Planet Wingnut News for Monday



Bill O'Reilly calls Howard Dean a 'pinhead' for eschewing Fox; roll the Jeremy Glick tape, please

Bill O'Reilly -- who likes at other times to dish out lectures on name-calling and civility in our discourse -- named Howard Dean his nightly "Pinhead" on Friday because Dean said this:
Dean: One of the reasons I don't go on Bill O'Reilly's show -- the only reason I don't go on Bill O'Reilly's show -- is because I saw him take apart a 23-year-old who had lost his father in the World Trade Center and tell him he was unpatriotic because he didn't support the war. Those kinds of people I don't hang around. Because they're not good for the country, and they're not good for -- they're not good human beings.
The Loofah Master was outraged at this, of course:
O'Reilly: Well, it's a complete lie. A gross distortion. The guy Dean is referring to blamed the United States for 9/11. It had nothing to do with any war. OK? He blamed the USA for the 9/11 attack, and I did take him apart.
