Bill O'Reilly wants your opinion |
|
Apparently Mr. O'Reilly wants to know who you think the most offensive political pundit in America is, let's tell him! VOTE http://billoreilly.com/

On a random side note. . . does anyone else find it ghastly that he still allows that Those Who Trespass book to be in print, let alone tries to SELL it?
P.S. It's slow as crap for me, too.

7. Why? What's the story on that book? |
|
It sounds like something more than simple wretchedness. It's the first I've heard about O'Fryguy writing a book.

10. Okay, I couldn't make this up. |
|
He wrote a book about a newscaster/commentator (think: Bill's job) who goes around getting revenge on everyone who ever wronged him. Franken has a small sampling of the book in Lies And The Lying Liars Who Tell Them. . . it's the most godawful piece of shit I have ever read. Not to mention the obvious narcisism of publishing a fantasy-revenge journal and pretending it's an actual novel.

17. It sounds like a must-read |

Or maybe I'll just chuckle at the excerpts when I finally read the Franken book, as I've meant to do lo these many years.

I suspect if I had answered "Stuart Smalley", that vote would have gone right through. But since I didn't, it's taking forever. :eyes:

"Now for the most ridiculous item of the day: Well, it turns out *I* am the most offensive pundit out there, which makes me think...I am doing my job well. To do any less would be...RIDICULOUS."

14. My vote went through right away |

I went to the site directly, rather than through the link.
Feel cheated, though. You don't get the poll results.

18. I actually disagree with you |
|
Rush and Coulter don't try to pass themselves off as "fair and balanced" or "reasonable" or "full of common sense" a "regular guy", etc like O'Shrill does - which I find much more insipid.

23. rush limbaugh tries to pass himself off as an everyman too |
|
they all lie about who they are, so let's go to rhetoric.
which one of these three (Coulter, Limbaugh, O'Reilly) wrote "let's invade their countries, kill their leaders, and convert them to Christianity?"
which one of these three said "have you ever noticed that every wanted criminal looks like Jesse Jackson?"
which of these three said that the koran contained the quote "kill everyone who doesn't smell bad?"
which one of these three denegrated feminism by saying it was simply so "ugly women can get into public?"
The answers to all these questions is NOT Bill O'Reilly.
Bill O'Reilly's a lot better than coulter and rush on some relatively large issues (he's overwhelmingly pro-environment and anti-death penalty, and he does seem to genuinely care about the children).
As I said to call anyone but Coulter or Limbaugh more offensive is intellectually dishonest and only done to piss off Bill O'Reilly, and I don't think he cares what we all think of him.

25. Yep. O'Reilly got my vote |
|
for the same reason. Coulter and Rush don't do the "regular guy" straight-talkin' schtick. O'Reilly is a fake. A phoney. He's about as blue-collar Irish tough kid from the streets as Bush. He's a coddled brat with a thin skin who whines about anyone who shows him up. I mean the guy carried on for months about George Clooney. And his tirade against Al Franken shows the true Bill: an inflated bag of insecurities and smarminess. Coulter and Rush are reptiles. They know it. We know it. They make money. But O'Reilly pathetically strives for something more. In his mind, he's Edward R. Murrow. He's not. He's Vivian Leigh in A Streetcar Named Desire. Past his prime, humiliating himself for acceptance, and insane.

20. What, We Can't See the Results Now? And 2 Points |
|
1) His novel, described above as so poor, was bought by Mel-"Torture-flick"-GIBSON for development as a movie, which leads O'WHORELY to call himself "a business partner" of old Torture-flick.
2) Leave it to O'WHORELY to spin HIS "winning" this poll as another mark of his excellence. He just HAS to come out on top.

O'Reilley will lie about the results, like he lies about everything.
There's no other reason to hide the results of an internet poll. Little Bill is a wanker.
