Fox News Channel's star talk-show personality, Bill O'Reilly, says he is uncomfortable with the practice of outing gay political figures--except, it seems, when he is doing the outing.

On his show Monday night, O'Reilly chastised guest Michael Rogers for maintaining a Web site publicizing the names of gay staffers working for politicians who oppose gay marriage.

"We're uneasy with this kind of exposition," O'Reilly said. "Somebody's personal sex life should have nothing to do with any kind of a policy."

But on the same show--and for at least the third time in the last year--O'Reilly described one of the justices on the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court as a lesbian, a claim that the justice herself, through a spokeswoman, denies.

Though, due to the logarithmic expansion of media outlet, we have MANY more than one Streicher here in Imperial Amerika.

11. I saw where he was talking about the judge

He kept asking the guy he was interviewing if he thought it was relevant that one of the judges in the MA case was a lesbian. The guy told him I didn't look into that as it wasn't legally relevant, but Bill wouldn't let it go, and kept saying that it was relevant and how could this legal expert know anything about the case if he didn't know that?

10. There's just something about O'Reilly...

that makes me think he has some severe mental health problems.

The rest of the talk radio shills seem to know they are shills, and have no problem with it. Seem perfectly happy with the idea, which is as it should be. They know it's all a game.

O'Reilly, and maybe also Novack, actually seem to believe that they are neutral journalists. That is scary.

12. God I hate him

"Somebody's personal sex life should have nothing to do with any kind of a policy."*

*Except when it's Bill Clinton's sex life, in which case it has everything to do with a policy.

13. Doesn't personal sex life also equate to same-sex marriages also?

14. Go fuck yourself, O'Reilly

You self-important little pig turd of a man.
