Bill O’Reilly Has Absolutely No Idea What The Public Option Is

by Juli Weiner  12:28 pm September 18, 2009

It begins thusly: Bill O’Reilly announces that it is a good thing the public option is dead, because now the President can work on making sure the government will start to provide cost-effective, reliable health care for people who cannot afford private insurance. And then some gal from the Heritage Foundation is like, “Hmm, are you sure, Bill, that you want this? Because what you just described, it seems like something you don’t want.” It is at this point that O’Reilly realizes he has LITERALLY just said he loves communism. Ha ha, whatever though, because he 100% covers his tracks by assuring this sinister woman that he personally doesn’t want a bunch of socialists ordering him to retroactively abort the seniors in his family—Christ no—but he thinks that this might be good like for poor people.

If they just renamed it “O’Reillycare” I’m sure everybody’d vote for it and we’d be done by next tuesday. Because really, everybody wants this – the wingnuts just don’t want it if it has Obama’s name on it.

lulz, wut?????

He’s more interested in the falafel option.

He’s just trying to get Barry over to Fox on Sunday morning.

memzilla September 18, 2009 at 12:35 pm

So, he’s in favor of a marketplace where Socializm can be sold? I haz a confuze.

@ 0:29 Billo looks to notes for help with her name and muffs it into his wrist. Do it live, fucko!

(I think I’ve seen her on Extreme Ultra Office Porn as well.)

user-of-owls September 18, 2009 at 12:36 pm

Bill, this is why doing it fucking live is not your friend.

norbizness September 18, 2009 at 12:37 pm

Evidently the Murdoch Company nanites have had difficulty in locating O’Reilly’s brain and converting him to full-froth objectivism.

Serolf Divad September 18, 2009 at 12:38 pm

I think I saw the Craiglist Ad that the Heritage Foundation put out to hire this gal:

Right Wing Think-tank wants mercenary spokesperson to sell unconscionable ideas to the American people on TV. Must look like Tina Fey. Will pay $$$$$$$

Pithaughn September 18, 2009 at 12:39 pm

[re=414165]bitchincamaro[/re]: Please your source sir! to the Extreme Ultra Office Porn, I mean that also.

Zadig September 18, 2009 at 12:41 pm

[re=414167]norbizness[/re]: Your words imply that there is a non-frothy degree of objectivism, or even that there are DEGREES of objectivism at all. I don’t think so, sir. Go full foaming-mouthed, godless, internet-trolling, fanatical Galt, or go the fuck home and pay taxes and move out of your dad’s basement and shit.

“I don’t want people to have health care but they should in fact have it.”

ragepotato September 18, 2009 at 12:43 pm

It’s okay, Bill. No one actually understood what the public option was. Essentially, your health insurance sponsors defeated a meaningless abstract concept by screaming that gubmint was gonna get all up in your fat pill and dick pill prescriptions. The fact that it was called the public option meant nothing whatsoever. It might as well have been called “the yard chocolate yahtzee” option.

Way Cool Larry September 18, 2009 at 12:44 pm

he really should be more careful– he really screwed up by letting some humanity show through his lizard mask

norbizness September 18, 2009 at 12:45 pm

To Fox News, the only acceptable completion of a sentence that begins with “I think poor people…” is “…should be harvested and their organs sold on the gray market.”

Godot September 18, 2009 at 12:45 pm

I feel like, to some extent, O’Reilly really doesn’t know what he believes. Like many right-leaning Americans, he’s led along by the Republican Party, with all their talk of Patriotism, to think that the right is for everything they like and the left is for everything they don’t. But these aren’t actually EVIL people, just people who have been misled, so when they speak their mind on these key social justice issues, they don’t realize that they’re on the opposite side of what they really believe.

Zadig September 18, 2009 at 12:47 pm

[re=414178]magic titty[/re]: I suppose it’s good that Bill O’Reilly feels he can be honest that what he actually WANTS for America is the worst thing that could happen to America since the first inaugural address of George W. Bush.

SayItWithWookies September 18, 2009 at 12:47 pm

Bill just got fooled by the sly rhetoric of the commies who want to give insurance to the people who can’t afford it. It seems like a reasonable idea, until you realize that it’s secret code for death camps.

widget09 September 18, 2009 at 12:53 pm

Now there’s a candidate to compete with Wolf Blitzer on Jeopardy!

watershed September 18, 2009 at 12:57 pm

WHOOPS! Literally thousands of seniors just changed their minds on this whole health care thing.

PlanetWingnuta September 18, 2009 at 12:57 pm

will obamacare pay for Bill’s batteries for this vibrator that he sits on while making sexual harassment calls?

Prommie September 18, 2009 at 12:58 pm

Reminds me of Dan Quayle, who when asked what would women who had an unwanted pregnancy do if abortion were outlawed, said “they could just get a little d&c.”

TGY September 18, 2009 at 1:02 pm

Bill O’Reilly gives a firm ‘No’ to socialized healthcare. Wait, ‘Yes’. No, it’s definitely ‘No’. That is correct: yes, repeat ‘no’.

groove September 18, 2009 at 1:05 pm

[re=414201]watershed[/re]: They were against the death panels before they were for them. But it’s easier logic for them to just say they support whatever the right wing supports.

Cape Clod September 18, 2009 at 1:08 pm

[re=414188]SayItWithWookies[/re]: Its just like those sneaky liberals. Slying putting the word ‘option’ into the name of their plan to confuse Billo into thinking that they are going to take his insurance away and force him into getting group insurance with poor people.

magic titty September 18, 2009 at 1:09 pm

[re=414188]SayItWithWookies[/re]: And he’d like an option that would allow him to be blown by top-heavy associate producers who can keep a secret.

m_supercomputer September 18, 2009 at 1:09 pm

The current level of right-wing nutjobs think Billo is in fact not conservative enough and should have his timeslot taken away. Who do they think should take his place? Ann Coulter.

Seriously. No part of that is a joke. IT’S COME TO THIS.

miquonranger03 September 18, 2009 at 1:10 pm

Why don’t they just call it the “Nobama Totally Republican Thingy, We Promise, :D , ^_^!” plan? They’d pass that today if they renamed it that.

PsycGirl September 18, 2009 at 1:12 pm

[re=414185]Godot[/re]: Reminds me of my Mom in the Reagan era, when she was a Republican who favored abortion rights, equal opportunity for women and subsidized day care but got mad when I pointed out to her that this made her a Democrat.
She’s an Obama-loving Dem now, thanks to GWB.

Death to O’Reilly! Basic human decency is for liberal pansies. Bring in Ann Coulter, who paid for his adam’s-apple-ectomy his own damn self!

[re=414213]TGY[/re]: Don’t worry about Bill. It’s Friday afternoon, so he’s still gonna get that envelope from the insurance lobby discretely passed to him. It’s not going to be as fat as last week’s envelope, but he’ll still get it.

Public option is dead. Now “pubic lotion” might be something Bill can get behind.

It is a little known fact that FOX News has a pen full of Heritage lackeys in a spare lot next to their studios. When ever they need an expert, they cull one out, wash off the fecal matter with a fire hose, and then put them in studio to give the latest insane right wing talking points.

At FOX, this is known as fair and balanced reporting.

Just keep fucking that chicken, Brillo.

TIRED OF LIBERAL NUTS September 18, 2009 at 5:34 pm

Are you people for real? When you liberals disagree with someone, rather than making a legitimate arguement for or against something your answer is to “call them names, make fun of them for the way they look, speak or belittle their intelligence”. Is this what you call fair and balnaced? Do any of you really think Bill O’reilly really gives a flying f#@! what you people think of him.

Talk about bigots.

SomeNYGuy September 18, 2009 at 6:43 pm

Sorry, spymoose, my previous comment was actually a reply to TIRED OF LIBERAL NUTS. You have to respect the integrity of a conservative who decries “name-calling” but starts name-calling before he types a comment — it’s already there in his nym!

Brain September 19, 2009 at 12:34 am

Maybe Bill-O will finally get that generic prescription strength bag of dicks he wants so badly

Thinker September 19, 2009 at 4:59 am

Bill talks so much and always over his guests, who might be able to assist him with information, that he misses a lot. Getting factual reports from O’Reilly is an exercise in futility, and if I ever watch The Factor, it’s purely for laughs, because I love makin’ fun of Bill.
