Bill O, you buffoon
Being a moderate in politics, I watch MSNBC a few hours a day and Fox News a couple hours a week to get an idea of what both sides are saying in the political discussion. But Friday night's O'Reilly Factor, which is about the only show I can stand on that channel, was off the chart for stupidity, except for a couple of people, 1 of course is Leslie Marshall, who I follow on twitter and facebook. His 2 lead stories were the fact that comedians make more fun of the GOP than they do of Dems, and President Obama cutting departments from the government is no different than Bain cutting workers from a factory to make it more profitable before selling it. Both of these stories, if they were done on Stewart's or Colbert's report would have been satire and said the same thing that Bill O said, but Bill said it as hard news. Bill, a comedian gets paid to make people laugh. They don't care if the person saying what they make fun of is GOP or DEM. Think if President Obama couldn't name 3 departments of the government, like Perry did, comedians wouldn't jump all over him? Of course they would. But when the token Dem said as much, you scoffed at her. When Lesley reminded you that cutting the government bureaucracy saved all American money, and when Bain laid people off, it was Bain that made money in the long run, you snickered at her and said that they were the same thing. Bill, you're a pompous buffoon, and how Lesley puts up being on your show is beyond me. The only redeeming thing about you is that compared to Geraldo and Lou Dobbs on your show, you're a fountain of brilliance. And yes, next to Hannity, you're a genius. But that still doesn't stop you from being a buffoon. But you are a first class one, I'll give you that.
