Bill O'Reilly's honorific, as "America's Biggest Gasbag," was underscored, last night, when Bill channeled his sexually repressed and racially skewed views with his scold session about the dangers of sexualized hip-hop music which he really, Really, loathes. Legion of decency decorated veteran O'Reilly engaged in a rant that was no different from accusations, made by bigoted old white gasbags back in the 50's, that Elvis Presley's Negro "jungle" music and gyrating hips were corrupting innocent white American youth. As the saying goes, everything old is new again and Bill is just so retro - but definitely not the cool kind!

As the media mouthpiece for those who long for the good old days of happy, Christian Girl Scouts content with their arts and crafts, Fox News has, for several years, aided and abetted the anti-Girl Scout lies and propaganda promulgated by those who think that today's Scouts are being turned into a bunch of "boot-stomping, sexualized radicals" who are controlled by Satan's baby killing minions at Planned Parenthood. This week, Elisabeth Hasselbeck kept the propaganda alive.

Bill O’Reilly thinks he knows better than President Obama, his advisor Valerie Jarrett and Michelle Obama about how to prevent teen pregnancy and help empower disadvantaged youth. So although O’Reilly was obviously delighted to have been invited to the White House today for the launch of the Obama administration’s “My Brother’s Keeper” initiative, designed to empower boys and young men of color, he just couldn’t help lecturing Jarrett about a few areas that need improving.
