...today. I'm sure you understand. But I will give a shout-out to George Clooney, of all people, for actually giving the business back to Bill O'Reilly instead of simply taking it. Falafel Man cast aspersions on a proposed telethon designed to raise money for tsunami victims, saying that "If George Clooney and other stars go on TV and ask you to give, then they had better be involved (making sure the money gets there) all the way down the line."

Then...

Clooney wrote back to O'Reilly, saying: “I don’t make as much money as you, Mr. O’Reilly (a fact that’s easy to check), but I’m fascinated by your use of the word CELEBRITY as if you’re not one... you put on make up, you do Leno, The Today Show, go on book tours, and do junkets, so let’s be clear... you are a well paid celebrity. So all right, Mr. Journalist... come on in. I’m booking the talent for the Tsunami event ... and you, Mr. O’Reilly, are now officially invited to be a presenter ... So what do you say, Mr. O’Reilly ... either you ante up and help out AND be that watch dog that you feel we clearly need ... or you simply stand on the sidelines and cast stones, proving that your January 6 TV show was nothing more than a ‘box of lights and wires’ designed to make you wealthy.”

I'm sure O'Reilly will now accuse him of taking the religion out of Christmas.
