Bill O'Reilly scandal

First off, I don't like him or his show. I've always found him to be so in love with himself that I could make jokes about him and a mirror for twenty minutes. But none of those are appropriate for a PG-13 blog so I'll move on to something else.

He's out at Fox and good riddance. I'm sort of glad he's gone.

What's funny to me is that people are accusing Fox of being "hypocrites" because apparently Billy O talked about family values while acting like a grade-A asshole on the side. Is he a hypocrite for it? You betcha.

And here is a list of hypocritical things some leftists do:

-they love higher taxes, but continually pay the lowest rate they personally can
-they love public schools, but send their kids to overwhelmingly white exclusive private schools
-they hate capitalism but oddly live in one of the richest, freest, pro-capitalism countries in the world
-they dislike guns but have no problem with their own bodyguards being armed.

I could go on.

Here is the point: We are all hypocrites, every single one of us. From the guy who preaches about family values and has several divorces to the Canadian advocate for socialized medicine who crosses the border to get better care for her own kids.

No party has a monopoly on virtue.

  1. Which kind of goes to show that we need to be careful about what we say about others might just be true about ourselves. There is an old saying I like that states: be careful when you point your finger at someone, as there are 4 other fingers pointing back at yourself.
