1. Pathetic, thy name is O'Reilly -- kudos to the caller!!! n/t

[roguevalley]

2. Oh my god. What a stupid ass. A complete stupid idiotic ass.

[Downtown Hound]

3. Hehehehehehehehe!

Hey Bill! Throw your phantom Peabody at them!

[Batgirl]

33. yes indeed!

[cornfedyank]

4. ki ck

[roguevalley]

8. Nobody knows the troubles I've seen! Nobody knows my sorrow.

So, even combat veterans don't know what he say when he was embedded in some digbat place. He is delusional. And pathetic. That is one great caller.

[cornfedyank]

30. the vets know.. how else would they be vets?

"the bottom line," says Bowman, "is that the best thing we can do for our combat vets is to quit making so many more of them."... LT. Col. Robert Bowman(101 combat missions in Viet Nam)

[AlCzervik]

5. Oh that is good!!!!

[ET Awful]

6. LOL . . . is that the A-Team theme song? :)

BUAHAHAHAHAHA

[Kingshakabobo]

23. Yes, it is.

Hannibal, you on the jazz again.- Mr. T.

[ET Awful]

29. LOL!

Well done Al.

[buddysmellgood]

7. Apparently o'really can say whatever he wants and his followers will

believe.

[Beware the Beast Man]

9. What a numbskull!

Great spin, Billy-boy.

[NeoTraitors]

10. He was right there in the thick of

things along with Rush's butt boil.

[AlCzervik]

12. "Shove it...shut up shut up shut up!"

[oneighty]

11. So what did he claim

180

[alcuno]

16. "When I was in combat..." blah, blah, blah. Combat?

Just a slip of his forked tongue.

[sakabatou]

13. I'm having a lot of trouble trying to listen to it

[TeddyKGB]

14. Do you have Windows Media Player?

Left-clicking the link should pop a new browser window, which should pop your WMP or whatever you've got playing .wma files.

That doesn't work, right-click the link and save it to your hard drive, then listen to it.

[sakabatou]

18. Still isn't working

gonna try restarting the copmputer.

[TeddyKGB]

19. OK

Let me know what happens when you try it again.

[sakabatou]

32. It's says

Cannot open. Be sure the file and path is correct. -_-

[OrwellwasRight]

31. Does it stream for Macs too?

[Downtown Hound]

37. It worked on mine n/t

[OrwellwasRight]

38. All I got was a blank explorer page.

Maybe I'll try again tomorrow.

[yankeedem]

15. Hilarious, thanks

What a tool O'really is.

[adigal]

17. Somewhere, the baby Jesus is crying

because people are making fun of Bill O'Reilly (as he claimed on his show one night.)

[knight_of_the_star]

20. Wow

So being caught in a few firefights in Central and South American counts as "being in combat" in the same way the US military is? I doubt it!

[TeddyKGB]

21. From O'Really's bio:

http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2001/7/11/133950.shtml

O'Reilly was then promoted to the CBS network, where he reported on the wars in El Salvador and the Falkland Islands from his base in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

[anarchy1999]

27. This is a tell all statement.

"O'Reilly was then promoted to the CBS network, where he reported on the wars in El Salvador and the Falkland Islands from his base in Buenos Aires, Argentina."

El Salvador, look for Negroponte. POS, MF'er.

[knight_of_the_star]

28. That doesn't sound like reporting a combat situation

That sounds more like a plush desk job to me. What a liar, he seems to be shooting his credibility to hell everytime he's been opening his mouth recently.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

22. Bwahahahaha! Someone send him this new Al Quida tape!

[otohara]

24. It's Stunning Just How Many Lies

they ALL tell.

[alcuno]

25. Didn't * once say the same thing? "When I was in Vietnam..."

Two little men with two little _______s.

[DaCheat]

26. Wow, what a moron

That makes me just want to strangle him.

[Liberal_Dog]

34. I Heard Al Play The Clip

You could just tell that Al really enjoyed playing it.

[OutsourceBush]

35. He was in combat, and his weapon was a dildo

[daleo]

39. And he was equipped with loofah body armor.

The big sponge.

[raggedcompany]

36. Big 'ol kick!

Wow. I don't listen to O'Reilly much, so it's all the more comical to hear this.

I understand Franken is the nice face on Air America and all, but he spent A LOT of time playing around with that skit, when he had all he needed to really stick O'Reily. Just play the clip, read off the facts, and riff on it. Enough of the rambling radio skits when life provides better copy!!!!
