Since I’m the only non-right wing conservative republican I know who actually watches Fox News channel, I figured I’d be your eyes and ears for the stupid shit they say there. I actually watch Fox for most of the day, and much of the night so the amount of stupid shit I am exposed to really is amazing. So much so that I figured I’d only chime in when the shit they say is REALLY stupid, as with the stupid shit I heard yesterday, not surprisingly, from the mouth of Bill “Oaf” Reilly.
Oaf Reilly was talking about President Bush’s Farewell Address and gushing over how great it was, and how Bush had the country’s best interest in mind, and how he kept us safe etc.

“It’ll be interesting to see,” he opined, “how the Left wing loony Bush haters will spin this tomorrow because decent people – and all the polls show this – like President Bush.”

Let’s look at that sentence again and marvel at it’s utter stupidity and gall. (I have rearranged the quote for clarity).

All the polls show that decent people like President Bush.

Wow! All the polls? Really? So, since Prez Bush’s approval rating is at 27 percent, is “Oaf” Reilly saying that only 27 percent of the country is decent?

Furthermore, who are these poll takers that are deciding who are the “decent” poll responders, and which are the, um, indecent ones?

Perhaps these polls to which he is referring have a question on the bottom that says, “Are you a decent person? Please check yes or no.”

And who are these people that check “no”?

To me, this quote goes to the very heart of what’s wrong with Bill “Oaf” Reilly, what’s wrong with Fox News as an institution, and what was wrong with this administration – a complete disregard for facts, common sense and a view of the world through the thickest of ideological lenses.
