Hilarious reader's reviews on Bill O'Reilly's new book - they hate him
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0767913795/ref=pd_ts_b_14/002-439480

There are four reader's reviews listed and all four are really
beating up on O'Reilly, in the meantime, praising Al Franken's book.
Pretty funny stuff. This is from Amazon.com's book list.

You have to scroll all the way down, past the professional reviews
to get to these. The only problem is you have to look at O'Reilly's
smug face on the cover of his book but only for a second if your
quick.

2. Those are pretty funny
I remember going to visit the Amazon.com reviews for La Coulter's "Slander." Amazon has this feature where you can recommend books that are similar -- well this was the entry on the "Slander" page

132 people recommended "MEIN KAMPF" in addition to "Slander"

I laughed my ass off. And I recommended the same thing. I think they have some reporting system for preventing that now.

4. Too funny!
Actually, there are a lot of hilarious reviews, much more than the 4 on the front.

I kinda feel bad for Bill.

5. Some of the 5-star reviews are scary!
just graduated from the "know-it-all" phase in my life and have come across the views of Bill O'Reilly. If you are ready to make a clean start in your logical life and are ready to think for yourself, I would suggest this book to you. O'Reilly has been released from the supposition prison. He not only thinks of the best possible outcome in situations, but by reading this book you too will exercise those congnitive cells that are wasting away in so many American heads. Closing your mind off to the ideas of others will only lead to a phlegmatic society. Read it, learn from it and move on, but don't accuse him of being an idiot, that accusation is a fallacy in itself.

I'll probably end up unknowingly dating this guy... :eyes:

6. I now realize there are a lot more
Somebody said they feel sorry for Bill. I don't think I do -
it will take more than bad reviews from the little people to have
him fall of his high horse. If anything, this will make him even
more spiteful than he already is - he's probably writing his next
book already.

9. I skimmed through it at Borders the other day--mostly just crap
about how he single-handedly turned around the news organizations he worked for because the producers just cared about "ratings" and he cared about "the truth" -- oh please . . .

One howler though was when he CLAIMED (with absolutely no verification, as is his wont) that his name was floated as Clinton's weekly debate rival on 60 Minutes, but Clinton didn't want to face him. Again, pathetic or hilarious? we report, you decide.

A sad bully . . . a sad, SPLOTCHY, bully . . .
