Here’s an excerpt from the transcript of Tee Rall’s appearance on “The O’Reilly Factor”:

O’REILLY: … all five of your panels here dealing with individual women are

mocking them, and the Daniel Pearl thing, you say, OK, you took that one

example, but that’s an egregious example. I mean, as far as I know, Mrs.

Pearl, pregnant eight months, isn’t a venal person. Why would you do that?

RALL: Well, honestly, I thought, you know, I was inspired by a number of

examples, and before it came out that, in fact, it was confirmed that her

husband had been murdered in Pakistan, I thought that she was — that she had

been — my heart went out to her, everybody’s did. And afterwards, I was, I

think, like many Americans astonished that she was on television at all.

I know myself, if I were killed, I don’t think my wife would be doing —

would be here on the show…

O’REILLY: Well, but you’re judging her, though…

RALL: … (UNINTELLIGIBLE).

O’REILLY: … she didn’t do it to ask for money or anything, she just said

her husband’s a hero, and, you know, she admired his courage. What did she

say that offended you, or thought that…

RALL: It’s not, it’s not about — you know, I mean, I wasn’t out to attack

her or…

O’REILLY: But you did, you did, you attacked her.

RALL: … (UNINTELLIGIBLE)…

O’REILLY: And…

RALL: Not by name, and it’s really an amalgamation…

O’REILLY: Oh, come on.

Ted Rall: Stuttering idiot. Who’s managing this guy, anyway? Whatever possessed him to do this interview in a bulbous clown nose and big floppy shoes? I’ll never understand it.

I mean, what’s his exit strategy, y’know…?
