Mr. O'Reilly's Three W's

Anti-LouWhoVille



There are five W's in the journalism game.

And, according to Keith Olbermann and MediaMatters, the malevolent modern version of Ted Baxter, Bill O'Reilly, uses only three of them.

But like a cheap holiday bauble O'Reilly and his organ grinder, FOX News, can't even use the real thing when they fall 40% short of a full load.

Because instead of Who, What, Why, Where and When (and sometimes even hoW) Mr. O'Reilly's W's are actually Worse, Worser and Worstest.

(T)ime 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........

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.' ".......

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!



The Horror!

Thanks to MackJohnny, the poet laureate of Maritime Seamheads for putting the temporal back in our 5(+) W's.
