I ask the blogosphere and the blogosphere provides.

I figured with the sadness of the day (Arkansas Dem Chair Bill Gwatney gunned down, deepening strife in Georgia) some levity would be in order.
Recently, I learned that the AZ Delegation will be sharing our hotel accomodations with the FOX News people. This has caused me to imagine scenarios wherein I am thrust into the presence of various denizens of that wretched propaganda arm of the GOP.
So I decided to ask my friends in the ether for suggestions of how to handle possible encounters. To some of the message boards and blogs I frequent I asked the following:
Say I’m in the elevator and someone like Sean Hannity or Bill O’Reilly steps aboard. What do I do?
Here’s a selection of their responses:
“Carry around a Kick Me sign and tape it to their backs”
“Tell him to fetch you a bucket of ice. Hand him a dollar.”
“Eat lots of beans”
“Wear garlic.”
“Shout obscenities. Also, order a bunch of pizzas to their suites.”
“See if you can get the hotel to play the documentary OutFOXed on the TVs 24/7.”
“Moon them.”
And my personal favorite thus far: “If it’s O’Reilly, ask in a very loud voice where a person could get a good falafel in Denver.”*
Feel free to add your own.

The thing to say is obvious. If you run into O’Reilly, shout out :
%$#@ it!
WE’LL DO IT LIVE!
Donna – truth is stranger than fiction but sometimes the people who work for Fox (ie the reporters, camera crews, sound techs etc) are actually not Republicans, The Faces of the Network are without doubt, but there are many who aren’t. You don’t have to be a paid up member of the Republican Party to work for Fox.
Sam, you made me spew Diet Sprite out of my nostrils. Well played, sir.
I actually know of a good falafel place in Denver (seriously).
