Insufferable O’Reilly

September 23, 2005 by

Cap’n Arbyte has a wonderful post on Bill O’Reilly’s ghastly and embarrassing demand to know who precisely sets the price of gasoline.

O’Reilly may be soon be challenging Lou Dobbs for the title of most economically ignorant news personality. And you can read into this what you want regarding mainstream economic teachings, but Dobbs has a degree in economics from Harvard!

It’s actually set by me. I also secretly rule the world (with Jeff Tucker’s help, of course). O’Reilly’s close to discovering my secret….Will it get me on his show?

Lisa,

Actually you DO set the price of gasoline. So do I. So does everybody else who uses or produces energy.

I do find it hilarious that in all the research he supposedly did, he actually found the right answer (nobody sets the price of gasoline) yet refused to realize it.

This kind of thing is reason #1 of why I no longer consider myself a “conservative”.

apropos of this topic, I saw Trump on Jay Leno the other night.He appeared to be at least as ignorant
as O’Reilly , without the excuse of having no background in business.Its evident that he believes that since the Saudi’s cost to produce
a barrel is so low,they have no right to sell at market price.

Yeah – Trump should start selling advertising space on “The Apprentice” so that it only covers the cost of producing the show. He is gouging us!!! Donald Trump is a gouger!! Idiot.

And that’s why the Donald had to rush to bankruptcy. What an overrated llama!
