Come on, Bill. Do it for the folks

As many of you know, Bill O’Reilly has a new book out called Pinheads and Patriots.  I have to admit that I don’t know much about O’Reilly directly.  I am not a fan of The Factor.  In fact, to be completely honest, most of what I’ve seen of O’Reilly has been reflected off Colbert.  But based on the recent interviews between StewBeef and Papa Bear, I took a look at the free sample of this most recent polemic.

Here’s literally the first page.  The last 50 pages is just an old interview with the President, who O’Reilly lovingly refers to as Barak Hussein Obama.  Read it all but note the highlighted portions (because i was pretty excited to learn how to use that feature of my “snipping tool”)

That’s right, baby its payback time!  Now you’ll get to hear my ridiculous musings on my definition of what America is for …wha?…$28?  I thought this was a thank you gift for making you so rich and famous?  You’re so grateful to us for making you a big celebrity that even the kindle version of your book costs $13.

That’s kinda bullshit, Bill.  I get that publishers take a big cut of the profits but if you are going to start off by thanking people at least make the electronic version of the book free. Is it just that you don’t want to give anything away for free? Would that would make you a conspirator in the socialist takeover of the county our grandparents fought for? Those same grandparents who don’t want Republicans to privatize their social security.

No I did not read the rest of the book. The first 30 pages were so full of venom and spite, I did not feel the need to read any further. Talk about your snipping tools.
