"President Bush fired the guy, the former chef, for serving scallops. I'm thinking, well, gosh, is this the guy he should be firing? What about those guys who got us into Iraq? Why didn't he fire those guys?"

-- David Letterman 01/03/06

In the recent late-night scuffle twixt 'Sheehan-defending' Letterman and 'Sheehan-bashing' O'Reilly, a particularly disturbing accusation was made by the scurvy one -- a charge that should burn the senses of all who hold the capacity to think beyond the scope of "your either with us or against us." O'Reilly said:

"The soldiers and Marines are noble. They're not terrorists. And when people call them that, like Cindy Sheehan called the insurgents 'freedom fighters', we don't like that."

O'Reilly makes two detestable implications. 1) That Cindy Sheehan and 'people' like her consider our troops terrorists, and 2) That Cindy Sheehan and 'people' like her consider the insurgents the real 'freedom fighters' -- even favoring insurgents over our own troops.

What filth! Of course I can't speak for Cindy any more than Bill O'Reilly can, but I think it's safe to assume that O'Reilly's implications were of the purest quality horseshit that any horse's ass could offer -- and one certainly did.
