  •  nephew (none / 0)

    IIRC, when O'Reilly was on TDS last month, he said his nephew was going to enlist soon and was eager to serve in Iraq.  Like that would get him cred for sending his kin off to die for a cause he believe in.  He refused to discuss whether he had children or not.

      Do you have the follow up on whether he really did enlist?  O'Leilly got his name for a reason and he'd use his grandmother if he thought it would work to further his nasty thoughts.

      •  good point (none / 0)

        I did some googling and found the ref.  I had slightly misremembered - it was when Donohue was on The O'Reilly Factor when O'Reilly said his nephew just enlisted. Comments on other blogs state that O'Reilly is an only child, so at best it would be the son of a sibling of his wife. Who knows, Bill and the purported nephew could be quite close. Still no confirmation of the claim however. Not that it's all that important anyway.
