Mountains out of molehills - A Faux News exclusive!
Mountains out of molehills and apples, oranges and strawmen too.
If Henry the VIII had asked for a video IPOD as a gift, and hadn't gotten it, there would have been hell to pay.
The total control that previous kings exerted is not equivalent to the limited power that Queen Elizabeth really has.
It was just a way for Bill to mock the First Lady and then throw in a jab at MSNBC too.
And did you notice that Major Garrett acted like he was agreeing with Bill when in fact he was actually debunking what O'Reilly had just gotten done ranting about? Pathetic.
Is it because ipods would have been seen as wizardly?
Is because Henry VIII didn't want the masses to have speaky things available to them?
someone PLEASE explain how O'Really came up with this brilliant deduction.
Just an idea, but maybe when the twins gave Dubya an ipod, O'Reilly got mad because if you did something like that in the era of King George, you'd start a war of independence and ally with the French and who knows what else.
Make sense?
Let's see ... what would have been on Henry VIII's iPod??
1. Time-Life's Best of the Renaissance
2. Famous speeches of Lionardo DaVinnci
3. Shakespeare's top 10 poems
That's brilliant.
HR VIII Ipod continued:
Head Over Heels -- Under My Thumb -- Biggest Elizabeth in the World (Roches) -- I Wanna Push You Around -- Falling in Love is Falling In Love with Fairytales -- Camelot!
Nice flip-flop there, B.O.R. An outrage! A disgrace to royalty! No, she asked for it. Oh, then it's a great idea!
Pretty sure being a pundit back during Henry the VIII's time would have gotten you beheaded too.
When I think of Bill-doe and a guillotine..
I...I...I...
I DREAM!!
Just kidding Billy, I love your show...
When it's just you, doing your best Ted Baxter impersonation--there's nothing better on television.
All the best, Bill.
Since King Henry didn't tolerate fools Oliar probably would be in the Tower of London

I watched the video clip, and there must have been more to this slimy rat o'reilly's television show this evening, than what was in the clip.
Did he and the Fox hack in London have any opportunity to discuss at all the substance of the G20 meetings?
I mean, those meetings are over, and the summit is concluded, and a communique has been issued, declaring the allied objectives of the nations that comprise the G20, in addressing this wicked global recession...
Did the slimy rat o'reilly, and the Fox hack in London, find any chance to discuss this important matter?
Or was there time for nothing other than iPods and being familiar with the Queen and what did Mrs. Obama wear...
Seriously, I just do not understand what O'Reilly is ranting about.
"Standards of informality"? After Bush???
Just what is wrong with an Ipod? On what planet would that be considered offensive?
Actually, just being Roman Catholic in Henry's time was a tad risky.
Do you suppose Billo would have spoken as passionately and eloquently when sentenced to death as Thomas More? Har.
From,"...something that would have gotten you beheaded," to, "I think it's a great gift." That proves the formula:Think quick, lie fast.
No comment is necessary, and not for the first or last time when it comes to these buffoons. Their idiocy speaks for itself, completely.
Ack.
"Brink me the head of this man Jobs!"
"Brink me the head of this man Jobs!"
I've got news for Bill-o, if Ipods had been around in Henry VIII's time, he would have beheaded anybody standing in front of him in line when those things first came out. He would have had the very first one--or else!
Historically, royalty was the first to get the latest thing--in Henry VIII's time, it was the tomato--so it's surprising that Queen Elizabeth is just now getting an Ipod.
