Bill O'Reilly Rips WaPo: 'If Romney Shaved Barney Frank's Head You Might Have a Story'
Fox News's Bill O'Reilly on Friday lambasted the Washington Post for its pathetic hit piece on Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney.
"If while Governor of Massachusetts, Romney shaved Barney Frank's head, then you might have a story. But a prep school prank?" incredulously asked O'Reilly. "The Romney story means nothing, period" (video follows with transcript and absolutely no need for additional commentary):
BILL O'REILLY: Now, let's take a look at this Romney prep school thing. First of all it's dumb. Everybody does stupid things in high school. I shot Justin McDevitt in the back with a BB gun. Justin was unarmed. I don't know why did I it. I hope can I keep my job.
If there was a pattern of behavior, if Mitt Romney was hazing people all the time, if while Governor of Massachusetts, Romney shaved Barney Frank's head, then you might have a story. But a prep school prank? Come on.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
ROMNEY: I don't recall the incident myself, but I have seen the reports. And I'm not going to argue with that. There is no question but that I did some stupid things when I was in high school. And obviously if I hurt anyone by virtue of that I would be very sorry for it and apologize for it.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
O'REILLY: "Talking Points" wants to ask "The Washington Post" what is the statute of limitations on dopey teenage behavior, does it ever run out? In addition to shooting Justin I think I hit Sharon Patterson with a snow ball when I was 14. Can you believe this nonsense?
But that is politics in America today. Got you, get you, humiliate you. The Romney story means nothing, period.

Lord I hope the media does not show pictures of them swapping slobber when they are pronounced man and man.
A little more proper wedding etiquette, Rick.

That would be "pronounced LuGButT and LuGButT," or as Baaney would say, WuGButT and WuGButT.
I just don't think that Baaney's idea of "getting a wittle twim" has anything to do with an actual haircut.

The only BUILLIES in this game are the lame-brained media.

Why pay money to have your family tree traced; go into politics and your opponents will do it for you.

about the time Mitt was into barbering...
I timed delayed a firecracker that went off during class out in a hallway locker. The explosion was very loud and caused half the school's teachers and administrators to run to investigate. A bunch of kids were grilled. The ones who had hall passes were especially under suspicion. Nobody ever said anything to me because I was a not someone who would do such a thing.

There was a place called Balls Creek Camp Meeting near our main rival Bandys HS.Anyway they used privies, outhouses. We went one night, took up one of the privies and carried and sat it down right in the commons area at Bandys. We also threw toilet paper in the trees and beer cans on top the building. It was a mess after the rain. Best thing our school was never blamed for it. We did it week they were palying Bunker Hill in football. A couple classes before us did it the week we played football. They got the blame for it.
That was one of the worst things we did. There were other pranks. It was just part of HS.
Here are some pictures of what people lived in during the 2 weeks of campmeeting

Flushing cherry bombs down the toilet on the fourth floor, and with the proper timing, you could cause a small Old Faithful action in the third floor toilets. Of course, you need to have someone go down and scount out when a toilet was in use on the third floor to get the desired effect.
Even better, build a Babo bomb by inserting an M80 firecracker in a can of Babo (cleaning powder) and rolling it through the open door of a room occupied with classmates, or (even better) upper classmen. Better than a flashbang grenade! Causes total chaos for about five minutes.
Hardly anyone ever died during these pranks. Guess we weren't as brave and effective as Obama when he took on Osama single handedly.
Oh, and we never smoked dope. Just not cool either, i guess.

Never did the cherry bomb or M80 things even though they were done. Our schools were all on a single level. Never ran into dope until I went in the Army. Heck when I was a senior in 69 we were still having devotions over the PA system each morning. Our little town was about 5-6 years behind the rest of the world. One our classmates bother was the first to die in Viet Nam. None of us had given the war a second thought until that happened in 67.

Well, my husband -- who is just about the nicest guy you could meet and really intelligent and honorable (and I'm really not the only one who thinks so!) told me that his first year in college, he and about 8 pals put golfballs inside snowballs and shot them (through those science funnels with surgical tubing serving like a slingshot) onto the roof of this particularily snotty frat house one evening -- when all the frat dudes were inside and nobody else was around. He said the frat guys ran outside like ants to see what was going on, totally weirded out...while my husband and friends had already scooted far enough away to hide and laugh their heads off while watching the frat boys looking up at the sky and all around, trying to figure out what on earth just happened.
Not that it was an evil thing to do, but I was actually completely surprised he did this because he is such a sensible person. I looked at him and said: "That was so stupid! What on earth was the point of that silliness?"
He laughed and said: "We were just being goofy. Guys can be like that at that age." I just rolled my eyes, but it did make me laugh. At least it wasn't anything that was harmful. Then I said, "Now what do you think would have happened if the campus police were cruising around about then? That could be considered vandalism or something that would have gotten you in trouble for sure." He said, "Yeah, see, we didn't really consider that."
Boys!

The response to this is as follows:
Sure lets discuss what I did 40 years ago because you think it is somehow relevant and lets also discuss the bumblers blow and drugs issues he has admitted to in writing as that is back just about as far and for these same reasons you would like to apply to me. While we are on that tell me. Which is worse a possible hazing with a haircut or using narcotics and other controlled substances?
