Hey! Some of us are eating here.

That is hilariously disgusting.

[Hatalles]

71. Eating what?

Falafel?

[Fridays Child]

13. It must be the dreaded...(cue "Psycho" music ) falafel effect.

REE REE REE REE REE!

[insane_cratic_gal]

15. Females shipmates were afraid

of getting obscene phone calls in the middle of the night!

Maybe Pat O'Brien took the title of heavy breathing pervert

[Garbo 2004]

17. "the...falafel effect" with Psycho music....made me laugh out loud.

Good one.

As for "a Caribbean fantasy week with O'Reilly," that's my idea of a nightmare!!!!

REE REE REE REE REE!

:rofl:

[Pithlet]

14. Ha! That's funny.

Damn, someone already beat me to the falafel joke.

[Stirk]

18. I have a Caribbean fantasy that involves Bill O'Reilly.

The two of us wash up on the shore of a very small deserted island, and I have a baseball bat.

[Judi Lynn]

51. Shut up, just shut up! I'm turning off your computer.

[CoffeeCat]

19. O'Reilly is at home right now...

grieving the unpopularity of his cruise by singing his version of the "Titanic" theme,

"Near....far....where eeeeva you are...I believe that my show will go onnnnnn. Once mooooore you slammed that cruise ship doooooor...but I know in my heart...that my lies will go on and onnnnnnnn."

Nimrod.

LOL!

[Carla in Ca]

24. I guess he will be returning

his 'Skipper' uniforms he bought at Old Navy tomorrow.

[autorank]

22. He should have guaranteed a free "sex" call to every one in 1st class.

Ya know, favor the rich.

[sunnystarr]

65. He did ... and they ran the other way lol (nt)

[autorank]

72. "It's an O'Liely thing, we wouldn't understand"

:hi:

[spindoctor]

23. Ay, me hardies. Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.

What else is a simple Irish boy to do but sail the Caribbean in leisure and sipping parasoled drinks.

In your face, Bill!

[Bluebear]

25. Falafel out loud!

What a loser! Gee maybe the Chairbone 101st can't afford a cruise for all their crowing about how liberals don't work!

[dweller]

26. SHADDUPP!! Just Shaddup....

pull this thread..

:eyes:

dp

[alittlelark]

27. Are there any tickets left? Count me in!!!

A ship, O'Reilly and me..... that's all I*m really need...:hurts:



uh, yeah.

[LibDemAlways]

28. Holland America Cruise Line caters to

older, well-travelled people who probably don't spend a lot of time sitting in front of the tv watching O'Reilly make an idiot of himself on FOX. He signed on to get a free cruise for himself. What he didn't anticipate was that a Holland America cruise has no appeal for his demographic of lowlife freeper types whose idea of vacation fun is a wet t-shirt contest poolside at the Motel 6.

[Carla in Ca]

29. And since he was THE big draw (so to speak)

he can't blame anyone else. Imagine the spin he'll use on his show when he has to announce the cancellation..Ha!

[LibDemAlways]

30. He won't announce the cancellation. His

ego would never permit it. The few people who did sign up will be notified by the agency that was putting it together. As far as O'Reilly is concerned, it never happened.

[question everything]

31. Several weeks ago I watched the movie about Air America

on HBO. It ended with the elections, with the aura of despair that descended on the station. And yet, I was thinking that the fact that we lost gave Air America more material to chew on.

Similarly, I think, once the pugs won they've lost interest in Faux News and the shrill commentators of Bush agenda. Hence the down spiral of the Faux news viewers and now, this.

[deacon2]

32. That's just falafel...

Maybe the cruisers were afraid Bill O'Blarney would try to force them to kneel and kabob...
What a rank a-hole. I hope he's at home right now weeping enormous, girly-man tears onto his limp, shrunken "loofah."

[Carla in Ca]

34. LOL

Poor bill...his pirate dreams are gone. So, so sad.

[Griffy]

35. oh if only we had known.. we could have BOOKED it from DU..

Then get the bastard out to sea and let him have it!! LOL its too funny!.. bring video cameras to document his humiliation!

[opihimoimoi]

36. I called and they had 786 tickets left out of the 800.

[Skypilot 18]

38. I would have gone

I would have gone. When nobody was looking I would throw O'Really to the sharks. But that would make the sharks sick. And the water slimy. Oh forget it. He'd probably get drunk and fall overboard all by himself without my help. Or he'll get weird with some lady and she'll throw him overboard.

Still though it's tempting. Oh how I don't like that sexual pervert lying son of female mutt.

he's my anger management thing. I get so pissed at him that I get out all of my hostility. That is until someone mentions Rush Limpturd or Preznit Bunnyfukk

Maybe he canceled because he feared for his safety out on the open sea with 800 or so strangers.

[acmejack]

45. Water pollution of that magnitude is a serious crime!

Oh wait, it used to be. Go ahead, just make sure you are 50 miles off shore. Gotta be that far out to pump bilges legally.

[Hubert Flottz]

46. Found a copy of Bill's first speech once the boat's out to sea!!!

Here is the entire speech below!


"PUT OUT OR SWIM!" "SHUT UP...I BELIEVE IN YOUR RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH BUT...JUST...SHUT UP!" "SHUT YOUR LIBERAL MOUTHS...OR I'LL KEEL HAUL THE LAST ONE OF YOU!" "SHUT UP AND...CALL ME DADDY BILLY!"

Come, we load tubes 6,7,8,9 and 10 with the new bullshit seeking torpeters! Tis a foul wind indeed...that blows out of Bill's fibbing pie hole! Come left to course one two zero and all hands on you di??s...mates! THAT IS ALL!

[opihimoimoi]

75. The Ultimate TV Remote HOG.....The Administrator of of Whiny Slanted

Messages through Distraction, Denial, Anger, Distortion, Half Truths,
etc, its all bad...wellll, most of um.

"You got the Vectors, FIRE at WILL....Fire for EFFECT"


"Geeve Um with all those 647588671092209 Tubes ya got loaded with #25
Bull Shit Seeking Units Fired from All available Treb Positions in our Sector.


That is all.......

[Hubert Flottz]

77. Billy could turn the freakin' love boat into a tramp steamer!

Billy "Bad Ass" O'really is a legend in his own mind! Battleship mouth and rowboat ass, when it comes to real service to his country! He's won the golden douche bag award more times than Boob Novak, but not as many times as Schwine Hannditty! Those liars are to journalism, what Jesus is to a Los Vegas whore house! Bill, I knew Walter Cronkite, you are no friggin' Walter Cronkite! Hell you ain't even a real journalist at all, just another loud mouthed asshole that has been blinded by the Reich! Billy you've brought "Hate Radio" to our prime time TVs, you lying, blotchy rascal you! The only good thing about you at all Billy, is that I can hit the off button and make you just "SHUT UP!"

Billy will have to Shanghai anybody in their right mind, to get them on his garbage boat. If the trash boat hits a reef Billy don't need to worry one bit, because Turds float! Sharks won't bother him cause they ain't sh*t eaters!

EDIT Call the EPA ASAP and tell them that the Bildo is getting ready to pollute the ocean like he's polluted the air!

[opihimoimoi]

78. O Really is not a legend, might be mouthpiece or a stooge..but he ain't

no legend......

He is Puff, a Muff, and a whoose

[Hubert Flottz]

82. Bile O'Really, IS...a man of the freeper faith, afterall!

"He is Puff, a Muff, and a whoose"

A. He is puff
B. a muff
C. a woose
D, All of the above including, a neanderthal and a numbskull


Bile O'Really is a typical blotchey colored, Bible Banging republican, who worships at the bloody altar of Saint Smirk! They outsource most of their human sacrifices now days, to occupied Iraq, but then they come home from fundie school and watch the 8 car and the 24 car battle it out on their TVs and eat fried dead chickens and lite beers...that very same evening...and forgetaboutit! Seems the only people the GOP faithful ever do forgive, is St. Smirk and the hole in the wall gangstas! I'm sure Bile O'Really only wanted to baptize that poor young secretary of his and to expunge her sins with that loofa thing-a-ma-bob.

He never learned a damned thing in Sunday School!

Bile O'really should stick with his writing of those "hot Selling" children's books of his and leave "real journalism" to "real journalists" like Boob Novak, and Woofer Blitz'n!

[opihimoimoi]

84. The Bile Guy , now that you mention it, has the same smirk as the

Number 1 Smirk...an, an, they abuse their respective positions in much the same manner.... How is that....? WHY is that??

They both could help out the cause of Humanity but for greed and ego...they reject and ignore the RIGHT thing to do...In their minds, I got mine...fuck you General Public....If I can fool you...its all your fault.

[Hubert Flottz]

87. I think the term you are searching for is...

ASSHOLE! Asshole-R-Bile! How anyone can watch that loud mouthed fool without barfing is beyond me! The stale Bushit is eaten right up by the freepflies though!

[kiki]

40. "The faaaaaaascist booooat..."

"Soon we'll be making anoooother ruuun..."

[bunkerbuster1]

53. The fascist boat, promises something for every Hun

just set a course for "spectacular boobs"
only I harass
And buttplugs won't hurt any more...

[kiki]

57. "It's an open smile on a corporate whore..."

"It's a loooooooooooooooooooooooooo...fah."

[bunkerbuster1]

58. thanks

I really didn't know how to wrap that one up.

[kiki]

62. No problem.

I started it, so I didn't want to write a cheque my ass couldn't cash.

"War... exciting and new..."

[crispini]

64. ROFL!

:rofl: Oh, you guys are making my side hurt. Stop it! :P

[bvar22]

41. Just a marketing error.

They could have sold out the trip if they had marketed it as:

An Educational Cruise for Stupid Old Unattractive Conservative Perverted
White Men with Bad Breath who can't get LAID even in their DREAMS!

Special Workshop by Bill "Falafel Man" O'Reilly

Day one: How to cope with the reality that you still can't get Laid even with a Million Dollars and a position of Authority.

Day two: Exciting Extended Falafel Fantasy to accompany your lonely masterbation so that the Viagra you bought isn't entirely wasted.

Day Three: Focused Hate Session for Bill Clinton and other liberals who ARE getting LAID.

Republicans! Don't miss this exciting opportunity to learn from the Sexual Master himself. If you are anything like your hero Bill O'Reilly, this is the closest you will EVER come to actually having REAL sex!!!

And Remember: There are fools and there are old fools, but there is no fool like a Rich Republican who believes that a young woman finds him sexually attractive!

Special 10% discount to those republicans who show their Purple Heart Band-Aid and say "Shawn Sent Me!"



SEE! Its ALL in the packaging. You have to know your market!

[dmr]

74. Oh, dear, that's too funny!

[ecstatic]

42. Fun + O'Reilly = Huge oxymoron nt

[Roland99]

43. Can't wait to hear the spin on this!

[stewert]

50. Listen Folks........

O'Reilly will never mention that this cruise has been canceled. He will just ignore it as if it was never going to happen. He never reports any news that make him look bad, or Bush look bad, or any Republican look bad.

[yankeedem]

54. I am not near a radio

When his radio show is on, but someone has GOT to call and ask him what happened to the cruise.

[Misunderestimator]

49. Bwaahaaahaaaaaaa.... What an idiot! He must be fuming...

the poor bastard... "Nobody loves me"

[Deja Q]

52. They'll just spin it and blame it on the liberal weather...

:crazy:

[nolabels]

55. This "liberal weather" thing, is that the wind blows between their ears?

Caribbean Weather

Caribbean weather can be perfect for your tropical holiday, but here is some more in depth info:

caribbean weather

Weather -Seasons
The wet season in the Caribbean is from end of July through end of September, and temperatures vary from 70 to 90 deg. Fahrenheit, yearlong.

Weather -Winds of the Caribbean
Almost always from Northeast (often in the winter) to Southeast, between 10 and 20/25 knots, which is ideal for dream sailing.
Squalls, in the Caribbean, especially in the summer, come in a brief and intense manner. They sometimes have gusts up to 35/40 kts. The way to tell if they contain powerful gusts is to look at the coming from far: If the rain "curtain" is vertical, there is little wind in the squall. If the rain falls at a steep angle, chances are it blows hard in there! Better be prepared.
Occasionally, at Xmas time, the "Christmas winds" can blow rather hard.

[Neshanic]

56. Ship sails, pervy him calls women on board to breath heavy.

"attention all women on board, do not answer your phones....also your falafel can be used as a flotation device."

[NoPasaran]

60. Damnation!

I guess I need to put my torpedoes on E-Bay now.

[Crankie Avalon]

61. Maybe the idea would have been more popular...

...if O'Reilly would have let potential travelers know he'd be reading erotic bedtime stories each night in that seductive way he does as heard on the Majority Report..."Put down that pipe, baby, and get MY pipe UP."

[Kurovski]

63. "...fantasy week with O'Reilly..."

Best description ever for one of the Pied Pipers of the non-reality based crowd.

Does this mean more of that crowd are losing interest in bullshit, or is it a result of a declining economy? Whatever the reasons, this is absolutely hilarious.

the whole cruise thing itself sounds like a joke from the get-go.

[AlCzervik]

66. oh god Al Franken played some clips from O'reilly reading his porn book

"Those who trespass" it was a true test of anyones gag reflex.

[VOX]

67. Talk about "The Voyage of the Damned"...

Who needs cruise-ship dysentery when you have O'Reilly on board? :puke:

[Nimble_Idea]

69. WILL THERE BE PHONE SEX ON THE SHIP???

hmmm..........will he be the voice on it?
Maybe that would have gotten a few more red staters on that ship.

Maybe they are all too busy reading the bible and hugging their confederate flag, or it conflicted with a prior engagement: Their Klan rally.

[madinmaryland]

73. According to Olbermann,

they could not find enough idiots to fill the cruise (800 seats).

:evilgrin:

[Skidmore]

80. I love it that Olbermann calls O'Reilly

"the Big Giant Head". That is such a hoot.

[Hubert Flottz]

81. Looks like Oberman left a word out of his expression of ...

admiration for the Big Giant %$#@ Head!

[opihimoimoi]

85. Ya forgot SMegma Head...or PUS Head....

EWWWWWWWWWWwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

[Hubert Flottz]

88. Sheiite head is pretty close too!

The Bible Thumpers love the pervert?

[opihimoimoi]

89. O Really Now? He is a pervy of the 3rd degree? How in the world

does he garner a perv pass?

[Hubert Flottz]

90. He is what is called a PRE-vert!

A pervert uses a feather off of a chicken.
A PRE-vert uses the whole chicken!

[Carla in Ca]

83. That gives me an idea...

Why doesn't he give the list of those who did sign up to the Army recruiters! Those 10 people are needed in Iraq...NOW!

[ngGale]

76. LOL...

He's ratings have dropped 58% lately. :rofl:

[pinniped]

79. They didn't want to fall off the end of the Earth.

.

[ls317]

86. Repug Cruise Ship

They could have cruised into the Bermuda Triangle:rofl:

Damn

[ComerPerro]

91. A fantasy weekend with O'Really. Does that come with a falaffel?
