O'Reilly had a point this morning where he said that he will probably continue to sell records in Europe (where they are so much more enlightened than we are [smirk]) ... but that his career is over in the U.S. In fact, we should ship him to France.

Only if Florida has a recording studio in prison. I hope the state of Florida throws the book at him.
