If O'Reilly sends enough books, soldiers can finally have a way of armoring their Humvees.
I have a better idea. For every book sold O'Reilly should donate one square centimeter of his skin to burn units for injured soldiers. When all his skin is used up he should then send one organ per book until only his brain remains and that should be sliced up, grilled and put on top of a ceaser salad and given to Rush Limbaugh for dinner.
"Stick to making dirty calls to the help, Bill."
Seriously though, isn't Imus starting to look downright Mephistotilian?? And he has a lot of nerve barking at other broadcasters about hawking their wares, however "repugnant" the context.
The problem is not that O'Reilly is hawking his wares. The problem is that he's proposing this idiotic PR scheme as if it's a "patriotic" thing to do, as if he's somehow "supporting the troops" (whatever the hell that's supposed to mean).
That's what we call "irony".
OK, this is digusting and O'Reilly is a fool, but I've never understood why this incoherent guy Imus is on the airwaves. And what of this trend of radio shows becoming TV shows? It's a little ridiculous.
Imus may be a doofus rambler, but at least when he calls B.S., it's actually B.S. O'Reilly calls anything he doesn't like politically B.S. while willfully ignoring the B.S. on his own side.
No shit, Schmendrick. That's why I ended with "..however repugnant the context." Unlike you, Imus got that the faux patriotism was a cover to sell books.
