Synopsis "Killing O'Reilly: The Assassination of America's Most Famous Bloviator"
Chris Matthews "When are we going to have the book we've really been waiting for, 'Killing O'Reilly?' When's that coming out?"Stephen Colbert "I'm not saying it wouldn't be a big seller. But it might be a little cry for help." October 2, 2013 The Colbert ReportO'Reilly's response to Matthews "There is good reason why he (Chris Matthews) and his cohorts want me dead, ratings." October 4, 2013 The O'Reilly Factor"The thing about "Killing O'Reilly" that really amazes me is the subtle satire, how it is all there without beating you over the head."The Oscillator eNews"Quick action from the start, easy to follow, and nothing is as obvious as it seems."The CoConspirator"Jane White may have cut her teeth on Colbert but her use of satire and irony is brilliantly understated."The Renegade"Not since Stephen Crane wrote 'The Red Badge of Courage' have we seen such powerful use of understatement."Provocateur MagazineAs of the writing of this book Bill O'Reilly was still very much alive. I'm not sure why, though. It does seem that he enrages a great many people and with at least a small militia worth of gun-toting extremists searching to make their mark in the annals of martyrdom...So why write a book that depicts a very much alive cause célèbre being shot in the face? It seemed like the right time. O'Reilly will probably live many more years annoying people who still think for themselves yet cannot escape his reach. According to statistics which I just made up O'Reilly will most likely die of coronary disease, alone, but certainly not broke. Why write an alternative ending for the guy who grew his fortune by rewriting history? I could think of no reason not to. So enjoy this story that is much more than just a giant windbag getting gassed. And the next time you stand on your soapbox and run your mouth because you think this is 'Murica and you have the right to say whatever the hell you want without suffering the consequences know that there is always someone crazier than you who thinks you don't.
