From time to time something on The Smoking Gun interests me, and I pay their site a visit. It's usually a mug shot of a celebrity or photos of a gruesome crime scene - something to do with a crime.
So when I see O'rielly on The Smoking Gun RSS feed with the title "Big Pimpin'," I wonder what he's done now. Has he been caught involved in prostitution? Profiting of trafficking in persons? I surf over to the site, only to find out all he's guilty of is writing a letter, looking for job prospects, and having mutton chops.
Uh... isn't this what ambitious 26 year-olds are supposed to do? I know being ambitious is a little outmoded, but hey, this was the '70s - over 30 years ago. Of course, that's not the worst of it. They caught him misspelling "hear" in this handwritten note.
This cheap...I wouldn't even go as far as calling it a shot...this cheap attempt to embarrass someone by showing a 30 year-old picture of them dressed in 30 year-old fashion of the day, caught in the unspeakable sin of networking - looking for a better job, and highlighting a spelling error - it makes smoking gun look like a tabloid. O'Reilly doesn't have anything to be ashamed of, but The Smoking Gun does.
Mind you, I'm not big fan of O'Rielly. I used to be until he lost all his cool points when he caved on sexual harassment accusations. I don't know if he was guilty of anything or not - had he either admitted what he'd done, or continued to fight it like he promised he would, he'd have been much better off in my opinion.
u.s. will invade iran,not because of the so called nucular situation, but because they have a new weopon that will destroy our aircraft carriers. this is info straight from the u.s. army.
