O’Really is a lot like Palin in many ways. He too has seen Russia from his window, because 1) he has a picture of Russia and, 2) he has a picture of a window.
That’s what you call ‘Palinesque’.

And of course looking at photos of shootings and mayhem is a truly unique experience that only a courageous few undertake. Thank you for your service to journalism, Billy.

Kent Brockman is more real than this clown.
Kent Brockman: Thanks, Mayor Simpson! From now on, we’ll all be taking golden showers.
[muffled laughter is heard in the background]
Kent Brockman: What?

Brian Williams has to be watching the O’Reilly scandal play out with great interest. If Billo should survive this, and I think he will because he is a shameless hack, might we see Williams back in six months?

He didn’t see it, but he DID see pictures of it.
But he’s NOT a liar, FOX news simply wants you all to know that.

Has this guy EVER told the truth about ANYTHING he has done?

If they caught O’Really? in a bath house full of altar boys, Ailes would still stand by him, because O’Really? is Tealiban-speak for “ka-ching.”

Right. Fox translation: Billy’s an ass, but he’s our ass and the ass you all love.

This is what I want to hear Fox say- that is, run through the one or two stories he did NOT see as it happened but reported truthfully.
I saw photos of Tiananmen Square during the uprising. I’d like to get hired at Fox News for $11M/year too!

He is never known to quail at the fury of a gale, and he’s never, never sick at sea. (What, never?) No, never! (What, never?) Well, hardly ever.

I saw Kennedy get shot.
I saw General Lee at Appomattox.
I saw the Boston marathon bombing.
Ok, so I really didn’t, I just saw pictures of them. Same thing.
That was too easy.

Whether what O’Reilly said is a lie, a deliberate misrepresentation, or a “shading of the truth,” no matter what, it is shitty journalism. And, if it’s in a book and goes through the usual review and editing, it is a knowingly false. Shame on him!

O’Reilly saw photos of dead nuns AND bombs in Ireland? Wow. Credit where credit’s due, the man is a warrior. Next thing you know, we’ll hear he sat through “Nightmare on Elm Street” from beginning to end.

O’Reilly did not do all these things he claimed he did but he did stay at a Holiday Inn where all these events like the Falkland Islands War, nuns being killed in El Salvador, the Rodney King riots were probably shown at one time or another as documentaries on the hotel’s cable TV system.

I saw Lincoln give his Second Inaugural. Very moving. It’s creepy that I didn’t notice John Wilkes Booth but I saw him there in the crowd.
On the upside, my sex life turns out to have been a lot more eventful than I thought it was.

Fox Not Really News now has a form stowed in the main computer: “O’Reilly Didn’t See Bombings in ____________________, But He Saw Photos Of Them”
Easier on the secretaries to just add the name of the country.

Wow! Using O’Reilly standards, I can now tell my nephews I witnessed the Blitz.
