Bill O'Really wants you to Shut-up
God, what a d*ckhead...

Bill O'Reilly Wants You To Shut Up



Fox News channel talk show host Bill O'Reilly says "shut up" the way other people say "um."

On his daily show, The O'Reilly Factor, he uses it as a place-holder for an idea still formulating in his brain. As a way to begin a sentence, end it, or punctuate it. Sometimes he says "shut up" with fury, eyes bulging. When he's being dismissive, he delivers it offhandedly and without real malice. Other times he says it gently, with a minxlike twinkle in his eye, signaling to all the world that he's just being frisky.

O'Reilly wants specific individuals to shut up, and he names them. He would like all gays and lesbians to zip it—even though he's invited them on his show to talk about … homosexuality. He's even heaved this impolite language at entire nations, demanding they recuse themselves from the international conversation.

In the half-decade his top-rated show has been on the air, he's called for the muzzling of practically everybody. At the rate O'Reilly is going, he'll be the only person allowed to speak in a couple of years. Which, I suppose, is his master plan. Here are excerpts from his show: http://slate.msn.com/id/2087706/

1. Splotchy
O'Really got all over Al Franken for the splotchy picture on the cover of Al's book. Looking at this one, looks like some serious Photoshop help is needed.

Or does he just get splotchy when he's telling someone to shut up?

4. That's the same picture
That *is* the picture on Franken's book.

To tell you the truth, the only thing that bugs me about Franken is his tendency to make fun of the physical appearance of people like Limbaugh and O'Really. It tarnishes the rest of his argument, imho.

5. I'm Trying to Decide Who Is More Unpleasant...
Bill O'Reilly or Robert Novak? How's that for a Hobson's Choice?
