camwynMy office is in the Fox News building, as one of quite a lot of tenants that have nothing to do with Fox. This morning, as I was waiting for my elevator to arrive, I think I saw Bill O'Reilly. If it wasn't him, it sure as heck looked like him. (Does anyone know how tall Mr. O'Reilly is? That might narrow it down some.)
Despite having been Red Cross at a time when Mr. O'Reilly was tearing into the Red Cross with more claws than a cat in a full bathtub, I did not go over to the man and punch him. Nor did I ask if he was Bill O'Reilly with intent to punch. I just stared, and looked around for any pictures on the wall that might have had him in them- alas, the only Fox pictures visible nearby were of Hannity and Colmes- and looked back at him as he got into his elevator, then got onto mine.
For everybody who's asked me how many famous people I've seen since I started working in Manhattan? If that was actually him... two. (Peculiarly, the other one was also involved in TV news, but was rather more respectable and less frothtastic about his opinions. It was Walter Cronkite.)
