O'Reilly: No Offense

Bill O'Reilly

Townhall - We live in a touchy age where any ethnic remark is a blowtorch. Your mom might have told you never to talk about politics or religion, but these days, mother should include race and ethnicity in her maternal guidance. Recently, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg showed up at the American Irish Historical Society to do a little schmoozing.

Unfortunately, Bloomberg pulled a Jackie Mason and told the Irish crowd that he lived nearby and was used to seeing "people that are totally inebriated hanging out the window" of the society's building. Did somebody say avalanche? Some in the crowd actually booed Bloomberg, which was unusual because the mayor stood just a few feet away from them. There were very few Irish eyes smiling, and the ensuing media reports made the situation even worse. Read full column here: News New Mexico
