Squeal! Squeal Like A Pig! By Mr. Terence Chua, Basking In Schadenfreude

Man, I wish I had paid more attention to the TV yesterday - anybody got a video tape of it or video clip that I can watch just so I can cackle with unbridled glee at Bill's expression? I get so little satisfaction these days...

WASHINGTON - Conservative television news anchor Bill O'Reilly said Tuesday he was now skeptical about the Bush administration and apologized to viewers for supporting prewar claims that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction.

The anchor of his own show on Fox News said he was sorry he gave the U.S. government the benefit of the doubt that former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein's weapons program poised an imminent threat, the main reason cited for going to war.

"I was wrong. I am not pleased about it at all and I think all Americans should be concerned about this," O'Reilly said in an interview with ABC's "Good Morning America."

"What do you want me to do, go over and kiss the camera?" asked O'Reilly, who had promised rival ABC last year he would publicly apologize if weapons were not found.

But Bill! You also said you would never, ever, ever, cross your heart and hope to die, stick a needle in your eye, trust that naughty Bushie again! But...

While critical of President Bush, O'Reilly said he did not think the president intentionally lied. Rather, O'Reilly blamed CIA Director George Tenet, who was appointed by former President Clinton.

Aww, man! You were so close to gaining back just that teeny leetle bit of respect.

I guess even an attack dog like Bill knows where the wind's blowing on this one and is adjusting his package accordingly.

Well. I will be dipped in eggs, rolled in cracker crumbs, and fried. I never thought Bill O'Reilly would actually keep his word (even sort of) on that one. What do you know.

Hearing about it was one of the pleasures of my day.
