Bill O'Reilly Recap
If you haven't yet heard about Bill O'Reilly's pushy moment at an Obama event over the weekend, read John Dickerson's first-hand account here. Then watch the video from O'Reilly's program here.
Apparently O'Reilly wanted to set the record straight about what happened. But he doesn't come off particularly well in the clip. What the video does not capture is the heckling John describes in his piece:
A number of people shouted falafel, the word O'Reilly used in a racy set of telephone conversations
with a young woman he was trying to seduce as he described a shower
they might take together. He meant loofa, which is not a Middle Eastern
delicacy but a bath item.
