Now this is how editorials should be written!

Abraham Lincoln did not shoot John Wilkes Booth. The Titanic did not sink a north Atlantic iceberg. And FOX News is neither fair nor balanced. These are facts intelligible to all adults, most children, and some of your more discerning domesticated animals. But not, as the third story on the Countdown proves yet again, not to Bill-O. The guilty pleasure offered by the existence of Bill O'Reilly is simple but understandable. 99 times out of 100, when we belly up to the Bill-O bar of bluster, nearly every time we partake of the movable falafel feast, he serves us nothing but comedy, farce, slapstick, unconscious self-mutilation, the Sideshow Bob of commentators forever stepping on the same rake, forever muttering the same grunted, inarticulate surrender, forever resuming the circle that will take him back to the same rake. The Sisyphus of morons, if you will. But this is the 100th time out of 100. It is not funny at all.

Listen to it all!

I spent several hours in a hospital ER this weekend, where the TV was set to Fox News, and I thought I would lose my mind.

I have to appreciate O'Reilly's error for one reason: it prompted this editorial, and the story he tells in it. It's not one that I'd heard before.

But my god, what a farce.
