Talkin' trash to the garbage around me.

Profiles in douchebaggery

I don't usually pile on Bill O'Reilly, mostly because keeping on top of his inane ramblings (and those of his guests) is a full-time job requiring resources I don't have, namely FOX News. But the misogynistic asshole needs to be called out for recycling the classic "blame-the-victim" trope:
From the August 2 edition of Westwood One's The Radio Factor with Bill O'Reilly:
O'REILLY: So anyway, these two girls come in from the suburbs and they get bombed, and their car is towed because they're moronic girls and, you know, they don't have a car. So they're standing there in the middle of the night with no car. And then they separate because they're drunk. They separate, which you never do. All right.

Now Moore, Jennifer Moore, 18, on her way to college. She was 5-foot-2, 105 pounds, wearing a miniskirt and a halter top with a bare midriff. Now, again, there you go. So every predator in the world is gonna pick that up at two in the morning. She's walking by herself on the West Side Highway, and she gets picked up by a thug. All right. Now she's out of her mind, drunk.

And the thug takes her over to New Jersey in the cab and kills her and rapes her and does all these terrible things to her. And the thug is so stupid, he uses her cell phone, and the cops trace it back to him and they -- and they arrest him and charge him with murder. He had a prostitute girlfriend with him, and she's charged as an accessory to murder. But Jennifer Moore is in the ground. She's dead.
