Bill O'Reilly flips over "unfresh" croissants
Who's the elitist now? :eyes:

LINK

Apparently, he was not pleased with the efforts staffers had made for him. In particular, he was extremely unhappy with the croissants that were laid out for him.

Not because he is against the French and everything they have to offer. No, that would almost show some character on his part. I mean, it would be obnoxious, but consistent with his professed beliefs, so you'd have to give him points for walking the walk.

No this was a bigger problem. Much bigger.

The croissants were not fresh enough.

Apparently, there is no room for store bought baked goods in the No Spin Zone. They must be from a bakery. And they must be baked fresh, very fresh. Which is why he insisted that a baker in Beverly Hills be summoned to create a fresh batch, just for him. Post haste.

Because Bill is just folks, you know. A regular guy.

He followed that up by demanding that a helicopter take him to Orange County for his next appearance, because he didn't want to spend an hour in the limousine the station had arranged for him. That was too much to ask.

1. Wait an HOUR in his limo?
Why, his croissants would get stale! Barbarians!

2. We use to have a saying when I mess cooked in the Navy.
"I may have to take your shit but you have to eat mine."
That being said I would be happy to make a bakery run for Bill'o.

3. Man, what an asshat.
He's probably bitter that Glenn Beck is claiming his throne in the Ministry of Asshattery, though.

5. republicons: An elite corps of impudent snobs
Spiro Agnew was mostly right, just forgot to pin this description on
O'Reilly, Hannity and his Gucci Loafers, and MegaMillions Limbaugh -

All republicon chickenhawks, fretting about their fine FRENCH foods.

16. EXUSE ME. I have misspoken the description of republicon elites
That corrurpt republicon crony of yore, actually said --
in a perfect description of the republicon party --
that they are an "effete corps of impudent snobs."

I actually think that fits the chickenhawk republicon
self-imagined 'elite' more fittingly...

Thank you Mr. Agnew, yet another convicted republicon
crook who stole from America and lied about it.

7. The Long Island Drunk's...
Brown M&M's moment. It is my experience that when they get to this moment, obscurity is not far off, because the people around him soon get sick and tired of the niggling bullshit and stop busting their asses for them.

Frank Sinatra, at his height, had only this in his dressing room: One huge bottle of JD. One huge bottle of Chivas. Glasses. Ice. Carton of Camels.

That's it.

Bill'O is no Frank Sinatra.

19. O'Reilly has jumped the croissant
Edited on Mon Mar-19-07 03:38 PM by SpiralHawk
I heard a rumor he is actually French, and just changed his name to O'Reilly
to get people to think he was a regular schmoe, instead of a member of an
elite deposed French family of royalty and obviously excessive inbreeding.

When will Felafel O'Reilly COME OUT OF THE CLOSET about his queer French predilictions?

18. When Louis the XIVth defecated in public, it was a major event
When the urge hit him, he'd drop his drawers even if it was on his palace steps. Then the King's Court would spend the next few moments flattering the color and texture. I wonder if Bill O'Reilly has trained his own staff yet to fully appreciate his daily product.
