O’Reilly lies. He lies about stuff that doesn’t even matter. A constant, never-ending stream of lies. My theory? I think he lies about the little stuff to cover for the big stuff.

From last night’s 60 Minutes profile of Billo:

“Not like Maria Shriver, with all due respect to her. Nice woman who started in Los Angeles. Why? Because her name is Maria Shriver,” says O’Reilly. “O’Reilly starts in Scranton, Pa., with the coal miners. I loved it. My folks.”

“Give me a break,” says Wallace. “Why are you comparing yourself all of the sudden with Maria Shriver?”

“Because I’m telling you that this road I took had to be taken,” says O’Reilly. “There was no other way to do it.”

For the record, Shriver started in Philadelphia as a low-level assistant.

“I don’t throw my weight around. I’m not partying with Puff Daddy. I’m not cuttin’ a line. I’m not drivin’ a Mercedes Benz.”

Again, for the record, his wife has a Mercedes, but he says he won’t get in it.
