If Bill O'Reilly isn't the biggest goddamn baby ever to fill a TV screen or an op-ed page, I'll just shit.
A few days ago, O'Reilly - who keeps calling himself a working-class champion - wrote a commentary that appeared in the right-wing Washington Times complaining about rich guys like himself having it too hard in life. I swear I am not making this up.
O'Reilly once authored a book titled 'Who's Looking Out For You?', in which he tried to pass himself off as a voice of the common person. But now his phony claims to populism have fallen to rack and ruin with his latest piece, in which he gripes about being in the top 1% income group. "I am part of the 1 percent of Americans that paid an astounding 40 percent of all federal income tax in 2006," he says.
O'Reilly cries that if Obama is elected President, he'll "take from the rich and give to the not-so-rich" by raising taxes on the very wealthy. He further complains that Obama and congressional Democrats will fund things like child care for poor families.
Is that the WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHmbulance I hear?
So much for (to borrow O'Reilly's book title) looking out for you, huh? O'Reilly is looking out only for the very rich such as his goofy self.
He grumbles that if Obama wins, he will take tax dollars of "me and other rich folks" to fund programs for people "who are too lazy to hold a job." Oh, you mean like that Republican contributor in Kentucky who got hired for a state patronage job and refused to answer phones so they just paid him to do nothing? What, that's not what O'Reilly meant?
Excuse me, Bill, for only working 60 hours a week (following years of health problems). Maybe if I'd work 100 hours instead, I might suddenly be able to live a life of caviar and bon-bons like O'Reilly here.
Only in BushAmerica can millionaires like Bill O'Reilly expect to be taken seriously while snuggling up in their mansions and pounding out psychotic rants about big, mean poor people having it too easy and taking their money.
You're a fucking BABY, Bill! Waaaaah waaaaah waaaaah!
Do you need you diaper changed, Bill? Or does the widdle baby want his rattle?

Tim! I don't expect you to feel sorry for anyone claiming to be in the top 1% income group, but don't lie to your readers and say you "work 60 hours a week." You don't have a job and you haven't tried to get one since Bush took office -- you said it yourself. You make a few dollars a day on ad clicks, but it's far less than minimum wage and you don't make enough to pay income taxes. If O'Reilly really is in the top 1% income group, he has every reason to complain that his taxes are too high. They are. Until you start paying taxes like the rest of us, you've no good reason to say otherwise.
ReplyDeleteHow is blogging any less legit than any other work? Writers don't work for free. Are we supposed to just do away with books, blogs, op-eds, and other forms of writing?
ReplyDeleteO'Reilly needs to grow up and quit complaining. He was born rich and has stayed rich his whole life.
By the way, my Department of the Interior job was after Bush seized power. You're damn lucky I didn't go on strike the day he took power and refuse to work until he left.
Incidentally, I do work about 60 hours a week. It's hard to write 4 entries a day, because I likely have dyslexia, and I didn't have the finest education.
ReplyDeleteIf you're content with what you get out of blogging 60 hours a week, more power to you. But it is folly to criticize someone who pays a LOT of taxes for saying they pay too much when you pay none.
ReplyDeleteYou feel sorry for Bill O'Really, Scheff?
ReplyDeleteBTW, KY has a 6% sales tax..Bandit pays it with every purchase as do I..Therefore he is paying taxes.
