1. Damage control?
Edited on Sun Sep-21-03 06:43 PM by Skittles
I heard a promo - Bill says his dad "didn't know how to raise children". I think it accounts for a lot of Bill's obvious rage. My boyfriend Tombo's dad worked with Bill's dad in Long Island and attended his funeral - he describes Bill's dad as somewhat of a brute.

2. Bill says lots of people want
to hurt him...he has to be cautious and have
body guards. He is paying a price for power.

3. Did he really just say...
Edited on Sun Sep-21-03 07:28 PM by VelmaD
that he had been concerned for fairness and fighting for people "getting hosed" since he was 2 years old? Jesus h christ on a popsicle stick. *rolls eyes*

4. He says
life is hard , life is flaws, people want money, power,
sex, and will exploit you to get it. You have to be able
to tell good people from bad. Says he has a gene to know
who phonies are.

if you do not reflect.

5. Oh My GAWD!!!
It isn't just me? O'Reilly just threatened Franken.

Said "if this was the Wild West there'd only be one of us left standing".

He's a fuckin psycho.

7. Most conservatives
Live their life in a wild-west fantasy world. No government control, no taxes, no minorities, you can do whatever you want, and you can kill anyone who looks at you funny.

10. O'Reilly is a crybaby
Franken would kick his ass in "the Wild West" just like he kicks O'Reilly's ass in the real world.

13. Franken vs. O'Really - Book sales
I predict...that Franken will kick O'Really's ass when it comes to book sales. IF O'Really's sales aren't propped up by fake-ass wingnut Scaifoid organization bulk sales.

I couldn't watch the O'Really Dateline thing tonight. It was bad enuf seeing his stretched, comb-overed mug on the cover of the Parade propaganda sheet today.

11. If It Were The Wild West
he'd have been bushwhacked long ago.

He has all the Charm of Bill Anderson, and the restraint of Quantrill.

8. Well he said in the beginning of
the interview that he is pretty much
the same off the air as on....he certainly
was the same on Dateline. Arrogant, cold,
bullying, deeply defended.

12. I loved this part:
My father didn't know how to raise children. That's because his father didn't.

So O'Reilly wrote the Ten Commandments of Raising Children or some such horseshit and put it in his book. But . . . but . . . but his father didn't know how to raise children. So how does he?

15. Not a complete blowjob...
...but you've got to wonder why NBC thinks it's worth spending 15 minutes to promote their competitor, even if they do get a momentary boost in their ratings for it.

If I didn't know better, I'd say that these allegedly competing companies were just some kind of big club or something. (Hmmm...)
