Bill O'Reilly came perilously close to popping brain vessels when he went nuts vs. Geraldo Rivera over "illegal" immigrants a few nights ago.
Not having seen a full-blown, crazed rant in quite awhile, I was definitely entertained.
But then I started thinking.
How can some souls risk a stroke by raving about the purported evil of hungry people without documentation crossing an imaginary line on the continent's face in a desperate attempt to put food on their tables -- and deem it a heinous crime -- but remain mute over the staggering international illegality, and monumental ethical travesty, of George Bush attacking Iraq without provocation or honest cause?

It's the same thing with their bizarre fetus fetishism.
