Bill O'Reilly makes sense for once

[Zuni]

calls on oil companies to reduce profit margins by at least 20% for the benefit of America. Says oil companies who keep charging very high prices in the wake of this disaster will be trashed on his program.

Normally Bill O'Reilly is a bloviating ass. Every now and then he says something that makes sense

[GreenPartyVoter]

1. *blink blink* Well, all right, Bill. I'll give you credit for that one.

[bluetuesday]

8. o'reilly

I think O'reilly has seen the ghost of Christmas's past!

[tjdee]

2. Like oil companies care about little Bill O'Reilly.

I bet they're laughing their asses off over that one!

[Zuni]

4. his ratings ARE down

[jsamuel]

3. Communist!

(haha)

[Fridays Child]

5. I've always known that it would take something like this to wake up...

...the sheeple--a direct hit on their wallets.

[Soup Bean]

19. Isn't that sad, though? You're right.

Bush's ratings were dropping mostly because the rising gas prices made any argument against him attractive.

[Horse with no Name]

He's just pandering

He doesn't give a shit.

[LisaM]

6. In other words, he doesn't own any oil stock

that's my guess.

[Doctor_J]

7. Wha? the free market devotee doesn't want

"the market" to sort it out? Hypocrite.

[Mr_Spock]

9. That blathering craven cretin is trying to take advantage of this

I hate him.

[TheFarseer]

29. I don't care what the hell he is doing

as long as he is saying the right thing.

[Mr_Spock]

32. I do

He'd stab you in the back for a dollar. He is an evil satanic vulture and would do anything for a stunt - then start trying to twist the truth 10 minutes later...

[SammyWinstonJack]

10. Resident Nero should be calling for that! Not telling us that the

high prices are a result of the hurricane! :argh: Congress should demand that Resident Vacation do exactly that, or face investigations.

[Marr]

11. What? I was told that if we only reduced taxes on the wealthy, they'd

give money to the needy themselves! I thought that was why we didn't need to tax them or use the tax money for social programs.

Is Bill seriously suggesting they might not do that?? My goodness!!!

[Zuni]

24. I hope so

because charitable giving hasn't gone up and private charities, other than the heavy hitters like the Red Cross are not going to be able to do squat in a disaster of this magnitude

Without Bush's tax cuts we would have a BUDGET SURPLUS to spend on emergencies like this

[dddem]

12. I'm not totally surpised.

After all, even a broken clock is right twice a day.

[w13rd0]

13. Bill also claimed he's hold Bush accountable...

...if no WMD were found. He's a liar. And anything he says that makes sense, he makes up for it 24-72 hours later.

[Beelzebud]

20. Exactly. Glad I'm not the only one with a memory.

Shill O'Lielly is lieing jackass.

He is a reed in the wind.

[Panda1]

14. Even a Stopped Clock Is Right Twice a Day.

[despairing optimist]

15. Windfall profit tax on oil? So Jimmy Carter.

Help me out on this. Wasn't it Jimmy who put that one in the last time we had gas/oil rationing during that REAL Seventies Show? My mood ring's no help.

[Ian David]

16. O'Reilly must drive a Hummer. n/t

[delete_bush]

27. I think he drives a Loofah

but would like to get a Hummer.

[deadparrot]

17. Looks like Bill doesn't want to shell out $5 a gallon, either...

:crazy:

[AllyCat]

18. Amazing what people will say when their pocketbooks get hit

Bush's poll numbers according to USA Hooray, the Nation's Coloring Book say he is at 40% approval for overall job performance and 53% for his handling of "terrorism", but 26% for his handling of the gas price crisis.

Nobody cares until it comes out of their wallets.

[SledDriver]

21. Maybe he'll organize a boycott of the oil companies!

...wait for it. :sarcasm:

[BeyondThePale]

22. Sooner or later the sun shines on a dog's ass...

So not impossible that O'Reilly could make sense (by chance)

[Zuni]

26. even a broken clock, the saying goes, is right twice a day

[huskerlaw]

23. WHAAAAT?!

::grabs calendar and writes down historic moment::

[bridgit]

25. he likely holds stock in exxon...

[wolfgirl]

28. I think Bill O'Lielly should go one

better and demand the President place a price cap on gas. That would be an immediate help for all of us....won't happen tho...

[dave29]

30. How about cut profit margins completely

just a thought.

[Generator]

31. Yeah that'll happen-sarcastic eye roll

O'Rielly says something like this just to look human. In another few days it'll be the same ole same ole-Cindy Sheehan is a terrorist and Michael Moore and the ACLU are evil. I haven't watched him since 2003-back then he promised-HA DE FUCKING HA-to "hold the president accountable if no WMD were found." Such FOLLOW UP from this "I'm not a Republican, I'm an independent water carrrying Bush licking lover." (sorry my one media rant for the day)
