Reporter thrown out - NYC councilman angry
Oct. 12, 2007
NYC councilman's reaction to prank interview a YouTube hit
Associated Press

NEW YORK — An obscenity-laced video of a city councilman kicking a Norwegian interviewer out of his office has drawn a bigger audience than he's ever had at City Hall.

The video of New York City Councilman James Oddo and a woman using the fake interview format made famous by British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen's Ali G character has been viewed more than 415,000 times since it went up on YouTube just a few days ago. Article

I'm surprised at how riled up he was over the Hilary question. You'd think the Barack Obama one would be the tip off.

I didn't even get the reference. Is there a youtube video of her sticking a cigar up her vagina or something?

I think he's hilarious, not shocking, but apparently the rest of the world isn't used to genuine New Yorkers when they become annoyed.

PS: lol, I see the NYC crew is representin' in this thread so far.

He really did seem like a poor sport. I mean, I don't think he was actually going to follow though with his threat to "beat the fucking shit" out of that girl, and I don't think he really said anything that should/would endanger his job as councilman ...

But he really did come off as an angry, humorless, thug.

No, they have a sense of humor but it's buried deep beneath a thick layer of neurosis which seems to develop in anyone who spends more than a day in the city; the fight or flight response is the predominate mental state for most residents and long-term visitors.

I was wondering why he could not find it funny, too. No reason to be annoyed.
