If Brian Williams Has To Take A 'Hiatus' For Puffing His 'Combat Credentials,' So Does Bill-O!

If Brian Williams has to take a hiatus from NBC News for puffing his macho-news-man bona fides, so does that asshat Bill O'Reilley. IS IT A DEAL? I could live with that. Little known fact: there are about five million chickenhawks in the United States who are suing the United States Army over their useless government regulations, which are being used to deny them their rightfully earned Combat Infantry Badges. That bureaucratic red tape includes A) a failure to define an internet 'pissing contest' as combat, and B) the petty technicality that somebody actually has to have been in the US Army before they can be awarded a CIB.

As for O'Reilly, never seen the guy, since we're in a "no spin zone"...

Because of him I was introduced to Stefanie Miller, Bill Press and Thom Hartmann. They all blow the doors off anything NPR offers.

Plus he played the dead during the time when there were no ads, which unfortunately was a a lot.
