MOUTH OVER MUTTER
BILL O'REILLY of
Fox Entertainment
News Org.,
For getting himself into a 'verbal pissing match' with virtually the entire black culture in America (and it's millions of assorted allies) about a perfectly nonsensical topic that he leapt into without looking and then hadn't the ingenuity or courage to climb out of gracefully.
He said some amazingly patronizing things about black people, how they eat and how they behave in restaurants. This he meant to be complimentary, for God's sake!
When you're used to shooting from the lip and you get paid for off-the-cuff remarks about a hundred topics daily, you might make a blunder. Especially if you're a professional, congenital and practiced pompous gasbag.
So, if Bill is NOT a racist as he claims, and if he did NOT mean to say condescending things, and if he really isn't subconsciously boorish, then what should he have done to patch things up?
A bad choice would be to claim that he was being smeared, that he did not say what video tape shows he said, that he was taken out of context when he wasn't, and that the attack on him was orchestrated by his competitors. Yadda-yadda-yadda. BUT, that's the choice he made.
Bill: You're a blowhard worse than me, and you're most definitely a serial idiot. So, buster, we proudly name you WACKO OF THE WEEK.

NOTES:
1. This was a very bad week for our selection committee, because there were so very many excellent nominees for the position. I mean, Ahmaddinkwad came to our country and practically begged for the honor of being Wacko of the Week.
2.And then there was Bush talking about the welfare of "childrens" all the while he announced his plan to veto health care for them. And promoting the candidacy of Hillary Clinton. And a few other things.
3. And this guy, who The Daily Tribune identified as Jason Paul Gonzalez (absolutely no relation to anyone we know) CLICK FOR STORY
who is MOST DEFINITELY a sentimental favorite. He is a teenager who "heard" that the lady across the street was a prostitute, so he got a snoot full of alcohol, crawled through her window and fell asleep naked in her bed awaiting her arrival home. Thus posed, he was shaken into awareness by the police when the lady turned out to be not interested.
In front of a judge, he admits it all. Ahh, the impulsiveness of horny youth!
