Bill O'Reilly is Crazy Like a Fox

Joe Pine, if any of you remember Joe Pine, the mental/media precurser to Billy O'Realy interviewed Frank Zappa. As he noticed Frank had long hair Joe Pine said "Frank, you have long hair, does that make you a woman?" now Frank noticed the Joe Pine had an artifical leg and said to Joe "Joe, i see you have a wooded leg, does that make you a table?"

Does that make you a table? ha, ha, ha........ Sorry, but that tickled my ribs, and the laugh was involuntary.... ha, ha, ha....... c.i.

That's pretty funny -- I'll bet that Al Franken is getting a kick out of that.

That stuff about the non-awards that Franken unearthed about O'Reilly was priceless - I hope it gets MAJOR play - give that stinking bastard a very little of what he's been dishing out for YEARS.

Bill O'Reilly Is A Big Fat Idiot!


. . . and, Snood, it was so much more than that . . . Franken really went for the jugular: he said, "we're not on your show now!" and "we liberals are just not going to take this anymore" and much more than that; it was extremely heated and Franken put O'Reilly in his place on other issues as well - it was wonderful - he sounded like he's dead-on serious. I just hope C-Span will re-run the entire "event"!

Sh**! I don't get C span.

I recall Joe Pine very well. I always wondered how one that sick commanded any type of audience. Of course that was before Rush Limbaugh became a 'working class hero.'

It's an oldie, but a goodie:

What's the difference between Limbaugh and the Hindenberg?

Well, one is a fat, nazi gasbag . . .



. . . and the other is just a dirigible . . .

The segment will be re-aired Sunday, June 8, at 5:30 P.M. (on 2nd edit) ET on C-SPAN2.

Or you can go to my other post and watch it now...

Shoot, I'm gonna be in Tulsa and probably nowhere a TV at the time. I've been Franken fan since before I even knew he was political.

And O'Reilly may be (actually, is) completely objectionable, but I don't think he's insane. He's making a ton of money from his act...

When I die it is almost going to be worth going to hell just to know that O'Reilly, Limbaugh, Bush and the whole goddam crew are burning there with me and Hitler.

Methinks O'Reilly's personality is horrific, and he is buying his own PR-- but he has accomplished some impressive stuff, IMO----> Red Cross, the FL professor/HAMAS fundraiser.

Maybe you need to be pompous and self-promoting to get to that position, and possess an expanded feeling that you can make such a difference.

QUESTION:
Can Franken use Bill's picture on the cover of his book without permission or paying him some fee? I do't understand the peculiarities of 'public domain'. Some people sue for this type of thing and win--some lose....?

I'm unaware of the fellow, but I have just spotted this on BartCop:

If there is such a thing as karma, reciprocity, or justice in the world, this piece of **** has a lot of public humiliation coming.

snood=the master of understatement

I pride myself on my diplomacy.

Don't hold it in, snood.

Here's a link to the C-Span telecast of the BookExpo luncheon featuring Molly Ivins, Bill O'Reilly, and Al Franken.

C-Span telecast 1:26

The link goes straight to the video, opening in your media device (Real One Player for me). It's almost an hour and a half long, and you should watch it with a broadband connection.

It's an outstanding discussion first of all, with Molly Ivins playing more the counterbalance to the right-left catfight between the guys.

If you want to skip to the action, then I didn't write down the precise times, but Al Franken's remarks begin at the 30-minute mark (approx.) and you can observe O'Reilly's anger just beginning to boil.

A coupla highlights:

"Asking if there's bias in the media is sort of like asking if al-Qaeda puts too much oil on their hummus. It's not the most pressing question..."

And a direct quote from one of the 2000 debates:

"By far the vast majority of my tax cut goes to those at the bottom."--GWB

So while Gore was skewered for mistakenly saying he went to a disaster site with James Witt, there has been nothing said about this whopper by Bush. Al Franken's take is not there's media bias, but that the media responds, "He just doesn't know...leave him alone..."

If you want the best in ten minutes, go to the end--about the 1:16 mark--and pick up the question from the audience about how the dialogue exhibited at the luncheon is representative of that which separates us, and what (asking of the three panelists) would they do to advance dialogue that would move us all back together.

"Completely insane" by who's standards? c.i.
