Definitely No Spin here
Not content with sending Al Franken's new book to the top of the New York Times bestseller list for 4 weeks, Bill O' Reilly has done it again. In this interview with Time Magazine, he really reveals the parallel zone he lives in.
DO YOU REGRET PUSHING THE LAWSUIT AGAINST AL FRANKEN?
Not at all. This man is being run by some very powerful forces in this country, and we needed to confront it. I was ambushed at a book convention. He got up in front of a national audience and called me a liar for 20 minutes. President Andrew Jackson would have put a bullet between his eyes.
This coming from the part of the political spectrum that consistently pokes fun of a "vast right-wing conspiracy?" It would also be interesting to find out what O'Reilly's sources for the Andrew Jackson comment are. Boy, here's a guy who needs some advice on spin.
