Yep. You read that right. This video is an excerpt from Mackris vs. O'Reilly

The piece is a setting of the sexual harassment complaint lodged against Fox News pundit, Bill O’Reilly, by staff producer, Andrea Mackris, in October 2004 and recorded at its world premiere in January 2007. It includes all memorable moments from the original complaint and more – paranoid rants, clumsy sexual innuendo, and the famous falafel fantasy. Composer Igor Keller has produced this concert-length work in the form of a baroque oratorio, in the style of an updated Handel’s Messiah, for 28-piece chamber orchestra, 26-voice chorus and three soloists. It’s an oratorio for the 21st century!

Not mucn like Handel. [Report this comment] Posted by: ChickenshtEagle on Dec 17, 2007 1:28 PM Current rating: Not yet rated* [1 = poor; 5 = excellent] To me, it's more reminiscent of certain parts of Götterdämmerung. Peter Schickele (P.D.Q. Bach) would have made it more Handel-like. [« Reply to this comment] [Post a new comment »] [Rate this comment: 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5] » RE: Not mucn like Handel.

Or simply laugh at Bill O again. [« Reply to this comment] [Post a new comment »] [Rate this comment: 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5] O'Rally!

I'm buying it. Holy shit, that is hysterical!!!

If there's one thing an ideologue can't stand its ridicule. O'Reilly, the bullying hypocrite richly deserves this treatment. Hope it gets wide circulation!

Real people are getting really, really killed. Every day. For real. Oh, and the water's just about lapping on our doorstep, too. If we'd spend a fraction of our time doing something meaningful about THAT instead of contributing to the man by day and, in our spare time, listening to a DVD like this one to prove to ourselves how morally superior we are- maybe we'd pull ourselves from the brink. Maybe. I'm only asking one thing of y'all- WAKE THE FUCK UP, before it's too late. If it isn't already. [« Reply to this comment] [Post a new comment »] [Rate this comment: 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5]
