ebonlockHoly christ I wish I'd seen this live:
O'Reilly sweep: Olbermann gives O'Reilly bronze, silver, and gold medals for "Worst Person in the World"
From the November 30 edition of MSNBC's Countdown with Keith Olbermann:
KEITH OLBERMANN (host): But first, time for Countdown's list of today's three nominees for the coveted title of "Worst Person in the World."
The bronze goes to Bill O'Reilly. He has solidified in his status as this generation's Joe McCarthy. Just like the "Red Baiter," he now has his own list. His website reads: "The following media operations have regularly helped distribute defamation and false information supplied by far left Web sites." The list: the New York Daily News, the St. Petersburg Times, and MSNBC! You call it defamation, Bill. We call it precise quotes from your show.
The runner-up: Bill O'Reilly. On the Today show, no less. Now how the hell did that happen? Says, quote, "These pinheads running around going, 'Get out of Iraq now,' don't know what they're talking about. These are the same people before Hitler invaded in World War II that were saying, 'Ah, he's not such a bad guy.' " Watch. That will turn up tomorrow on his list of defamations.
But tonight's winner: Bill O'Reilly! You know this whole attack on Christmas nonsense that he made up? Some sort of fantasy in which the liberals are coming to your town to force you and your family to not call it Christmas anymore? The fantasy that we can't say "Merry Christmas," but you can only say "Happy Holidays"? The thing designed to stir up religious hatred and paranoia in this country? Guess what they're selling over at the Fox News online store? The Fox News "Holiday" ornament! And the O'Reilly Factor "Holiday" ornament. Who is trying to change "Merry Christmas" into "Happy Holidays"? Bill O'Reilly, that's who. Today's worst person in the world!
Dear Mr. Olbermann;
Should you ever desire love kittens you can count on me to produce them for you.
Much love,
Ellie
EDIT: Hahahahahaha!
Somebody had a Hissy Fit!!!
Yesterday we all got a good laugh at this generation's Joe McCarthy and the fact that FoxNews was selling "Holiday" ornaments, and NOT Christmas ones. This was especially hilarious considering that O'Reilly has been going around echoing albino freak Jon Gibson's fake line of "The War on Christmas" of which wishing people "Happy Holidays" is example number one.
Well, all I can say is I feel bad for the FoxNews website guy because I have a feeling somebody was screamed at until O'Reilly passed out with rage. And today it states:
THE O'REILLY FACTOR CHRISTMAS ORNAMENT
The Problem is...underneath it still says:
Put your holiday tree in "The No Spin Zone" with this silver glass "O'Reilly Factor" ornament. Metal cap and hoop for hanging. Made in the USA.
So how many times in your life have you referred to that pine or pine facsimile as a "Holiday" tree?
Nice panic job FoxNews.
UPDATE: Apparently, it is possible that some FoxNews web team member reads this blog (in which case tell Roger Aisles to take a flyin' leap!) or Atrios' comments because now it says "Christmas Tree".
But they cannot change what the link says.

I'm going to amuse myself all day with the mental vision of an apoplectic Bill O'Reilly.

I myself was wondering...
