political signal-boost of the day

This is kinda cute. Click on the quote for the full text of the article.

O'Reilly: Look, Madison, you and I both know that there's been no big march to tyrrany here. Let's cut the crap: King George hasn't changed the administration of the colonies much at all.

James Madison: I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments by those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations.

O'Reilly: Look, pal, you can leave the fancy language in the salons with your other wealthy friends. I know you people have a big problem with the Stamp Act and stuff like that, but let me tell you, the Mother Country saved our butts from the French and we owe her.

James Madison: If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy.

O'Reilly: Shut up! Shut up! Get off my set! Go back to giving a loofah rub to your nubile, attractive, young ... uh, get out of here!

Very amusing. :)

(The pedant in me wants to pont out that they misspelled "tyranny", and that John Adams, at 41, would not be considered a "young" lawyer then or now.)

You do realize there's only one answer to that...

Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!
