So, what's going to happen with that bailout bill? Now that McCain's come to save ruin everything, who the fuck knows! Bushie is speaking at 9:35 which is sure to be interesting but while we wait, I highly, HIGHLY suggest you listen to this clip from Bill O'Reilly's talk radio show last night, in which he expresses his feelings on the rescue package. For those who can't (I think there are people who can't, I don't know), I've transcribed it below, which wasn't even that labor intensive because I've listened to it many times, with pleasure. Note: this is a two and a half minute monologue. There is no one else talking.

"Most talk radio is conservative dominated ideologues, or kool-aid drinking idiots. Idiots.Screaming at you "This is socialism, this is this this is that""It's Clintons fault, it's Clinton's fault." It's Clinton's fault? Clinton hasn't been in office in 8 years.

It's Bush's fault, it happened on Bush's watch. He could've prevented this. He could've gone easily and said Merrill Lynch is dealing in bad paper he could've said that.Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac they're dealing in bad paper, so you the investor, don't invest in those companies. You think they would've continued to deal in bad paper? No they would not!

But let's get back to this talk radio stuffThese idiots are misleading you they're lying to you They're rich, these guysBig cigars, all of that! Private jets, "Oh yeah, my private jet!"And they're saying "No bailout, no no uh uh no way"Hey! You're going to get it, not themThat foreign investment pulls out, we are toastAnd they'll pull out if that bailout doesn't happenAre you getting the message here?Walk away from these liars, these right wing liarsWalk away from them, they're not looking out for you!

I don't even want to talk about the far leftBarney Frank? Disgusting!Pointing fingers?It's you you big fat toad, YOU!Frank!You!Dodd, sittin' there[incomprehensible impression of Dodd]It's you Dodd, you! You knew!I swear to god, if they were in this room right now, I would hit themDodd and FrankThe house finance and senate financeThey knew!

Don't point a finger at anybody, I'll break that finger offSo! you got corruption on the right, and corruption on the leftAnd who gets it? You get it, you, the hardworking person

The next politician that gets up their and points a finger, I'm go after them myself Shut up! Fix it! These are people's livesI got enough money in the bank. Unless a bank fails, I'm fineBut you're probably not fineI'm lucky

I'm tired of these charlatans on both sidesLying to you, because they're ideological kool-aid drinkers or corrupt toadsAnd I'm talkin to you Barney FrankWho's the guy who was saying, "If you don't lend money to poor people you're a bigot"Who was saying that barney, WHO?![pause] I gotta take a break"
