Good line from Derbyshire today. O'REILLY HITS A BIG ONE You can say what you like about Bill O'Reilly. And you do: any time I mention him I get e-mails from O'Reilly doubters, O'Reilly scoffers, O'Reilly sneerers, and O'Reilly haters. Fair enough, but there is no denying that once in a while O'Reilly hits one out of the park. This happened the other day. O'Reilly was interviewing a Mexican consul (which the Lad from Levittown pronounces "counsel") about illegal immigration. They got to the point where the huge discrepancy in living standards was mentioned. The median family income in the USA is around $40,000; in Mexico it's less than $4,000. O'Reilly: "Yeah, what's that all about? What's wrong with things in your country, that her people don't have a decent living?" Exactly! (In "Holidays in Hell", P.J. O'Rourke gave the most popular Mexican answer to this question: "What is wrong, Señor, is that you Gringos stole the best part of our country from us, the part with all the good roads!")
