You could say the same thing about Bill Cosby, but it only seems that way to us. To people like them their legacy does matter, their millions are something they’ve already been used to for years and already take for granted. All he can do now is join Tomi Lahren, Chris Christie and Rudy Guilliani on the “right wing assholes not having the 2017 they expected” club.
True, his ego will take a hit. But I’m not so sure it’s over for him. He might still have a radio presence or something going forward.
More than booting, Bill could testify against him in personal lawsuits.
Ok, ok already. Stake through the heart, decapitate, fill the mouth with garlic and sew shut with silver thread (you forgot that part!), bury the head at a crossroads at midnight, salt the bones and then burn them. Just to be safe we’d better mix the ashes with Holy Water, use the HW to mix cat food, and feed the cat food to Greebo*.

- *Before becoming human, Greebo once swallowed a vampire in the form of a bat. Vampires are resilient. They may have managed to rise (repeatedly) from the grave, to survive being sealed in a glass bottle in vapour form (and then thrown into the sea), to be powdered to dust and restored by the merest drop of b-vord… but if this vampire should manage to rise from the cat, the normal action of biology and digestion means this only is the start of its troubles… *

This will be a major bummer for my 88-year-old dad, at least until Bill re-surfaces on the Trump Television Network a few years hence.
I’ve merged two threads about O’Reilly getting the boot.
He can probably get a spot on Alex Jones show as “The Voice of Moderation”.

Well, it was an experiment, and owes greatly to Stephen Colbert’s “The Word”, itself a parody of O’Reilly’s “Talking Points Memo”.
The side comment on CFL bulbs is juxtaposed with a comment on “more heat than light”, a common complaint about the inefficiency of incandescent bulbs.
My failure to come up with a funnier parody gives me increased respect for professional comedy writers.
I thank you for the comment of respect, in any event, and will endeavor to do better in future.
Jones and O’Reilly, the new Hannity and Colmes
There should be a note to the side saying I’LL SHOW THEM! I’LL SHOW THEM ALL!
They’ll do it LIVE.
Right and Alt-Right.
Fuck it! I’ll write it myself and we’ll do it live! Fucking thing sucks!
Props to O’Reilly for his legendary outburst, but he is still second best to my man Orson Welles. Only he knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men: “Here under protest is ‘beef burgers.’ ‘We know a little place in the American Far West, where Charlie Briggs chops up the finest prairie-fed beef and tastes…’ This is a lot of shit, you know that? You want one more?”

But in his day, he was the finest voice for the regular people.
He was the greatest common factor.
Now he’s primed for the next stage of his life.

I’ll see your Orson Welles and raise you a Buddy Rich.
Whew. I thought I was losing my mind.
The two aren’t mutually exclusive, you know.
I’d seen the almost perfect recreation by The Brain on the Animaniacs first, and was hilarious then, and only more so when I found out the rant was real. And that “I’ll make cheese for you” was really “I’ll go down on you”.
Having a slight conservative (economically) being libertarian, even I am glad to see him go. He seems the type to say “Let me pat you on ass sweetheart” to a waitress and then go home and beat his kids before he sits down to a scotch and diet rite. Evil old man.
Here he comes spinning out of the turn…!
(The Buddy Rich one is some fierce competition.) I give you former Chicago Cubs manager Lee Elia speaking politely with the press.
This? This is a sign that you belong here.
