Bill O’Reilly Is An Idiot Whether Apologizes Or Not

Back in March, Bill O’Reilly had a contentious debate with Caroline Fredrickson, the president of the American Constitution Society, on the potential outcome of the Supreme Court’s hearing on ObamaCare. Ms. Fredrickson presciently predicted that the bill would be upheld as constitutional and even noted specifically that the justification would come from the Constitution’s taxing authority. However, O’Reilly disagreed and concluded the segment by saying this:

“Ms. Frederickson, you’re going to lose, and your argument is specious. We appreciate you coming on. But this is absolutely a mandate. It’s absolutely a force. It’s absolutely police powers from the federal government, and it’s going to be 5 to 4. And if I’m wrong I will come on, and I will play — I will play your clip. And I will apologize for being an idiot. But I think you’re desperately wrong.”

Last week, following the Court’s decision, O’Reilly was on vacation, but he did call into his program and spoke with guest host Laura Ingraham. He said nothing about himself having been so desperately wrong. Today he returned and brought up the the incident in March, however, he did not apologize. Just prior to a disingenuous pseudo-apology, he declared that he is “not really sorry,” which cancels out anything he said afterwards. You don’t get credit for an apology if you precede it by saying that you’re not really sorry.

Rather, O’Reilly spent several minutes blaming CNN’s Howard Kurtz and Media Matters for – well, I couldn’t really figure what he was blaming them for. Apparently they were somehow responsible for his being a complete moron, and therefore he had nothing for which to apologize. He alleged that Kurtz was empowering Media Matters in some respect, and that…

“Kurtz does the bidding of Media Matters, and, I don’t know, maybe I should just ignore that and, as you say, move along down the highway, but it certainly disturbs me a little bit.”

And that was it. No actual apology. No admission that he was an idiot. No integrity in keeping his word. Just an obvious and pathetic dodge. He pointed fingers at others who had nothing to do with any of this and pretended that he never made a spectacularly stupid promise in support of his ill-informed prediction. It was a display of dishonesty and cowardice that befits someone like – well, like Bill O’Reilly. So I thought I’d help Billo out by saying what he is to chickenshit to say:

Bill O'Reilly is a Sorry Idiot

I think that about covers it.

  1. Bill O’Reilly always talks like he is a person of integrity, morality and honesty. Anyone with a semblance of objectivity knows he is none of these things. In fact, he is the opposite of these things. He has no integrity, morality or honesty. He is a despicable blowhard and bully as he demonstrates on his show time and again but especially the night he had Fredrickson on. I used to watch him from time to time but can no longer bring myself to watch this self-serving ass. I hope Obama will not play ball with these blowhards from Fox when they are demanding he come on their shows because they claim they are a legitimate journalistic organization. They are nothing of the sort and should not be given any respect in that regard. I absolutely despies Bill O’Reilly.

  2. Who? Bill O’Riley? The latest incarnation of Paul Joseph Goebbels? Now, why in Heaven’s name would Barack Obama wish to appear on the Propaganda Channel aka Faux News,The John Birch Channel, etc, etc…and be interrogated by that goon? Gimme a break…
