Bill O'Reilly is a schmuck

He was on the Letterman show tonight to promote his book.

He thinks that Americans are opposed to the war in Iraq are "depressed" and would rather watch "Bowling for Dollars" and "Dancing With The Stars."

David Letterman was civil, but he ripped into O'Reilly right from the start.

At least O'Reilly was honest about one thing - it's all about oil.

He said that the reason to stay in Iraq was to keep Iran out of there, and to keep Iran's "jihadists" from controlling the flow of oil.


There's more, but I'm too pissed off to watch any more of this.

At least his discomfort is obvious - O'Reilly is NOT used to being questioned by someone he doesn't dare shout down or ridicule for fear of not being invited on the show to promote his next book.

Somebody should tell Bill about the old saying, with update -

Anger directed inward is depression; anger directed outward is a change come November 7.

We're directing our anger outward.

O'Reilly himself is a thin-skinned lying sack of really dumb hammers.

For example, he recently told Barbara Walters "... the FBI came in and warned me and a few other people at Fox News that Al Qeada had us on a death list..."

Pure puffery. Total fabrication. Unhinged.

Fox officials and the FBI said they had no idea what the heck he was talikng about.

You just can't believe a word this schmuck says.

If I were in Letterman's place I would have bounded and gagged O'Reilly and handed his sorry butt over to the band for a round of water-boarding.

THAT would have been entertaining.

Amen to that.. I've noticed that Bill doesn't shout down people who he feels might put him on the business end of a beating. Classic high school bully, just with a crappy T.V show and a history of sexual harassment.
