Let me see if I can contextualize this:

Bush said he relied on the legal opinions written by indicted persons, and
waterboarding happened with reliance on the legal opinions.

Let me see if I can contextualize Dufus:

As an organ of a political party, O'Reilly thinks of himself as "the mouth,"
we think "big mouth" fits elephant in room and "pea brain" fits his discourse.

1. Thanks for speaking for 'all of America' to 'all of Spain' - (laughing at his antics)

When Bill O'Reilly looks into the camera and say 'yoo hoo, spain - listen here...' he obviously is losing touch
Oh wait, you have to be IN touch in the first place in order to lose it.

I stand corrected.

2. O'Reilly apparently thinks Spain's foolish for pressing war crimes charges against U.S. officials,
but the U.S. is perfectly within it's rights to determine what countries are worthy and what countries should be blown back to the Stone Age (i.e. - Iraq). It's that kind of arrogance that has led to resentment from other countries against the U.S.

3. Keep talking, Feith...
Go on every wingnut show and make public statements in your defense. The videotape may be useful to someone someday.

5. Wrong Mr. Feth, this isn't about "intimidating government officials"
it's about prosecuting criminal activity.

6. I could only watch half of that
O'Reilly is doing his usual spinning, Feith is doing his usual lying.

Mr. O'Reilly, you are insulting.

7. O'Liely is being the usual and deliberate hypocrit he is
He emphasized more than once that the Spanish lawyer had served time in prison, and criticized the NYT for omitting this information. Yet he himself omits that both Spain and the U.S. are signatories to the 1984 treaty against torture, and instead calls the case a "dog and pony show".

8. That Feith has defended himself on a TV shows....
... indicates something must be worrying him. Past catching up with you, Dougie?

9. Did he spend time in prison?
I've been reading up on this Spanish judge and I can't find anything on the net that suggests he ever went to prison.

11. I have looked at this also
and can find nothing on Baltasar Garzón ever even hinting at a criminal or civil wrong doing. I think KO needs to check this out.

10. Soooo
If you prosecute a Bush office official, O'Reilly doesn't come to your country ever again?

I'm so pressing charges tomorrow in my local court, there's always hope.

12. Fair and Balanced, Good Ole American Patriotism, ( and the party of GOD too )
O'Reilly thinks the Appalachian Mountains are still "pristine"... http://www.wisecountyissues.com

19. They export
Olive oil, figs, wine, cheese, dates, ceramic tile, ham, olives, sea salt, and hot actresses. Their largest export is cars, but they don't sell SEATs here.

16. Mr Feith has nothing to worryabout.....
If anyone bothers him, all he has to do is let Billo know.

Billo will personally boycott Spain, and the Spanish will suffer so much that they will beg the USA to take him back with their heartfelt apologies. That'll learn'em!

17. Bill, if you're not traveling to Spain unless Zapatero condemns the investigation...
...Zapatero is not going to. Thank you. You have just given him the best reason not to condemn it.

By the way, I consider Zapatero to be Europe's best head of state at this time.

18. To quote Gen Franks in re Feith
"I have to deal with the fucking stupidest guy on the planet almost every day."

20. I'm sure Spaniards are trembling in their boots at the prospect . . .
Of O'Reilly *not* coming to their country.

If we could just piss O'Reilly off enough -- say, by arresting Cheney -- do you think we could get him to leave the US? Oh wait, I forgot -- he's a phony sack of shit who spews bisch because they pay him to do so.

And he obviously doesn't understand what a diplomat means when he says "we can't comment," meaning specifically "eat my shorts, you shitstain."
