I rise from my sickbed to keep the traffic flowing. It took a few days to trickle up from the blogs but the star turn by America’s most beloved city councilman finally made it to Fox News today, and in more than one segment, too. Here’s a new interview — inside his f***ing office, from the looks of it — with the local affiliate on his newfound fame. You’re gonna come here and insult Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and, by extension America itself? Three words: No f***ing way, pal. No f***ing way.
I love the first guy they ask for reaction. Exit question: I don’t want to overstate his stature but he’s got a sort of a … Smeaton-esque quality about him, doesn’t he? Decency with an accent, I like to think of it. Click the image to watch.

I watched this earlier today. Comedy gold! Good for James Oddo for tossing out these fools who were there only to make a mockery of him for publicity and for ratings while wasting the taxpayers time and money.

I love this guy, and it warms my heart to know that the attempted punking got punked so tastily.
I agree, AP: F***ing Norwegians.
Splashman on October 10, 2007 at 5:24 PM
ROTF. Good man, Allah!
PRCalDude on October 10, 2007 at 5:25 PM
The TV news video is funny.. i never seen such a raging case of Captain Obvious then with the closing words that the idiot reporter said.
VinceP1974 on October 10, 2007 at 5:26 PM
This Oddo guy should lighten up; something tells me he is of shorter-than-average height. It’s the little fellas who always have something to prove.
Travis Bickle on October 10, 2007 at 5:29 PM
AP has a man crush!
lorien1973 on October 10, 2007 at 5:29 PM
Good for him. The “reporter” asked if it was legal for Obama to run because he’s African-American. I would’ve gone off on her, too.
amerpundit on October 10, 2007 at 5:31 PM
Oddo is the man. Uber pwnage.
PRCalDude on October 10, 2007 at 5:32 PM
I wish more politicians would tell more people to F** off. Truthers -really- need to be told to get the %$#! out of here.
lorien1973 on October 10, 2007 at 5:32 PM
Hmmm Allah and Goldstein are both sick…
liberrocky on October 10, 2007 at 5:35 PM
Haha!
PRCalDude on October 10, 2007 at 5:35 PM
This Oddo guy sounds like all of my Long Island in-laws
liberrocky on October 10, 2007 at 5:37 PM
Water’s edge. Some people live it. Oddo makes me proud to be a NY’er.
Dusty on October 10, 2007 at 5:45 PM
Yeah, us Norwegians are a rowdy bunch! Hehe…
Seixon on October 10, 2007 at 5:46 PM
A great American!
peacenprosperity on October 10, 2007 at 5:47 PM
He makes me hope that most NY’ers stay the hell in New York. On one hand, I’d like to see Global Warming sink Manhattan, on the other hand that means they’d move somewhere else.
I don’t get it- how is repeatedly yelling “get the f*** out of my office” so funny? Humorless dork.
Hollowpoint on October 10, 2007 at 5:52 PM
Only in New York!
sharinlite on October 10, 2007 at 5:55 PM
Okay, I watched the video. Having grown up 12 miles west of Manhattan, I’m not seein’ the problem here.
I sound like that when I’m really, REALLY pissed. Virginia has mellowed me.
Meryl Yourish on October 10, 2007 at 5:56 PM
Yeah, if only someone reacted that way to Twoofers.
Also, I like making fun of Hillary, but she’s an American senator; foreigns should respect that.
frankj on October 10, 2007 at 6:08 PM
This guy is an idiot and who the hell dresses him? Brown tie - silver suit. His mother must have laid out the wrong tie. Also it is not his office, it belongs to the people of NYC. He is a classless jerk and New Yuk deserves him.
Wade on October 10, 2007 at 6:20 PM
Revenge! Send Borat to Norway!
T J Green on October 10, 2007 at 6:22 PM
I like this dude. He sniffed out that he was being played, he took time out of his schedule to do what he thought was a serious interview, and realized that he’d been had, and he told them what they needed to hear.
Jimmy the Dhimmi on October 10, 2007 at 6:26 PM
I don’t know the guy, but would he have gone off if the reporter was calling Patraeus a coward and a liar? If not, he’s just a partisan hack and I have no use for him at all.
csdeven on October 10, 2007 at 6:34 PM
Probably… he’s a republican.
And Norwegians are cool, no pun intended.
NTWR on October 10, 2007 at 6:45 PM
Meryl, do you ever get really pissed while doing Shire News? I’d like to hear it. I’m from an old time San Francisco family who can remember when “the real San Francisco accent” was a fusion of Boston and the Bronx, and had jokes about SF being the Lost Borough of New York.
laelaps on October 10, 2007 at 6:48 PM
New Yuk? Classy, very classy.
Sultry Beauty on October 10, 2007 at 6:56 PM
I suppose Oddo shouldn’t have talked the way he did, but I get so sick of the decades old stereotypes that the Norwegians were peddling that I had to smile a little. Oddo has done nothing to lose my vote in an election, but if it made of pattern of such behavior, I would be concerned.
thuja on October 10, 2007 at 6:58 PM
Heh. That’s not that bad–but then I’ve been accused of being able to strip the paint off the side of a HMMWV with the colorfulness of my language, so maybe I’m not the one to ask.
ReubenJCogburn on October 10, 2007 at 7:01 PM
Are you sure that this Oddo guy isn’t your true identity, AP?
baldilocks on October 10, 2007 at 7:04 PM
Oddo 2016!
Its Tommy on October 10, 2007 at 7:08 PM
I miss New York.
Attila (Pillage Idiot) on October 10, 2007 at 7:14 PM
Looks like some others here do also. Veeeeerrry strange indeed.
Must be some kind of sexual inadequacy over compensation.

I’m just glad that I have ancestors who came from Norway and not from f###ing New York. My Norwegian grandmother would never have talked like that, but I’ll bet that she could probably have beaten him up.
MB4 on October 10, 2007 at 7:14 PM
We live in a graceless age.
Maxx on October 10, 2007 at 7:18 PM
If he meant what he said about his being angry because they were denigrating America, I’m behind him entirely. While the language was schoolyard, his sentiments were well placed.
deepdiver on October 10, 2007 at 7:19 PM
This is my theory. You know how Dr. Robert Bruce Banner when he gets really mad turns into the Hulk?
When AP gets really mad, like if he thinks that he will never get his very own iPod, he turns into Oddo.
MB4 on October 10, 2007 at 7:20 PM
The only good thing about Oddo is that he doesn’t like Quark. Be careful people, he could morph into some kind of vicious predatory outer-space creature in the blink of an eye.
My collie says:
Oh. Sorry. Never mind.
CyberCipher on October 10, 2007 at 7:28 PM
A dog peeing on a fire hydrant has a lot more class than him and probably a lot less to try to over compensate for.
MB4 on October 10, 2007 at 7:29 PM
Goaaaaaaaaaaaaaal
Texyank on October 10, 2007 at 7:29 PM
Amen!
thejackal on October 10, 2007 at 7:31 PM
loosing his cool would have been throwing the Norwegians out the window and the camera out the door.
I thought what he did was perfect .
Mojack420 on October 10, 2007 at 7:32 PM
When I first heard that a NYC councilman dropped the “F” bomb on a camerateam, for some reason I assumed it would be Charles Barron.
Silly me.
JayHaw Phrenzie on October 10, 2007 at 7:33 PM
Oddo prover a oppveie har meget liten hannfuglen.
MB4 on October 10, 2007 at 7:40 PM
I have never been prouder to be a f!@#ing New Yawker! Go Oddo!
zb42 on October 10, 2007 at 7:41 PM
Looks like he comes from a lineage of never held a real job bums.
But he can say f##king, f##king, f##king, f##king, f##king, f##king, f##k!!!
Wow.
MB4 on October 10, 2007 at 7:50 PM
I don’t know what this guy’s politics is or are; but I do agree with his actions and his words. May be Norway likes their politics like that,well, then keep it there. Those newsreporters actions is probably why so many Norwegians immigrated to the USA.
oldelpasoan on October 10, 2007 at 8:10 PM
He doesn’t sound like that at our community meetings. He’s actually quite effing articulate.
sibobr on October 10, 2007 at 8:11 PM
Here’s the R-rated version. Gotta love it: ripping the Eurotards a new one.
zb42 on October 10, 2007 at 8:24 PM
hahaha, funny stuff
get well soon AP, we missed you.
ThackerAgency on October 10, 2007 at 8:33 PM
Hey, I thought it was funny when you posted it the first time.I still think it’s funny, and you know what..he reacted..So what! I watched some joker getting all serious because this guy is on the NYC Council? And?
Pam on October 10, 2007 at 9:16 PM
Surprising comment coming from a mid-westerner.
JiangxiDad on October 10, 2007 at 9:17 PM
You f***ing betcha. He was perfect. He’s America’s City Councilman now, and Fox doesn’t know sh*t if they think he “lost his cool”; he played this right down the middle.
I love it.
Jaibones on October 10, 2007 at 10:55 PM
Needless to say, the chick was kinda hot.
