Bill O'Reilly pays tribute to Whitney Houston by saying she "was a drug addict who wanted to die". [View all]
Classless asshole.
Bill O'Reilly: Whitney Houston an 'addict,' 'wanted to kill herself'
While various talking heads, journalists and musicians lionize Whitney Houston in the wake of her untimely passing, Fox News' Bill O'Reilly took the opportunity to reiterate his stance on drug legalization, calling Houston an "addict" who "wanted to kill herself."
O'Reilly began his "Reality Check" segment by noting Houston's phenomenal success "170 million albums sold," and recalled her record-setting recording deal, but quickly transitioned into the morbid part of her story.
As O'Reilly put it, "like so many pop stars, Miss Houston became addicted to drugs." Like the police, he dismissed any notion of foul play, arguing that "nobody takes drugs for that long if they want to stay on the planet."

Yet, what really seemed to rankle Fox's prime-time star is that Tony Bennett called for the legalization of drugs at Clive Davis' pre-Grammy party on Saturday night.
