First, I would like to thank all of the faithful PolitiPornsters out there. Keep the comments coming, good and bad. It’s been a banner year for politiporn in general and we look forward to the nastiness that will undoubtedly ensue in the upcoming Presidential Election Year. Now to the matter at hand, the name of the inaugural PolitiPorn Politi-Smut Peddler of the Year. This year’s award and inaugural inductee to the PolitiPornshop Hall of Shame is none other than, Mr. William O’Reilly, better known as Falafel Bill.
Bill O’ pushed more Politi-Smut than any other peddler this year. His legions of ignorant and simple minded watchers and listeners ate it up like never before. Here are but a few of his highlights for 2007: - Back in January of ’07, Bill O’ hit a new low by claiming that abducted child Shawn Hornbeck actually enjoyed his time with the pedophile that had kidnapped him. Here’s the videotape, in case any Billites think I’m lying: http://mediamatters.org/items/200701170009
The killer here is Bill’s quote, “The situation here for this kid looks to me to be a lot more fun than what he had under his old parents. He didn’t have to go to school. He could run around and do whatever he wanted.” Now we know that Bill’s into some extra special kink, but how is having a sweating 300+ pound guy buggering you at his own whim, fun? The stuff with the loofa and falafel, I mean that’s pretty tame, but Bill does your taste for kink know no bounds? Will the Hornbeck family get an apology? No, but I’m sure Bill will send Shawn a signed copy of his children’s indoctrination pamphlet, er, book “Kids Are Americans, Too”. No doubt, the handwritten dedication will include inventive things to do with Greek food and O’Reilly’s special phone number.
-Our next highlight comes from March of ’07. Bill O’ has often said that when you compare someone to Hitler, you’ve lost the argument. As when Ward Churchill compared Bush to Hitler. Well Bill is not above using Nazi analogies to smear his opponents or sworn enemies. You may remember that the Democratic Party pulled out of a debate that was to be hosted by FOX. Citing FOX’ open contempt for Democrats in general, Barack Obama, Jon Edwards and others bowed out. FOX was left with their little Ruperts blowing in the wind, Enter Bill O’ the defender of Ailes and Murdoch. Bill O’ didn’t like that FOX was losing their only Democratic debate and thus began his year long attack on MoveOn.Org and the DailyKos. The first salvo against them went something like this, “These people use techniques perfected by Dr. Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi minister of information.” MoveOn and DailyKos are the Internet equivalent of Goebbels. What was Bill smoking back in March? Bill would not give up on this one, for the whole year he complained and ranted about these websites.

-Finally, Bill rounded out his year as PolitiPorn Politi-Smut Peddler of the Year by jumping into the Food Critic realm and offering his review of the famous Harlem eatery, Sylvia’s. Bill struck Politi-Smut Gold with this one. Not only putting down an entire people, but then in a stroke of brilliance, using the instance to show how the blogosphere is out to get him and other conservative pundits. Me I just wanted to get some
M-F’in Iced Tea!
Unbeknownst to Bill, we here at PolitiPorn were able to dig up another review that Bill-O did of an Indian restaurant in New York. Bill’s power of wordsmithing is awe inspiring:
Bill O’s Indian Adventure:
“Just for fun I thought I’d try some Indian food. Now, I was a bit intrigued by the very notion that Indians or Native Americans as we call them now, had time to develop a full-blown cuisine. I mean where do you put a stove in a teepee? When we got to the restaurant I notice that these weren’t Native American Indians, these were convenience store Indians. Folks there is a difference. Just think Apu from the Simpsons and you’ll get what I mean. Let me tell you this food is hot!!! Not hot like Andrea Makris, but hot like Tabasco. I asked the waiter why do they put Tabasco on everything and he gave me a queer look. I doubt he spoke English or was straight or even a legal citizen. How did Gandhi keep to his non-violent vow eating this crap? It amazes me.”

Bill, thank you, no really, thanks for the Politi-Smut. This award is given to Bill not just for the three instances noted above, but for his tawdry body of work in 2007. Granted, this award is not a Peabody or a Polk, but you Bill O’ deserve recognition as the best Politi-Smut Peddler of 2007. Kudos!
His comments about what Shawn Hornbeck went through are unforgivable.
Somehow I MISSED what he said about Shawn Hornbeck. He and Nancy Grace belong together.
