Bill O'Reilly is 'da man — especially if you ask him. Think Progress reports this morning that in an interview yesterday on Fox News's Neil Cavuto, "Bill O’Reilly claimed that his reporting intimidated oil company CEOs into lowering gasoline prices":
O’REILLY: I have guys inside the five major oil companies - my father used to work for one of those oil companies by the way - who have told me that in those meetings they look for every way to jack up oil prices after Katrina, every way, when they didn’t have to. They got scared because of my reporting and reporting of some others. They said, “Uh ho.”

CAVUTO: So wait a minute, you’re not, you’re taking credit for gas prices being down from where they are?

O’REILLY: I said my reporting and some reporting of others. They got scared.

So not only is Bill O’Reilly saving Christmas, he’s making it cheaper for you to get to the mall. Is there anything this guy can’t do?
He's much too humble to ever tell you this, but Bill O'Reilly is "apparently" omniscient and omnipotent. The only thing holding him back from being a diety is omnipresence — unless his omnipresence on the airwaves counts. Is Bill O'Reilly a god?
