OH SNAP!!!!!!!

BillO is a professional person and his profession is constantly being wrong as hell every damned time he opens his mouth.

The Truth....man it's so great!

I didn't see a large crowd gathering around him as he wondered around in what I'm guessing was the green zone. When and if this war is finally over, what will he have to piss and moan about then? Of course at the rate it's going BillO will be real old and likely dead before that happens.

Right frickin' on!!! Fabulous!

Kudos to Drowning Pool showing Bill(shit) just what an a-hole he really is... Nice job, gentlemen!!

I responded: Bill O’Reilly Insults The USO On His Afghan Junket.

But yesterday Bill-O gave us a gift by describing his ethical deficiencies, in his own words, far better than I ever could. From The Bill O'Pedia:

“There are few journalistic standards left these days as we’ve proven on this broadcast again and again.”

You certainly have proven that. I can’t think of another program proves it more conclusively, day after day. The complete absence of journalistic standards that you exhibit is truly a valuable lesson by example of what not to do in journalism. Thanks Bill.

And Bill-O also managed to leave out the fact that his pal Al Franken (Stuart Smalley to Bill) has been on six USO tours. And rather than going to promote a new book, he brought along country singers, TV stars, cheerleaders and put on a three hour show.

I'm not so sure you're not correct with wander... Bill(shit) has that dazed "I'm wandering" look lots of times. And his monologues really wander too... I think you're good either way...

Didn't Billo's ragging on the USO start in responce to their having turned down Dr. Laura's attempt to tour with them?

Al Franken also went to Iraq and Afghanistan several times with the USO. The last time he went they were subjected to mortar fire. On his show (to which he called in from the Middle East) he could not give his exact location - not even the country as directed by the military. I seem to remember that he said the show was interupted by the mortar file and having to evacuate. He had nothing but sympathy and praise for the men and women in uniform that had to be subjected to those conditions for months on end.

Instead of coming home proud of our men and women over there and having something positive to say, he has pick something to hate to feed his elmer's paste eaters. I hope someone gives BillO his own drowning pool with instructions for the holidays.

Drowning Pool? I didn't know they were still around, what a great band. and to Bill'O-job who wants everyone to think he is Captain America - sorry Bill, a real American would not lie to his audience about what is happening in a war zone, for any reason! weather it's as critical as success and failure on the ground or as trivial as which "famous people" visit the troops.

Bill if your wet dream of a criminal administration didn't start a war of choice based on lies then no "famous people" would have to go to Iraq...and neither would our fine men and women in our great military.

I'm no fan - or viewer - of O'Reilly's, but Jeebus, with music like that I'd welcome a bullet to the head!

When the brave culture warrior was over there, did he do anything but sign books? Did he give the books away free to the soldiers or did they have to buy them? Did he show them his website where they can buy tacky assed shit with his name on everything?

What the fu*k was Doctor Laura going to do over there? I doubt the guys and women in the service give a rats ass about her and whatever she has to say.

Not shown in the video is the box of free O’Lielly books just off camera. When Faux finally (and inevitably) goes under, they will have to tear down the building that contains BillO’s studio. They’ll never get that Old Fart smell out of there.

He's already old and dried up, and the same as dead.

Hey now, don't forget Al Franken!!!

Al Franken was there on numerous occations. He was there while there during heavy fighting and on one particular Christmas trip his act was temporarily postponed for a couple of hours due to a near by enemy bombing. He revealed on his radio show that he didn't tell his wife about that attack until after he had gotten home. The attack wouldn't stop him from making return trips.

Check out Youtube and search for USO Al Franken and you'll find plenty of clips that solders have posted from Al's show. Al comes out dressed as Saddam under arrest in chains and handcuffs. Marine guards drag "Saddam" forcibly out on stage. He then curses the audience out to their thundering cheers and gales of laughter.

Go to drowning pool's myspace page and thank them!!!

They rock!!! I don't care who you are!!!

I'm not Bildo's demography but I'm more than old enough to be
the father of our soldiers.

I hate war but love our troops!!!!

Not a metal fan (I was some 20 years ago, AC/DC, Scorpions, Judas Priest etc...), but I may have to buy DP's album just to show support. I'm sure BillO will call for a boycott of DP even though they've shown their support just like Mark Cuban.

Nice music, DP. I will catch more at your myspace site. Grip it an' rip it!

Hah! I bought the Dixie Chicks post-censoring album for exactly that reason. Listened to it twice, put it away for good. Not a fan, though I respect their efforts. But my point was made: support for a group of real patriots exercising their right to free speech and simultaneously putting one up the nose of the average neocon douchebag.

On the same day I bought Neil's Living With War just for good measure.

She would probably be going over there to tell them what whiney bitches their stateside wives are. Like the troops would want to hear that crap.

AL FRANKEN!
Everyone, please go to Drowning Pool's website. Thank them for
making the video and politely ask them to add Al Franken.

I asked them on Myspace and on their drowningpool.com boards to add Al Franken.
And I congratulated them on a perfect B****slap of BO.

But I might add ... that to Bill-Old, Franken is "no one".

I proudly bought two copies of the Dixie Chicks last album as well, gave one away and listened to the other for a little awhile and then gave it away. It's not my style of music, but I'll support them.

Dr. Chickenneck may be a douche, but her son enlisted in the Marines or Army, so her support of the troops is personal, admirable, and self serving.

Drowning Pool was amazingly able to recover after their original lead singer died. It's a pretty impressive comeback. Always liked them, good angry music.

And its pretty cool that they basically smacked Bill'Os smug face off.

sillypants's picture

I remembered watching "Patriot Act: A Jeffrey Ross Home Movie" a while back on HBO.

Inspired by the passing of U.S.O. perennial Bob Hope, Ross travels to Iraq along with six other comics (Kathy Kinney, Blake Clark, Kyle Dunnigan, Andres Frenandez, Rocky Laporte and Larry Gelbart) led by sitcom star and former marine Drew Carey. Along the way, this "Iraq Pack" carries out a secret itinerary from base to base and meets thousands of American G.I.'s. Between performances, their heavily fortified hotel is struck by a mortar attack and an army medic treats Jeff for a common soldier malady described as "Saddam's Revenge".

So I plunked Drew Carey USO into the google and what is right up at the top of the list?

The USO official website!

BillO could have simply gone there and found a whole list of press releases announcing who went where and when:

Dec 4, 2007
40,000 “Touches of Home” Provided to Troops This Holiday Season
American Airlines Sets Goal to Raise $1Milllion for Operation USO Care Package Program

Nov 19, 2007
General James Cartwright to Travel to Persian Gulf to Visit Service Members, Meet with Commanders and Lead USO Tour
Wilmer Valderrama, Mayra Veronica and Russell Peters to Accompany Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and Entertain U.S. Troops

Nov 13, 2007
Funnyman Carlos Mencia to Serve Up a Heap of Laughs to Service Members on USO Tour to Persian Gulf

Nov 9, 2007
Comics Scott Kennedy and Graham Elwood to Keep Troops in Stitches on USO Tour to Persian Gulf

Nov 9, 2007
Schick Supports Troops with Donation to the USO
640,000 Razors Donated to USO Centers and Care Package Program

They have an archive that goes back to 1997 so you can research all the celebs that have toured there since the beginning of the war.

Drowning Pool sucks and "nu-metal" is a commercially obsolete genre!

stringfelowhawk's picture

I'm impressed. Never thought they'd ever make me feel that. It makes me ponder what would happen if BillO brought on a musician with opposing views who he thinks he can try and embarrass. I would pay good money to see someone like Frank Zappa (RIP) just destroy him. I saw an interview with him back in the 80's when Tipper Gore's version of the SS were attacking musicians they deemed inappropriate and he just layed waste to the lot of em. I can only imagine his smug ass getting verbally stomped. I'd really like to see him try and outwit Diamond Dave on any subject he desires, Iraq, Iran, the economy wtf ever he chooses. I guarantee he will be in for an unprecedented surprise. If you're only a casual fan or unfamiliar with who that is all I can say is he's like Rocks court jester. He has a clownish persona in music circles but to anyone who's ever really heard him do a serious interview you know he's not some dumb musician that will roll over when confronted with a subject he's not supposed to be familiar with. His persona aside he is unbelievably articulate and intelligent. BillO would be way out of his league but it would make for some great tv.
