O’Reilly is picking fights again…

This guy, Don Cheadle, we invited him on to talk about Darfur. He had a headache. His elbow hurt. He couldn’t do it, you know. And as you said, he’s got a movie out now, so he’s running around. I think Cheadle’s a phony. … And you know, I just don’t want these stars to be getting all this good publicity using people.

Finally! Someone cracks down on that vast racket of publicity-seekers trying to “use” the people in Darfur by calling attention to the fact that they’re being mass-murdered. Because there really are too many people talking about Darfur, really. (For his part, O’Reilly has uttered the word ‘Darfur’ just twice in the history of his show.)

Like I always say: "Why won't celebrities just shut up about Darfur!"
