Bill O'Reilly: "I Don't Get Invited To Parties"...
| Posted September 25, 2006 04:09 PM

Fox News king Bill O'Reilly has a new book, "Culture Warrior," in stores this week. He caught up with Jonathan Darman.

Have you always been a culture warrior?
When I designed <"The O'Reilly Factor"> in 1995, I never felt that I was going to be in the middle of a culture war. But , with the click of a mouse, you can get hyper-partisanship on the Internet.

You criticize people like Tom Brokaw, Katie Couric and Dan Rather for being liberal sympathizers. When you run into them at cocktail parties, are they nice to you?
I don't

Seriously, who would want that Falafel King at their party? He'll probably steal all the Loofahs I have in my bathroom and piss off all my guests.

1. Who'd want a walking, talking turd at their party anyway?

O'Reilly is, quite simply, one the world's highest paid morons.

5. I don't know if he's the 'Moran' he just knows how to market himself

to the 'Morans' out there in the world who actually buy-in to this shit.

I seriously believe that the Coulters, Hannitys, Limbaughs, O'Reillys,etc do alot of preaching but I highly doubt they practice what they preach. I mean if they did, Ann Coulter would be a 45 year old virgin

2. He' so blotchy, maybe people are afraid of infections.

You have to protect your guests, you know. O8)

3. Maybe to a blanket party

1. Blanket Party
Usually a reaction to a long-term annoyance brought about by one person, a blanket party is where an unsuspecting person (individuals only, not on groups) is taken by surprise when a blanket is thrown over them and they are wrestled to the ground, then beaten with blunt objects by other members of the group.

After the first blanket party, they usually get the message.

2. blanket party
The act of trapping a person underneath a blanket and physically assaulting them. The blanket is used as: 1) a deterrent for the assaulted person to fight back; and 2) a way of keeping the assailants anonymous.

We're going to give that annoying bastard a blanket party tonight.

3. Blanket Party
When a group of people gang up on someone, throw a blanket over then and beat them with various objects until person looks hurt. (hard to tell b/c of blanket)

"when that ass hole gets out of jail i'm throwing him a blanket party!!!"

4. blanket party
The process of giving someone a beating who clearly deserves it by wrapping them forcibly in a blanket, carrying them outdoors and hitting them with clubs made from heavy objects in socks.

4. They wouldn't want him to soil the carpet...

You'd have to leave him outside with a water dish.

6. Must be because he's a blue-collar kind of guy

who doesn't know how to speak Thai.

As per Michael Kinsley:

(snip)

Bill O'Reilly, the Fox News talk show host, is in the capital for the Bush inauguration. He is invited to a fancy dinner party. Reluctantly, he accepts, although it is not his kind of thing. According to Newsweek, "O'Reilly said he could feel the socialites and bigwigs 'measuring' him. 'They're saying, "What's he doing here?" One couple even got up to leave,' O'Reilly later recalled."

Two people left a Washington dinner party rather than share a table with a prole like Bill O'Reilly? Although I wasn't there, I state baldly: It never happened. That kind of snobbery barely exists in America. (Wednesday's Wall Street Journal had a front-page feature on country clubs that exclude Jews, treating the matter—correctly—as an odd cultural cul-de-sac, like a town where everyone plays hopscotch or a Web site devoted to whistling.) Certainly, traditional snobbery cannot hope to compete with today's most powerful social ordering principle: celebrity. O'Reilly, as he himself has been known to admit, has the most popular news show on cable. His book, The O'Reilly Factor (named after the show), was a No. 1 best seller. When he appears at an "A-list" (Newsweek's label) social function, nobody wonders, "What's he doing here?"

Yet O'Reilly, like many other people, clings to the fantasy that he is a stiff among the swells. He plays this chord repeatedly in the book, a potpourri of anecdotes and opinions about life in general and his in particular. He had a very strange experience as a graduate student at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government (which let the likes of Bill O'Reilly through its ivy-covered gates, he is careful to note, "in an effort to bring all sorts of people together"). Other Kennedy School students, he says, insisted on being called by three names, none of which could be "Vinny, Stevie, or Serge." Their "clothing was understated but top quality … and their rooms hinted of exotic vacations and sprawling family property. Winter Skiing in Grindelwald? No problem." They tried to be nice, but Bill was nevertheless humiliated, in a Thai restaurant, to be "the only one who didn't know how to order my meal in Thai."
