FOX News has ousted Bill O\u2019Reilly, the smug, smur-king of evening talk-TV for more than a decade for issues relating to sexual harassment of female employees. The rumors had floated about for years that the supercilious O\u2019Reilly was as big a jerk behind the scenes as he all too frequently was while on camera, allegedly hitting on female employees for sexual favors for much of the time he was a FOX ratings king. The pushy, public persona presented on television made such rumors difficult to disbelieve, leading Ol\u2019 Poe to believe that this day of reckoning was simply a matter of time: another arrogant fool brought to an ignominious fate by thinking with his little head rather than the oversized one O\u2019Reilly possesses. Somehow, to this age- seasoned Scots-Irishman, the term \u201cBig Dumb Mick,\u201d seems to fit quite well here.<\/p>\n
Big Bill has his viewers, assuredly, me being one of \u2018em sometimes, but it was always a challenge to get through an entire show without having to be constrained from throwing a drink glass at the tube when the overbearing Son of Hibernia haughtily talked over some guest expert, informing them that they didn\u2019t know what they were talking about within their own field of expertise because he, O\u2019Reilly, knew better; or to stay in the room when he began another shameless shilling session of his popular but poorly-written books. There\u2019s not another Irishmen alive that Ol\u2019 Poe has called a sorry ass son of a bitch more times than Bill O\u2019Reilly.<\/p>\n
O\u2019Reilly\u2019s demise is a victory for the libs who threatened his advertisers with boycotts when talk of his sexual harassment activities began to become more publicly discussed. They have unseated the king, no question. But it\u2019s going to be a Pyrrhic victory for them because FOX has already announced that O\u2019Reilly\u2019s replacement is the far more likable and far better informed talk show host, Tucker Carlson. While O\u2019Reilly treated both friendly and hostile guests with contempt, Carlson saves his devastating verbal flayings for those cocky liberals who try to treat him and all conservatism with contempt. Carlson\u2019s far more politically intuitive as well as being far more entertaining.
\nBut in spite of all that, you know, I\u2019m really going to….<\/p>\n
Heh, bet you thought Ol\u2019 Poe was gonna say he\u2019s gonna miss the jerk. Nope, he\u2019s just another pompous prick done in by his little prick.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
