O'Reilly in dustup at an Obama rally

A story only Bill O'Reilly could make.
The Associated Press reports O'Reilly was involved in what can be described as an altercation with a Barack Obama staff member at a New Hampshire rally. When the staff member, who stands at Obama's side at all times, blocked a camera shot O'Reilly's crew was trying to get, O'Reilly yelled at him to get out of the way.
"Then he grabbed me with both of his arms and tried to push me out of the way," the staffer, Marvin Nicholson, was quoted by the AP.
Nicholson told him, "I told him, 'Sir, I would appreciate it if you wouldn't shove me anymore.' Reilly called him "low class."
Nicholson, who worked as Sen. John Kerry's personal aide in the 2004 presidential campaign, also said, "I've never seen a member of the press lay hands on a staffer before," he said.
Obama said he would consider going on O'Reilly's show after the primaries.
What we want to know is why O'Reilly wasn't arrested for assault. This isn't the first time O'Reilly's been involved in a scrape with the law. Who doesn't forget the sexual harrassment suit against him and his falafel comment that will live in infamy?
That wasn't all. He also showed up at a Hillary Clinton rally and, according to an interview on Fox News, actually had a good-natured banter with Sen. Clinton. We're sure he was disappointed it was nothing he could exploit.
And it's no surprise that O'Reilly plans to show the tape of the dustup on his show Monday. Nothing like exploiting it for ratings, Bill-0.

Speaking of irony, Bill ...

Bill O'Reilly thought it was ironic that a man invaded the campaign offices of Hillary Clinton, who, he says, is "inaccessible," reports Media Matters.
In an interview with Greta Van Susteren, he said,

O'REILLY: Yes, and caused all kinds of things. Because nobody knows, you know, what these people are capable of doing. Some of them are just troubled. Some of them are violent.

But it's ironic because today in The Washington Post is an article that says that people can't get near Hillary Clinton. The press can't get near her, that she's so well protected by Secret Service, her staff, and everybody else that the press can't even ask her any questions. So I thought it was a little ironic that that appears today.

Ironic that a disturbed man invaded her campaign offices? Bill, how does your mind work?
