Bill O'reilly & The Colbert Report...











O'Reilly thinks the Colbert Report is "a compliment".........
One reason Colbert gets away with being outrageous is that, unlike, say, Ali G, he's not looking to humiliate anyone. Colbert always comes off looking like the biggest buffoon. "The key to the whole thing is Stephen wearing the character loosely and showing the inherent decency of the man underneath," says Stewart, who is also an executive producer of Colbert's show. "If you created a character where the audience had to sit back and go, 'Is this man a monster?' you would lose interest." Even Colbert's most obvious targets don't mind being mocked. "He does it without being mean-spirited, which is a refreshing change," says Fox News anchor O'Reilly. "Ninety percent of them are just vicious and they use their platform to injure people, but it doesn't seem that Colbert does that." Does he see himself in Colbert's character? "Yeah, sure," O'Reilly says. "The formula of his program is, they watch the 'Factor' and they seize upon certain themes that work for him. He ought to be sending me a check every week, 'cause we're basically the research for his writers. I feel it's a compliment."
(From the Huffington Post)

Obviously, Bill O'stupid has no idea that parody isn't necessarily the highest form of flattery. Stephen Colbert's The Report (pronounced repore....why? cause he can...) is must see TV. It is a good chaser to the Daily Show, which always seems to leave you wanting more. Stephen has the self-absorbed, narcissistic O'Reilly down to an art form. In the comment section of the Huff Po, someone wrote:
If O'Reilly thinks the Colbert Report compliments him, he'd probably think getting castrated was foreplay.And how much would you pay to see O'Reilly getting castrated? That would make a GREAT Super Bowl halftime show."
Classic.
Peace Ya'll.....

Back atcha, Shelly. I guess the silent letter t's are because of his name and the whole anti-French thing. Or at least I remember something about that.
