The O'Reilly Spectrum


Crooks and Liars has a story about the ever ridiculous Bill O'Reilly smearing beloved community journalist Stephen Rogers who died in November at the age of ninety. Pictured at right is Bill O'Reilly dancing on Stephen Roger's grave--it's necessarily an artist's conception because O'Reilly still doesn't seem to realize the man is dead.

How did the distinguished Mr. Rogers incur the wrath of the marginal mediocrity? He fell on the wrong side of the O'Reilly spectrum. Goes like this: as the center of the universe O'Reilly believes he's the very picture of reasoned calm and moderation:
  1. Generally anyone who disagrees with him: far-left
  2. Exception being if the above person is conservative, in which case they're far-far right.
  3. Fact checkers are invariably far-far left
  4. Anyone who mentions his humiliating sexual harassment scandal: far-far-left-wacko-smear merchant.

To his great credit, the late Mr.Rogers was a #4. As one who spoke truth to irrelevance, he'll be missed.
