O’Reilly…Franken…the bout of the century
Two bloggers I dig: http://uggabugga.blogspot.com/ http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/habronattus/ All right. I took this out of haberonattus’ blog. This is Bill O’Reilly responding to Franken’s comments on Book TV. “What this guy writes and says does not matter to me, other than, Mike, he insulted me in a forum where I was at a decided disadvantage*, you know, he went over his time limit. It was very, very sneaky, and you know, as I said at the top of the broadcast, somebody calls you a liar to your face, you don’t just laugh that off. That’s an insult. In the old west, that woulda got you shot. See in the old west, and I woulda loved to have been in the old west, Al and I woulda just had a little, uh, a little shootout. You know? We woulda went out, on Wilshire Avenue, and uh, six shooters, now he’s a much smaller target than I am, about four foot eleven, but he’s wider, and it woulda been you know, Clint Eastwood time. I woulda had the cheroot, the serape, woulda given my squint, and I woulda put a bullet right between his head. Woulda been wrong, woulda been wrong, but it was the old west, and I would not have known any better, so I wouldn’t have been held accountable because I would not have known any–now I do, now in 2003 that would have been wrong.” Advocating murder. Yep. Oh wait…it isn’t advocating murder because he is pretending to be in the Old West. Right. I get it. I was told that my title “John Ashcroft is a fag” may be offensive to cigarettes.
