Douchebagsayswhat?

I'm not the biggest fan of reading The New Yorker...I tried it for a while, and have to concede that they usually have very interesting articles, but given their output, I just couldn't make the time for it in a week and I have to admit it can come off as somewhat snooty for my tastes at times.

But I did enjoy their election seasons podcasts and will occasionally go over to Hendrik Hertzberg's blog.

Bill O'Reilly decided to start going after my boy this week about something he wrote about Newt Gingrich, who I think is the man of Bill's fantasies.

I could care less about his little rants on the show, but this week, they pulled the old 'catch him on camera while walking out of his apartment' routine which is just so low-class. Faux News continues to earn its reputation as the WWF of the news media.

I weep for the future.

Bill O'Reilly is an Idiot

Getting ready for work here and have Bill's show on from last night.

He had Howard Wolfson in for an interview and popped off about how Howard Dean must be locked in a basement and that he's been completely unheard of since the election, being that he's kind of a nut.

Yeah, Bill, he's been under wraps except for a speech he gave at the National Press Club yesterday that was shown live on CSPAN.

Idiot.

Pinhead or Patriot?

I Hate to Side With Lawbreakers...

But BillO's site getting hacked is kind of like an opium den burning down.

Yeah, it's sad that human beings had to go through this suffering, but they were up to no good in getting to the place that ended up affecting them...

Jesse Scissorhands

Don't f-ck with this man of God.

He'll cut your balls off!

Later in the show, Ted Baxter left an implied threat out there for the Rev to come on Fox to talk...since they still have more damaging footage that they've not played yet.

In Case You Missed Bill O This Week...

...This is what you missed.

You can thank me anytime you want...

Funny Fox Item

Someone running with the dastardly rumour that Brit would give up his election night thrown to BillO.

It ain't so...some things are still sacred.

clipped from bigheaddc.com Crain’s Reporter Has an Omelet Worth of Misinformation on His Face Today As one wag us, “Just the fact that the notion of O’Reilly anchoring election coverage even passed Flamm’s smell test is off the charts. This guy should run fleeing from the media beat immediately before he suffers any further embarrassment.” Friday February 29th, 2008 12:16 PM by BHDC Staff Filed under: Journalism, FOX News, Bill O'Reilly, Brit Hume, Matthew Flamm Looks like Crain’s New York Business reporter Matthew Flamm royally screwed up with a doozie of a “report” today, which indicated Bill O’Reilly might be “anchoring” FNC’s Ohio and Texas primary coverage Tuesday night. This guy doesn’t just have egg on his face – he has an entire omelet. As soon as we saw this story, alarm bells went off. Anyone who covers FOX knows that Brit Hume would never be dethroned from anchoring the network’s political coverage.

BillO Gets in a Scuffle With Secret Service

Lynn Sweet of the Chicago Sun-Times says that Bill was causing a little bit of a ruckus at an Obama event in Nashua today and ended up drawing a bit too much attention to himself.

Rather amusing.

BigHead calls the kettle black.

Not to Go All Fox News on You

I don't see the whole "Happy Holidays" thing as part of a devious plot by BillO's "secular progressives."

(For reasons that are more or less obvious depending on how well you know me ;-) )

But I do find the whole aversion to wishing someone a Merry Christmas to just be an annoyance. God forbid I offend anyone who might overhear me wishing a co-worker, a guy whose daughter was just confirmed last week, a Merry Christmas.

It's fine for me to ask someone if they saw the Browns game the other day and not worry that they're not a football fan, but this god damned holiday thing has gotten so sacred.

Anyway, I couldn't let the week pass without throwing down a little Boss action. I've never really gotten into him much (sorry, MC) but I always liked his cut of Santa Clause is Coming to Town.

This is another video from the famed Capitol Theatre in Passaic, NJ....from September 20, 1978 (hence his reference to this being 'a little early')

I'll be traveling in a few days and any posts will come from my work PC, so no music/videos till next week.

BillO....Mr. Multicultural

Apparently, Bill never took a flight with the jive turkeys from Airplane!

This is from his radio show the other day...I guess this is old news to hipsters like Cody, but I fell out of the loop temporarily.

And I couldn't get over the fact that there was no difference between Sylvia's restaurant and any other restaurant in New York City. I mean, it was exactly the same, even though it's run by blacks, primarily black patronship.

Bill O'Reilly...A Man for All Seasons

The Bill-O Factor

When I was a kid and learned about the Nazis, I sometimes wondered how a whole society could get all whipped up into believing that an ethnic group was the source of so many ills.

It just seemed so foreign to me.

While common sense forces me to stop well short of saying that we're on par with Germany in the 1930s, I just read something that showed me just how easily people here are being whipped up, too.

The McPaper ran a story about how many DUI deaths there were in the country last year, which states had more, which had less, etc.

This is no doubt a social ill worthy of folks' attention and with the traditional Labor Day crackdown around the corner, it was a timely story.

But I started scrolling through the comments at the bottom of it and while it was by no means the majority of posters, the number of people referencing "illegals" and how they "know that in the origin country of 'illegals' there is not much education on this" left me speechless.

I was without speech.

I've seen Bill-O do shows like this...finding crimes that are committed by a wide cross-section of people living in America (including "illegals") and all but saying that if we just got rid of the spics, our other unrelated social ills would be cured.

There was a story the other day about a looming water shortage in Las Vegas. You can extend the argument above to show that if it weren't for all these damned wet backs, we could all have our own cement pond.

Question is, who would clean them?

Billo...He's Ready for Some Beauty Queen Booty!

"Was it a negligee situation?"

Ewwwwwwwwwwww.....

This is the best-quality clip I could find, but it's a bit long.  FF to the 2 minute mark for the goods...

Talk About a Boob Job

I was flipping through the "news" networks this evening and had to stop on BillO's FNC show.

He had what is known as a body language expert on.  She had mildly eyecatching looks and methinks that's about all she brought to the table.  Her banal observations about the Edwards couple's body language 
during the Couric interview justified turning off the volume. 

Unfortunately, what I found did not surprise me much.  Aside from sales pitches, I could not pull together much more information on Tonya Reiman.

Tonya Reiman is a Long Island based body language expert, hypnotist and professional speaker, best known for her body language analysis of political and celebrity figures on The O'Reilly Factor. While certified in hypnosis, she holds no advanced degrees in psychology or body language.

She caught TVNewser's eye awhile back., too
