What would we do without Bill O'Reily?

If I haven’t said it before, let me say it now: Bill O’Reily is a jackass.

And that probably won’t be the first time I say it, either.

O’Reily’s most recent attack on Michael Jackson, just 24 hrs after his memorial at The Staples Center, is just another one of the many examples (anyone remember Marilyn Manson?) that O’Reily has used to feast upon the court of public opinion since the inception of his career in star studded incompetent journalism 101.

O’Reily blasts Jackson as “no black icon” and continues to pour salt on a global wound by proclaiming Jackson as selfish for spending millions of dollars on himself. O’Reily attempts to downplay all the charitable contributions Jackson made over his 50 year life and all the people he touched or inspired to get up in the morning and vow to become a better person.

Since when is it wrong to spend YOUR OWN MONEY on something you want? Obviously, Bill, if you make more, you're going to spend more. We aren't tackling the Theory of Relativity here, you bozo.

You're really reaching for stars, my friend. Is the network putting that much pressure on you to come up with the next big scoop that all you can think of to be "opinionated" about is a man's spending habits? Last time I checked you weren't living in Harlem or shopping at a thrift store.

I can’t say I’m surprised. O’Reily is another blowhard who is living a life of riches by stirring up controversy whenever an opportunity presents itself. This ass clown needs ratings. It’s a numbers game with O’Reily and all the networks that do not see the death of a human being as sympathetic gesture to those who are mourning, but rather a chance to turn in more of a profit than the week prior.

Is that you’re contribution to this world O’Reily? A watered down opinion programmed by the suits? Or is it one of those shit-filled ‘books’ you drop every year proclaiming your greatness as an American?

Michael Jackson is an icon, period. There is no black or white attached. He was a good person who had some turbulent times in his life like all of us, but in the end he accomplished more good in his life than most men will ever imagine.

Including you, Bill.

I could turn this into pages and pages of information exposing O’Reily for all the past mistakes he made, but I refuse to stoop to his level. Do us all a favor Bill: Let Michael Jackson Rest.

Let his family mourn.

Let his children cope.

Because, believe it or not, The Greatest Entertainer in the World didn’t need you while he was alive.

And he sure as hell doesn’t need you in death.

Oh, that goes for you too, Peter King.
