Where’s Bill O’Reilly’s Apology For Being An Idiot Over Health Care Reform?

On March 26^th, Bill O’Reilly promised on national television that if the individual mandate was ruled Constitutional, he would not only apologize for his zeal in attacking it, but also admit to being an idiot. Well, as Ellen wrote in a post about that segment, O’Reilly’s promise was duly noted and she made her own promise to hold him to it. Yet in a lengthy discussion about the ruling on The O’Reilly Factor tonight, Bill made no apology, much less admitted to being an idiot.

His actual wording on March 26, 2012:

This is absolutely a mandate, it’s absolutely a force, it’s absolutely police powers from the federal government… and it’s gonna be five to four. And if I’m wrong, I will come on, and I will play your clip, and I will apologize for being an idiot.

We’re waiting, Bill. Here’s the video, in case you forgot.

And here's tonight's discussion about today's ruling upholding the mandate - with no apology.

No doubt, he will first apologize for sexual harassing Andrea Mackris.

Billy misnamed his show “The Factor”….it should be “The Factory” because it’s just another place where BS is manufactured.

A suggestion to all of you News Hounds out there.

Get ready to link clips of the gNOpigs barking about “Obama’s Waterloo” since we can be sure those clowns are going to make a beeline for the Fox gNOpig propaganda channel.

My favorite, bat chit crazy Michelle Bachmann promising to slice her wrists.

@ Kent Brockman- I’d add another one or two to your queue. the Shun Sannity thing, this one, and any acknowledgement of his responsibility for Dr. Tiller’s murder

Rumor has it that the reason BOR is out of the office this week is because he’s moving out of the US. It’s taking longer than expected because he didn’t realize that most wealthy democracies already have national health care.

We all know that Bile thinks he knows it all,we also know that he is 99.9% of the time dead wrong.Bile is everybody’s and everything’s, Accuser, Judge and Jury,and executioner.
In his own mind he is the intellectional that never was.
There will be no apology forthcoming ,so lets move on.

From Antoinette’s comment:

“Billyâs huge ego wonât allow him to apologize. "

Because he is the mother of all “born on third base but thinks he hit a triple” loudmouthed cowards.

Oh, and Rush leaving the country…forgot about that one.

Bill O’s apology is right up there with Hannity’s waterboarding, Sasquatch, The Tooth Fairy, Easter Bunny and Santa Claus. Although I think you’re more likely to see the latter 4 than the first two.

No need for Bildo to apologize. His geriatric audience forgot his promise a minute after he made it. The rest of us have known for some time that he is an incorrigible idiot.

He’s been at it for months, he’s been absolutely insistant that it would get thrown out by the Supreme Court, “no doubt about it” he said…..and he has the nerve to refer to others as being ideologues!

BOR would not have a job if it had been a 5-4 decision outlawing ignorance.

Joseph West commented 2012-06-29 03:49:14 -0400 · Flag

Even if he does apologize, he WILL remind everyone that he was absolutely 100% correct on the 5-4 call.

Antoinette commented 2012-06-29 02:54:18 -0400 · Flag

Billy’s huge ego won’t allow him to apologize. Frauds like him always think they are right, and to admit a mistake would make them look weak in front of their audience.

NOTE TO BILLY

Coward!

Killer O’Reilly tells lies every day. He was lying about this one too.
