A little background: This week on O'Reilly's talk show, the obnoxious blowhard responded to a caller disparaging Michelle Obama's feelings about this country by saying: "'And I don't want to go on a lynching party against Michelle Obama unless there's evidence, hard facts, that say this is how the woman really feels. If that's how she really feels — that is a bad country or a flawed nation, whatever — then that's legit. We'll track it down.'

As badly as Imus was treated for absentmindedly using a phrase he thought sounded funny (he's just an old man trying to sound hip), you'd think someone would be up in arms over this, but you'd be wrong. The only person I've heard speaking out against O'Reilly's ignorance and obvious poor breeding was Star Jones, failed talk show host and beard. Star really rips O'Reilly a new spleen; to check out her open letter (posted on Perez Hilton), click here. I'm not sure if this is a publicity stunt for Star; she's got a lot of time on her hands these days.

So ... why isn't Bill being called out and reprimanded for his douchery? It's actually very simple. Nobody listens to his show, so no one heard it. And no one would miss it if it was canceled. They should fire him and send him back under the rock he crawled out from under. He is a despicable, mean-spirited man who says incredibly offensive things to get publicity.

A more fitting punishment would be to lock him in a room with Star for 15 minutes. She would rip out his spleen and feed it to that little dog she's always carrying around. That thing may look cute, but her teeth are razor sharp. The dog, I mean. I think.
