With classes just starting back at college, I'm fairly busy but took time out to read this laughable article which makes Bill O'Reilly seem like the sincerely uncompassionate person he is. Oh, and take the poll as well.
(CNN) -- Three years after they jousted over a celebrity telethon that raised millions for 9/11 victims, Fox News' Bill O'Reilly and actor George Clooney are at it again, this time over what will happen to funds pledged in a telethon for tsunami victims.
In a letter sent by e-mail Monday, Clooney lashed out at the host of "The O'Reilly Factor," saying comments he made last week on his program will lead to lower contributions in Saturday's celebrity-driven telethon.
The caustic message from Clooney also challenges O'Reilly to serve as a presenter in the event.
"This is your chance to put your considerable money where your considerable mouth is," Clooney writes in the note sarcastically signed "Your fan."
Check out O'Reilly's pathetic reply to this challenge from Clooney below the fold.
It's quite obvious that when Bill O'Reilly speaks of the 'no-spin zone' on his show, it refers to an environment where he has total control of the conditions. His reply to Clooney:
On his show Monday night, O'Reilly responded, "That sounds good to me, but I have to see what the format is."
"Whether I can make a pitch or not depends on how organized things are," he said. "We have to be sure the situation is under control."
What the format is? How organized things are? Make sure the situation is under control?! There has been a relative measure of bipartisanship on this issue by the national leaders of the country. Is O'Reilly worried that someone might call in and, instead of making a donation, say something bad about him? Even those of us who despise the slimy worm that he is, we realize that a celebrity telethon is an opportunity to help out those in South Asia, not make an out-of-place attack on O'Reilly. Really, Bill, most of us have a brain, and certainly all of us have a heart. We're not called liberals for no good reason.
