This week’s Idiot Award goes to an obvious nominee: Mr. Bill O’Reilly

The voice of the few, the alienated, the furiously inarticulate, the fascist, and the blind got right in line behind Pat Robertson and a host of hate mongers who thrive on cliché and think the world would be a beautifully safe and wonderful place if only the opposition to hand guns could have some sense shot into them with a colt 45.

And I quote:

“Hey, you know, if you want to ban military recruiting, fine, but I’m not going to give you another nickel of federal money. You know, if I’m the president of the United States, I walk right into Union Square, I set up my little presidential podium, and I say, “Listen, citizens of San Francisco, if you vote against military recruiting, you’re not going to get another nickel in federal funds. Fine. You want to be your own country? Go right ahead.”

And if Al Qaeda comes in here and blows you up, we’re not going to do anything about it. We’re going to say, look, every other place in America is off limits to you, except San Francisco. You want to blow up the Coit Tower? Go ahead.”

[color=grey]I’m not so sure that Mary Coit and Mr. O’Reilly wouldn’t have hit it off nicely, considering her taste in men. But for thoughtlessness and ignorance, this week’s Idiot Award goes straight out to you lover.[/color]
