O'Reilly pledges to match each sale of his book with a copy to a soldier.

[tinfoilinfor2005]

I thought Imus was going to have a heart attack. He literally screamed, "Pull over to the side of the road, YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BELIEVE THIS!"

He said that Keith couldn't possibly say enough bad things about O'Reilly. He said O'Reilly should stick to making obscene phone calls to his staff.

It was hysterical. Imus (I know, he's a dipshit, but sometimes the show is too funny to turn off) was so offended by Billo's grand gesture, he literally couldn't speak for a few seconds, he was so livid.

1. Why Does OReilly hate the troops??

[papau]

6. because he needs a tax break from the "charity gift" - and returned unsold copies are piling up n/t

n/t

[Just-plain-Kathy]

2. I heard about this on another show....I thought it was a joke..How funny.

What an ass.

[pwb]

3. the troops could use it, i hear toilet paper is in short supply in iraq?

[Scurrilous]

10. LOL

:thumbsup:

[Alamom]

4. It is quite awful to think about. n/t

[Virginia Dare]

5. Oh, what a grand self-less gesture on B.O.'s part...

of course it won't hurt that it will be a giant tax write-off for him...:eyes:

[tinfoilinfor2005]

7. They just replayed it and it was even funnier the second time.

Imus SHOUTING, "This is your grand gesture to the soldiers who are fighting and dying? To send them a copy of your stupid book?"
Imus literally lost his breath from frustration. It was priceless.

8. Can self-agrandizing juvenile crap be used as body armor?

[oasis]

9. Imus broke his own record on rants. (eom)

[tanyev]

11. Talk about hurting troop morale.

:puke:

[VWolf]

12. Hope he's got enough postage to send both copies (nt)

[tinfoilinfor2005]

20. Sidekick Charles said, "That is, if he sells any."

They pretty much took old Billo over the coals this morning. It was better than bacon for breakfast. :)

[C_U_L8R]

13. Why does O'Reilly hate our troops? (v2)

Leave em alone Bill.. they don't need your stupid book


edit.. dupe title

[Beer Snob-50]

14. Come on people

the troops can use some light reading fiction. It will help take their minds off this bs for a brief moment.

[izzie]

15. Sounds like the old tallywacker joke from the Navy.

Guess I was wed to a sailor to long.

[Canuckistanian]

16. Wow, O'Reilly really IS the new Gandhi

This rivals Limpbutt's getting his listeners to pay for Rush "24/7" memberships for the troops.

The self-sacrifice is... well, words fail me.

[LynneSin]

17. Don't they have enough materials to keep the oven fires going

:shrug:

[ruiner4u]

18. Haven't the troops suffered enough? n/t

[TZ]

19. Way to go

Bill. That's exactly what our troops need in the chaos that is Iraq- Propaganda. :sarcasm:
Taking some lessons from the North Koreans on what people should think are we?:grr:

[AlCzervik]

21. Why does O'Reilly want to punish the troops?

[zbdent]

22. First thing, find out your local bookstore's policy on returns

then go and buy a shitload of his books ... just before the last day you can return the books ... return them.

That is, if it is less than the time that would be required to have O'Reilly send his copies to the troops ...

The books could not be sold by the book seller as "new" ...

[helderheid]

23. AMERICANS ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO TORTURE! n/t

[deadparrot]

24. I didn't know there was a need for doorstops and coasters in Iraq.

Hmm. Must get on that.

[CactusJock]

25. in the Unwanted Mail from Home Top Ten

that's got to rank right up there with a "dear john" letter

[cboy4]

26. Oh Mister I love the troops can't just ship over a ton of his

shitty books to the men and women who are dying for this country?

What has that terrible, lousy book been discounted to? About five bucks a copy?

And he has to set conditions on how these brave service people receive a copy?

What an ass hole.

For once, I agree with an Imus rant.

It really is outrageous.

[WI_DEM]

27. He'll do anything to get rid of that back stock of books that didn't sell!

even if they don't want it.
