Bill O'Reilly is a major league weenie! You have to pay to e-mail him!

[BurtWorm]

I went to his site BillOReilly.com to tell him what a weenie he was for walking out on Terry Gross's interview. There's a little section on the home page that says Contact Center, but when you go there, you find e-mail addresses for organizations O'Reilly wants you to harrass, including French corporations, MoveOn.org and the ACLU, as well as some more warm and fuzzy contacts for orgs O'Reilly supports. So I went to FAQ, thinking one frequently asked question would be "How do I contact you?" No such luck, but at the bottom there was a link, saying, "Do you have a question you'd like to see answered here? Click HERE to email us!" When you get there, you see an e-mail form with this advisory at the top:

"This email service is only for customer issues relating to web site performance or product purchases.
If you have a question for Bill O'Reilly or his team, please visit here to send your inquiry. Due to the very high volume of email we receive, the "Ask Bill" service is only available to Premium Members of BillOReilly.com"

Of course when you clink on the link you get hit up for dough. So I went back to the "customer issues" area and sent this:



Dear Bill,

Why do I have to become a member to e-mail you? Are you afraid of free expression?


I should have added "Are you a weenie or just a greedy bastard?"

1. We already know the answer to that...he is terrified of free expression

You'll notice that most of Rush's website is also for those who can afford it. What was that about media elitism?

[no one in particular]

2. Got this from the FoxNews website.

Try oreilly-at-foxnews.com

Probably goes to some underling, but who knows?

3. I just heard the interview with Terry Gross

and her interview style wasn't anything new. He basically took issue with her over reading negative reviews. I think this was probably contrived because of the fox viewer ignorance story. Murdock is targeting npr, because npr's listeners came in first and his in last.

4. Weenie? Agreed...

I happen to catch moments of his show while channel surfing and it seems to me he is slowly, but surely losing his mind.

Last night, he talked about Joe Lieberman's economic policies and called it "Socialist." Lieberman a socialist?!!!

He was also talking about the "nasty attacks of left." (Translated: When you bring up (document) his lies and inaccurate statements it's a "nasty attack.") He was going on about how he was the "point man" for the left's attacks because Rush was out of the picture. That is about the time when I felt ill and quickly switched the station.

It's funny that he called Al Franken "delusional." Listening to him last night, he sounded like "Colonel Kurtz" from "Apocolypse Now."
