Joe Scarborough Defends Bill O'Reilly: 'He Was In The Falklands!'
http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/sjoe-carborough-defends-oreilly-falklands
Joe Scarborough told his fellow co-hosts of MSNBC's "Morning Joe" on Wednesday morning that he didn't "get" the questions surrounding Bill O'Reilly's war tales and appeared to suggest the Fox host was "in the Falklands."
"This Bill O'Reilly thing, I'll tell you the truth, I don't get it," he said.
Last week, Mother Jones magazine published an article that cast doubt on things O'Reilly has said about having covered the Falklands War for CBS News in the 1980s.
"Are we debating rubber bullets versus real bullets?" Scarborough said. "I don't know."

(16,091 posts)1. Saying O'Reilly was in the "Falklands"...
...when he was 1,000 miles away...is like me saying I went to Mexico, when I was standing in line at Chipolte's!
