In a bid to quiet the furor over his previous, incendiary remarks about San Francisco, Bill O'Reilly ... okay he made it worse...
First, the guy from "Hard Copy" (or was it "Inside Edition?") tried to whitewash his invitation for al-Qaida to attack San Francisco, both on his web-site and on his show to leave off the "if you wanna bomb San Fran, go ahead" part (in fairness, he did say the rest of the country was off limits...) and he used the word "guttersnipe" - cute for Stewie, not manly for O'Reilly... Then he wrote his remarks off as a "satirical riff," and blamed left wing critics for making a big deal about them... Then he defended himself on a friendly Cali radio talk show, and later invited the hosts onto his show, on which he embellished his previous comments by suggesting that Frisco raise itself a Village People-style militia to defend the city... okay that visual is funny, but I digress ... Now, the sex harasser with syndication says he's going to publish an enemies list on his web-site of bloggers who attack him! Agitprop is taking names (requesting admission shortly)...
The San Francisco supervisor wants The Falafel fired from his radio and TV shows (that won't happen. Remember Bill Bennett and the Black mass abortion gambit? Rush Limbaugh and the "mothers little helpers?" Let alone the Donovan McNabb flap? Both still working... as is Mad Marion himself) Most San Franciscans I'm sure could give a damn about O'Reilly's opinion (really, does anyone with a mind of his or her own really listen to this guy?) Besides, if Bill loses his gainful employment, he's liable to start hanging around the ladies dressing rooms at Macy's during the days, with a trenchcoat and fedora on and a video cellphone hidden in his pants, and who wants that?
Update: My letter to Bill O'Reilly:
To: Bill O'Reilly, O'Reilly Factor Host : oreilly@foxnews.com cc: John Moody, Senior Vice-President, News: john.moody@foxnews.com
Dear Mr. O'Reilly:
Please add me (blog.reidreport.com) to your list of enemy bloggers. As much as I hate to consider myself to be anyone's enemy, you are simply out of your mind, and therefore, I feel it's my duty to oppose you -- well, not so much you, as the fact that you're nuts...
Have a wonderful day. Oh, and remember: if they bomb San Francisco, technically, they're still bombing America.
Sincerely,
Joy Reid ReidBlog http://blog.reidreport.com
Good night, and good luck. Previous: Tags: Bill, O'Reilly, talk, Terrorism, News. |
