At almost 6ft 5-in, Bill O’Reilly could easily elicit Full Metal Jacket‘s DI’s quip, “I didn’t know shit could be stacked that high.”
Come to think of it, to call this blight on American communications a pile of excrement is almost to give excrement itself a bad name. Maddox called him, appropriately, “a giant self-collapsing vortex of hypocrisy.” He was being kind. Read the rest of his note of appreciation, it’s pretty candid.
Anyway, here he is, this pretentious, blubbering, disgusting buffoon and shameless bully proving his worth to his masters, like a good running dog that he is, this time silencing Ron Paul who, whatever differences we may have with him due to his extreme libertarian views, is neither dishonest nor dumb about America’s foreign policy. Note that O’Reilly cuts Paul off precisely after he’s been saying a few hard truths about US foreign policy…and is on the brink of explaining why “the world hates us.” Heh. Fat chance. Some other time, Ron.
By the way, just for foisting the likes of Bill O’Reilly on the American consciousness, for constantly instilling obscurantism, hatred and enormous lies, media baron Rupert Murdoch deserves to be given hard life with no parole, but only after a generous public flogging. And he’s being lucky because the punishment hardly fits the crime.—Sean Lenihan
