News is breaking the Billy Boob is taking time off to be with his lawyers. Though no official announcement has been made, hopeful speculation has it that he has bitten the green weenie, and swallowed the bag. With the personality of a rattlesnake, albeit lacking the warmth, he was an American institution for loathe, these many years. But after many a bummer dies the swine, life is change, how it differs from the rocks.

Our sympathy for his family, who have a difficult road ahead, as we hope they can accept the Lord’s wisdom in Bill’s tragically extended life. We must adjust that darkness has lost a friend, and lies have lost a poet.

And finally, fuck you, Bill. So very, very much. We will not forget soon, or at least not soon enough.

Resulting, I assume, in another lawsuit.

O’Rielly says he’s taking a vacation that he planned last fall. Now, would O’Rielly lie to you?

I kinda wonder where assholes like O’Reilly go for vacation. It must be someplace pretty damned secluded. If he showed up in a bar or restaurant someplace like Bar Harbor or Lake Tahoe there’d be lines forming of people who want to throw their drink in his face.

I was gonna say, “Holy shit, NOOOOOOO!” But then I realized you could _quadruple_ his airtime and I still would be exposed to just as much of him as I am now.

There’s a bit of O’Reilly’s audiobook reading of a “sex scene” from _Those Who Trespass_. I will forever hold that against you.

ETA: I posted before the Catheter Cowboy. I would almost think about possibly considering to partially retract a portion of my disdain - maybe - based on that small segment.

Maybe O’Reilly can get his old job back at _Inside Edition_.

After reading the thread title I was ☹ to learn that it was sarcasm, because I think Bill has a nice smirk.

I hope this costs him a fuck ton of money and public humiliations galore.

Fuck you Bill-O. Fuck you very much.
