Fun With Schmucks
|
"Oh. Oh, I see. Running away, eh? You yellow bastard! Come back here and take what's coming to you. I'll bite your legs off! Ann Coulter lies, I tell you, lies!" This must have been fun. Al Franken and Bill O'Reilly were on the same Saturday Book and Author Luncheon panel covered live by C-Span2. Franken was pushing his upcoming Book, "Cats Like Having Sex With Humans," - just kidding. His book will be titled "Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right." Just precious. O'Reilly was trying to sell his upcoming, "How Did You Survive Before Me, " - just kidding again. It's "Who's Looking Out for You Now?," (It had better be your own self, but I don't think that's Bill's pick). |

Anyway, a fight broke out between the two. Punches were not thrown, but evidently it was close. Here's the only coverage I could find. Even C-Span pulled it from their archives. I actually like this kind of thing. Both are passionate about their politics, except O'Reilly does his damnedest to appear neutral. Maybe he really is. Franken, on the other hand, makes no bones about being a left-wing ideologue, and he really is a funny guy which adds to his appeal in some quarters. Anyway this was real, unlike all that phony comity stuff you get on Meet the Press (I'm glad to see my good friend Sen. Kennedy, whom I last saw crawling in a Georgetown gutter, is able to be with us today."). I know that if I found myself talking with Franken, I'd almost certainly - at some point - punch him in the nose. I couldn't stop myself, which is why I keep turning down all those invites to host a talk show. Neither one of these guys is a pussy, and I'd enjoy seeing them beat the shit out of each other. I think, in the end, Franken would die since I figure he's about 5'-2", being from Hollywood and all, and O'Reilly is a pretty big guy. Stay tuned. |
I loved O'Reilly's comment on last nights The O'Reilly Factor.
"If that happened 200 years ago, there would have been a dual, and trust me, he [Franken] would have lost."
Man, wouldn't that be something to see :-)
Oh, BTW I'd give Franken a Musket and O'Reilly one of these ;-)
Hell, if you're giving those away, gimme one.
