O'Reilly Sends His Stalker-Producer Griff Jenkins Out to Aggravate Alan Grayson
By Heather Thursday Oct 29, 2009 10:00am
Alan, Alan, Alan...you forgot to use the Keith Olbermann "How to talk to Bill O'Reilly's stalker-producer in a way that guarantees the interview doesn't get on the air" guide for dealing with this sort of situation. Bill-O decided to send his stalker-producer Griff Jenkins out to do another one of his ambush interviews to get Rep. Grayson to respond to calling Enron lobbyist turned Fed lobbyist Linda Robertson a "K Street whore", which Grayson has since apologized for.
Someone needs to send Rep. Grayson Keith's tips in case Griffy-boy decides to take some more time away from promoting the Tea Baggers and sit outside of his office all day waiting to shove a microphone in his face. Three words Mr. Grayson--Malmedy, Mackris, loofah.
Howie Klein's got more on Grayson's comment about Linda Robertson over at the HuffPo--Alan Grayson calls a whore a whore-- Beltway whores freak out & defend Enron lobbyist working at the Fed.

Grayson should have told that little turd to go fuck himself.
Grayson should stand proud and tall. He called an Enron lobbyist a whore. She deserved it.
I'm a woman and I took no offense in what Grayson said about the Enron lobbyist. Enron destroyed many, many former Enron employee's lives.
"Enron was the world’s largest energy-trading company, with a market value of as much as $68 billion, before it imploded amid allegations of accounting fraud. The bankruptcy wiped out more than 5,000 jobs and at least $1 billion in retirement funds.
A Houston jury found former Enron Chief Executive Officer Jeffrey Skilling and former Chairman Kenneth Lay guilty in 2006 of deceiving investors, analysts and employees about the company’s deteriorating financial condition. Skilling is serving a 24-year prison term. Lay died before sentencing."
Citigroup, J.P. Morgan, etc.were all sued; and Citigroup was the last corporation to settle (with investors and employees) last year around March.
This year all these companies and more had to pay Enron creditors.
Now I find it interesting that all those who paid out huge sums of money for ripping off investors, creditors and employees, got bailed out and they seem to have recouped their loses.
Calling and Enron Lobbyist a 'whore' is an insult to whores everywhere.
...turned his glasses into contact lenses.
...into suppositories.
...into suppositories.
can say that again ... :)
Grayson has my support. He is one of the few.
In a perfect world . . .
I love Grayson, want DNA so we can clone him for Missouri 3rd District.
He failed here. He came off as weak and evasive.
He should have told that guy what was up.
A rookie mistake. Something tells me he doesn't ever fall for the same thing twice. I dare that weasel producer to try it again.
Yup, ambushes don't work when you see them coming.
"He should have told that guy what was up."
If he did, it would have never aired :-)
then continuously repeat the correct way to get an interview, and that is by setting up the appointment to do so. That's completely by the rules and he didn't give spiffy griffy ( i think that name is completely dorky, just like the person) anything at all. and it was good that congressman Grayson got in that "all reputuable" news networks "except Fox" follow the rules. I loved that little dig.
it would have given him something to go on and on about. Fox loves using targets to increase their ratings. the key is to not give them anything. Give them nothing that they can use. nothing that they can use to increase their ratings. they live and thrive on sensationalism and on turning non-events and non-issues into something that they can blow up to oversized proportions with the hopes that they can turn it into something controversial to keep their bored, brain-dead viewers interested. So, no, I'm glad, really glad, that Congressman Grayson didn't give jenkins a god damned thing that he could flap his chicken wings about and which caused him to go back to his guru o'reilly to shamefacedly declare that Congressman Grayson still hasn't responded to them. Why should he??? I think all democrats should completely boycott Fox and ALL of Foxes requests for interviews. What does Fox ever say that is good about democrats? I'll tell you: NOTHING! So, democrats, all democrats, should completely boycott Fox now and forever. If it helps to drive Fox into the ratings depths, so much the better. If all that Fox gets out of democrats from now on is it's own imaginings with no interaction from real live democrats, eventually people will be able to see what's happening. And i think that would be good.
How ridiculous.
BillO is such a dick, he is the last person to talk about irresponsible statements.
And what is up with editing Grayson's apology, not good for you, BillO.
Props to Grayson for maintaining his cool.
I apologize for wanting to beat the hell out of Griffy
I apologize too. I didn't say it but "In a perfect world . . ." ended about the same (in my head)
an annoying little gnat. i would love to see him smashed, like a little bug. maybe that's why o'reilly likes him so much, because he's such a little bug and so deferential to big master billo dickhead.
.
exactly the personality and character to be working for BillO the Clown, don't you think? A turd and a pussy all in one!
I don't think he should have used the word whore, and from what I understand he didn't know the lobbyist they were talking about at the time was a female. That's neither here or there now since he has given an apology.
As for Griff, someone is gonna knock the shit out of that little SOB. You just know it's gonna happen and I think Fox is counting on it for some big story.
The whole group of RWNJ's will be such perfect victims of __________ (fill in the blank)
UGH!
Maybe someone can figure out how to beat the livin snot out of the guy anonymously?
Beck would say it happened because the President pals around with communist, marxist, and black people. He would say it happened as a result of Chicago style politics.
Whore:
1 : a woman who engages in sexual acts for money : prostitute; also : a promiscuous or immoral woman
2 : a male who engages in sexual acts for money
Whore (pertinent definition):
3 : a venal or unscrupulous person
Venal:
1 : capable of being bought or obtained for money or other valuable consideration : purchasable; especially : open to corrupt influence and especially bribery : mercenary
2 : originating in, characterized by, or associated with corrupt bribery
Now, why should he have not used the word whore?
The sex of the person does not matter, and how else would a person describe Linda Robertson, call her a rose?
But you know.the rules is the rules.
Democrats must always without exception,apologize for any suspicion of untoward behavior in as humiliating and abject a manner as possible.
House Republicans put forth motions praising the new Klan meetings they themselves are helping to orchestrate.
that's good.
A certain word is inappropriate when used in a specific context, because it carries with it a series of cultural and historical weight. I'd rather we hold onto an iota of class instead of whining about how Republicans can get away with this-and-that. Do we really want to be like them?
grayson called her a whore
(note: oreilly omitted the k street descriptor)
She was a woman that engaged in certain untoward acts for money. I'm good with calling her a WHORE.
Isn't going to call Grayson any names,because that would "put me down at his level".Hoo boy.
The bit about Grayson thinking of himself as a "tough guy" coming from the number one wanna be tough guy "Mr Peabody" was also quite rich in comedic material.It's just projection to the nth power with this class of tabloid vermin.
No doubt
falafel into a dirty word?
fox, then a restraining order for against any fox employee. Rico.
if O'Reilly has to start bailing his producers out of jail because they violate restraining orders and whatnot, he will have to cease and desist on this kind of bushwhack journalism.
This is the same kind of shyt that got Princess Diana killed - and the European journalists have NEVER RECOVERED FROM THAT - especially when her brother tagged their asses during her funeral by saying their hounding of her lead to her death and left them with her blood on their hands.
If any personality, elected official, gets harmed by O'Reilly's tactics, screw sueing Fox Noise alone - the victim and their families should go after O'Reilly's PERSONAL ASSETS and take all of his shyt.
That would put an end to bush league shyt like this.
No, you little weasel. Youwant to make a story out of something that was a story once and now closed by Grayson's apology.
Haven't any white women disappeared in the tropics this week?
This Griff guy is dumber than lots of sacks of hammers. Fox is sending him out to fu*k with people, Griff thinks he's a top shelf reporter, and in the end Griff is gonna end up on the ugly side of someone's fist.
I'd pay to see that.
Sorry Griffy, no intelligent member (David Obey take note) of your political opposition party is going to play into your ambush journalism. Maybe you can bully private citizens, but with congresspeople, you'll need to schedule an appointment.
Good luck with that one, dipshit. And just once try acting like a man and tell your grocery clerk boss he's an asshole.
He sounds and looks like a Colbert/Daily Show correspondent.
It's actually Bob. Bob, the Enzyte guy.
I thought it was Sherman, Peabody's pet boy.
That's it! That's who he looks like when he smiles. You win!
I'm sure Griff sees himself as Jimmy in the Superman stories.
Stuttering John without all the charisma.
Good one.
I expect a real man who's an Original Gangsta.
This dipshyt is a wanna-be who probably got beat up by girls on the regular when he was in junior high.
He probably still gets beat up by girls.
The name doesn't help, but it's his personality that really offends.
I wish Bill'O would send Griff or Stossel out to stalk a wrestler.
Oh for the old days.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrX9Ca7LSyQ
It never gets old. LOL.
Who better to attend that anti-health care reform that Stossel will be cheering at/reporting from than Doctor D?
I couldn't care less about "Griff" -he's just doing Bill's dirty work.
What makes me sick is Bill's jaw dropping hypocrisy.
I'm tired of these disgusting liars being taken seriously.
whore (hôr, hōr)
n.
A prostitute.
A person considered sexually promiscuous.
A person considered as having compromised principles for personal gain.
I use this word when describing Sarah Palin.
ie. media whore
Why should we not use the correct word in the correct situation?
Linda Robertson is quite clearly a venal or unscrupulous person.
Or, to put it more succinctly:
Linda Robertson is a whore.
How many people even know what venal means? And of course, on Fox News, unscrupulousness is a badge of honor, worn directly beneath that little flag pin.
if, as a public official, it becomes necessary to pull out a dictionary to edumicate the public, you lose the effectiveness of your point.
Witness the recent "holocaust" versus "Holocaust" snafu.
in order to call Linda out for being a whore without actually using the word whore, he would have had to explain what venal means, and we all know how many eyes would glaze over and ears would shut as he did so.
then Linda Robertson should wear it with pride. Anyone who participated in the energy goughing of California via Enron, were whores of the nth degree.
I see nothing Alan Grayson had to apologize for. Anyone working K Street these days for fun and profit are all whores.
I would advise that the next time Rep. Grayson as to address somebody's hurt feelings from something he said to refer to the words of FDR: "I never give them hell. I just tell the truth, and they think it is hell!"
just sayin'
venal disease?
"k street whores have venal disease"
it might sink in, it just might.
where
I just think it's one thing for one of us to use the word whore when talking about someone, but a public official doesn't need to use that sort of language in public. I am very proud of him for getting his apology out quickly and with grace. I admire him for that.
You admire him for apologizing for using the correct word when talking about Linda Robertson?
I am unhappy with him for apologizing, he should have given these fools a vocabulary lesson.
I know we're on the same side here, PoP, but do you remember Cheney apologizing for telling a Senator to go fuck himself, because he disagreed with the big Dick?
and wondered if Pat Leahy would have sent him a "strongly worded letter" for that.
Notice he did that to Pat Leahy, and not, say, Big Jim Moran out of Northern VA, cause Moran is known for his temper and willingness to settle disagreements on legislative bills WITH HIS FISTS, MANO-A-MANO.
If Griff Jenkins ever goes after Jim Moran, his medical and life insurance better be in order.
And things like that made Dick the dick that he was. I surely have no admiration for him for anything he has ever done.
Do you think the President should call someone a whore? I don't think you do and neither do I. It's just a matter of polite discourse that I feel our elected officials should adhere to at all times and especially in public. I admire self control in the heat of anger and using that word to describe anyone shows a lapse of self control in that particular situation.
Yes, he called it as he saw it but some times that's not the wisest thing to do.
Strictly a generic term given to all lobbyists.
You miss the point Patricia.
He did not call the whore a whore, he only categorized her with all her other lobby whores.
Whoray for Grayson!
that we should call a whore a whore.
Linda is a whore, a corporate whore.
I have no problem with anyone calling her that.
If she were a man, he would rightly be called a whore as well.
IF Grayson had said "Go fuck yourself, you whore" it would be completely different, that level of discourse is not something I want to see from a public official. An actual, real lapse in public discourse DID NOT get an apology, while a factual use of a word that accurately describes the person does get an apology is a symptom of a broken system.
Actually telling it like it is, in a simple fashion, I have no problem with.
I still remember the disgust I felt for Enron when they "bought" power from the NW and "sold" it to CA for an obscene profit and MY power bill went up to help them pay for the boondoggle.
The act of a corporate whore.
And I still remember with disgust how these whores were not punished, and I see with my own eyes that whores like Linda Robertson, who have already ripped me off, are still whoring.
Venal and unscrupulous people like Robertson should not be working in public service, and whenever they do show their oily faces in public they should be called out for what they are: whores.
The day is coming that Giff is going to wake-up on the floor with a burning sensation in his arse where the mic was planted by someone with a short fuse
await that day.
OK .. I'll do it ..
Apologies to all women (and men) who make a living in the sex trade.
Apologies for using the word "whore" to describe an unscrupulous, venal, evil, bought-and-paid for politician.
Next time we'll call them something else.
Leeches? no .. leeches actually do useful work ..
Dogs? omg no .. dogs are wonderful animals ..
Slime? no .. slime contributes to the natural decomposition of all kinds of stuff ..
Any suggestions ???
Criminals?
.
*DING*
Far as I'm concerned, I'll respect a literal whore before I'll respect a metaphorical whore any day of the week.
why isnt anyone in NYC stalking billo everyday? if i was in NYC i would wait around and bug the shit out of him everyday. you know he would meltdown on camera again...... WE'LL DO IT LIVE!
.
I think my eyes are starting to cross. Is that Alex Jones? OMFG.
I say Grayson needs to go on O'Rielys show imediatly, just show up unanounced get them off gaurd take camera's with ya and some secret service, Kay Alan. Get em boy, sick em'.
Griff Jenkins came off like a venereal disease standing on a street corner hoping to get a ride. His breath smells like a canker I'd bet.
bill o'reilly novel.
If everyone did it, O'Reilly would stop this stalker crap immediately.
When O'Reilly's stalker asks a question, reply with, "Bill O'Reilly? The man who sexually harassed one his female producers?"
When he asks another question, say, "Bill O'Reilly- right. Didn't he rape some woman who worked for him? Or was it sexual assault? I can't recall."
"You work for O'Reilly? Did his wife stay with him after the stories of him sexually assaulting women who worked for him came out?"
Give them 20 minutes of tape they can't use! :)
however, if i were an object of one of their interviews, i would ask the interviewer if he was ashamed being associated with loofa boy and beck
Should ambush him the same way every day...all day. He shouldn't be able to check his mail without someone pointing a camera in his face: "Why do you lie Griff? Why do you stalk good people like Alan Grayson Griff? Why do you work for O'Reilly Griff? Don't you love America? Make his life a living hell and see how motivated he is to continue his little charade.
Has nothing to do with his journalistic abilities or lack of them.
He is just such a babe-in-the-woods, just off the turnip truck, good-natured, bespectacled goof, how can you hate him?
It's about recognizing that Griff is a paid shill, just like the rest of the morans on FOX. His purported 'innocence' does not absolve him.
$5, $15, $25, if you can afford it, show your support this November 2, 2010. A Congressman with guts. √
"In matters of truth and justice, there is no difference between large and small problems, for issues concerning the treatment of people are all the same." --Albert Einstein
Tell Barbara Starr I know who stole her glasses.
O'Lielly "He (Grayson) usually goes home at 3:30 you held him to 7pm"
O"Loofa, I think you're referring to the George W, Bush and the previous Republican congress.
he probably leaves at 3;30 just to make it home by 7:00...
was an attempt to drive home the point that they had been supposedly working tirelessly to track Grayson down. What they say is pure bullshit.
G ... you should stand proud and tall. You called an Enron lobbyist a whore. She deserved it.
I'm a woman and I took no offense in what Grayson said about the Enron lobbyist. Enron destroyed many, many former Enron employee's lives.
"Enron was the world’s largest energy-trading company, with a market value of as much as $68 billion, before it imploded amid allegations of accounting fraud. The bankruptcy wiped out more than 5,000 jobs and at least $1 billion in retirement funds.
A Houston jury found former Enron Chief Executive Officer Jeffrey Skilling and former Chairman Kenneth Lay guilty in 2006 of deceiving investors, analysts and employees about the company’s deteriorating financial condition. Skilling is serving a 24-year prison term. Lay died before sentencing."
Citigroup, J.P. Morgan, etc.were all sued; and Citigroup was the last corporation to settle (with investors and employees) last year around March.
This year all these companies and more had to pay Enron creditors.
Now I find it interesting that all those who paid out huge sums of money for ripping off investors, creditors and employees, got bailed out and they seem to have recouped their loses.
....by associating them with KStreet lobbyists.
He says that Grayson is out of control and is an outrage... Then he should be able to do a whole week segment on Beck. Be cool if MSNBC would hire their own Griff Jenkins to go after O'Reilly and Beck and see how they handle it. Be some fun videos I bet.
is that CNN and Faux are on the same team.
CNN is good cop.
Faux is bad cop.
They work together.
"He says that Grayson is out of control and is an outrage.."
Which translates to: Democrat firmly expressing his opinions with conviction is an outrage.
from BillDo? haaawwwwww!!!! heeeeeeeee!!! harrrrrrr!!!
Bill, c'mon, stop please...! i think my stitches are coming out..
can't ya spell 'Dance Remix' in your googler, BillDo?
.
I always considered "K-Street" and "Corporate Whores" were synonymous.
Grayson only gives interviews to REAL NEWS organizations and that is not Faux Noise.
...was apologizing for calling a K Street lobbyist a whore. I don't care what's between the legs of any of those people. They're all whores. Grayson was perfectly right to call the one in question by her right name and should have instead explained that he was using the word to describe people who perform unprincipled acts for personal gain: Acts which are intended to preserve a system that kills almost 45,000 people are year and causes a family to go bankrupt every 30 seconds.
Thanks National Organization of Women for pressuring Grayson. Great job. Way to keep your eye on the ball. I can't believe how invaluable those bitches are to liberalism.
How about a simple answer repeated every time the ambush guy asks a question?
Fox is not a legitimate news outlet. It is the propaganda arm of the Republican party. I will not give an interview to Fox.
This would sound so much better than "Make an appointment."
It takes Grayson off the defensive.
O'Reilly wants to ambush Grayson but does he have the nerve to take a mike and a crew and interview Grayson himself? Of course not. He sends someone else to do his dirty work. As usual.
I don't think Grayson came off as bad as some have thought. Fox News thought he looked bad, but look-that's Fox News-of course he looked bad-to them! I thought he did ok. Not super great, but ok. I would have loved for him to knock that little shit's glasses off. What a little, snively turd "Griff" is. Wow! I had always thought Beck was the most irritating righty, but this guy takes the prize.
...who had his production assistant cheerleading the teabaggers last month?
he sure was-see, he's just tryin' to find out the truth for the American people. I have always thought Griff looks like a Revenge of the Nerds reject!
I am sure Grayson offended many prostitutes by equating them with the top lobbyist for Enron. I would certainly be offended if equated with lINDA robertson if I were a prostitute.
Fox is all too happy to keep its questioning down in the gutter on all issues outside of policy. I am surprised Griff didn't ask Grayson what designer he was wearing.
Poor O'lielly, Alan Grayson just appeared on The Ed Show at MSNBC and they talked about policy issues. Go figure.
...for NOTHING. Nada. Zilch. Grayson is a man with guts. He should have told Griff to take the d*ck out of his mouth and put it back in O'Reilly. He called a whore a whore and he called a pile of shit a pile of shit. He's batting 1000 in my book.
so grayson was being nice just calling that bitch a whore
and how many shows does griff work on?
and griff is a whore
so is loofa boy
and the majority of people who work for fox
and then would have turned contrite and and said "i'm sorry, i meant to say "griff, YOUR mother's a whore" and then watch everybody bust up laughing.
Told him "Yes, I should have never used an insulting term like I did, which I apologized for, no one should be called a 'whore'".....and then simply stood by everything else he said. FOX News is not News and Dick Cheney really does have blood dripping from his teeth.
Whats so hard to understand?
Go vote in the poll.
...one could imagine everyone who listens to NPR is a redneck asshole masquerading as "patriots."
little arrow just keeps spinning...
with the Paris Business Review...
it's downright impossible.
I keep saying this....why don't they just turn it around on the jerk and ask him about O'Reilley's sexual harassment case that he settled out of court I hear for 10 million. The full transcript of the case is on line and the way he talked to this woman was beyond the pale, sickening. Of course O'Reilley said he would never talk about it again, but he won't give others the same consideration he gives himself. I understand he had foreight objects up his a--, was telling Andrea Mackris, the sexually harassed how big his penis is and on and on. If the people O'Reilly sends his stalker out to harass would just turn it arond and tell him to ask O'Reilly to explain his sexual harassment case, the segment would never get on the air.
What would happen if any other political party pushed for a cap and trade bill that could create green jobs of which 9 out of 10 created would be unsustainable, require government subsidizing and cost the nations economy millions of real jobs? And this is not to mention the increase in manufacturing costs that would be passed on to us in time of depression.
No matter if you are a Democrat, Republican, Libertarian or an Independent, what do you think is going to happen when the government revenues are down and spending is quadrupled? As one senator from Florida was categorized as, “One must be a fry short of a happy meal” to believe that wiping out the U.S. dollar and reducing the purchasing power of our salaries and retirement savings is a good thing.
How do you think the media or yourself would react if the republicans were the majority party and were negotiating behind closed doors on a republican senator’s proposal to overhaul one of our economy's largest industries, especially when it hasn't been written yet? On an almost straight party-line vote, Democrats in the Senate Finance Committee squashed an amendment by Senator Jim Bunning that would have required the Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reed and the Baucus healthcare or “rob our children and their children bill” to be posted on the Internet for all Americans to read for 72 hours prior to the Committee voting on it.
There are Republicans who should be voted out of office as well. They are the ones who didn’t listen to the American people and under the veil of "negotiations," kept the “rob our children and their children” bill scheme to socialize the nation's health care system alive. And those are not the only ones. Every politician who allowed the Federal Reserve to loan two trillion dollars without knowing to whom, for what or the disclosure of terms should be investigated, made accountable for their irresponsibility and thrown out of office as well. Sleeping on the job is no excuse.
The Federal Reserve has no real oversight and it’s time for these politicians to get the message loud and clear. We need to learn from our past mistakes and before voting, find out the candidate’s passed association’s, voting record, speeches made and most importantly, don’t let the progressives in the media or celebrities who receive bribes from the likes of George Soros brain wash you. The buss is speeding to go over a cliff and we need to get hold of the staring wheel and the brakes.

has, is nothing more than a gnat, a little buzzing annoyance. Maybe one of these days someone will swat him and that will be the end of the pesky annoyance. Until then, it's just buzzing in the ears.
It's not a crime to state the truth. Maybe more people should be described in terms that more accurately reflect their work and work ethics and or practices. It's hilarious that O'Reilly and Jenkins want to try to vilify Congressman Grayson when they themselves are about the slimiest, gutter tactic pundits on the circuit and they look ridiculous trying to make their point which is a non-issue to start with. They are so completely pathetic and they don't have a clue as to how ridiculous and impotent they appear. It's laughable. I personally commend Congressman Grayson for stating the truth and pointing out just how sick and crippled K Street and it's functionaries are. For those who don't know it, it's good to point out that more that 14,000 lobbyists make their living on K Street in Washington DC by lobbying and playing the game of politics that has given power to special interests and taken power away from the idea that government is of, for and by the people. As long as business and special interests have more power to have what they want done on their behalf than the american people have with the government that is supposed to work for them, I have problems with the way these lobbyists make their living and, yes, I do believe that an accurate description of them is as whores or johns. When money is exchanged for power and influence, it's corrupting and it takes power away from the people. When O'Reilly and Jenkins defend lobbyists and special interests, they are directly opposing the way that the american government is supposed to function as a government of, by and for the people of the United States of America.
