VERBATIM

A fabrication straight from the mouth of O'Reilly

We can pretend that Christmas is under attack

Hold a vote to save it -- then pat ourselves on the back;

"Silent Night," "First Noel," "Away in a Manger"

Wake up, Congress, they're in no danger!

This time of year we see Christmas everywhere we go,

From churches, to homes, to schools, and yes . . . even Costco;

What we have is an attempt to divide and destroy,

When this is the season to unite us with joy

At Christmastime we're taught to unite,

We don't need a made-up reason to fight

So on O'Reilly, on Hannity, on Coulter, and those right-wing blogs;

You should just sit back, relax . . . have a few eggnogs!

'Tis the holiday season: enjoy it a pinch

With all our real problems, do we honestly need another Grinch?

So to my friends and my colleagues I say with delight,

A merry Christmas to all, and to Bill O'Reilly . . . Happy Holidays.
