Fox Host Bill O'Reilly on Wednesday claimed that he could have been the Marlboro Man.

"While I was covering the News in Denver, I was approached by a modeling agency to be the Marlboro guy dressed as a cowboy," he said on the "O'Reilly Factor" while lamenting the lack of a public health campaign warning about the dangers of weed.

He lauded the U.S. government's campaign against smoking tobacco, but said that the U.S. has taken the opposite approach to pot.

"Smoking marijuana is quite the opposite. That’s on the rise, as pot use is considered cool in many circles, and above all it is political correct," he said.

Is that wrinkled old windbag still on cable?

[HiTech RedNeck]

How looks fade

[yarddog]

He was beat out by Kramer.

[cripplecreek]

Yeah. I stumbled across him last night while he was pimping a national ID.

RE :”Yeah. I stumbled across him last night while he was pimping a national ID.”

That reminds me, I got fed up with him in ~ 2006 when he was ranting and preaching on his show how the Fed government mandating corn ethanol in gas would make the US oil independent.

Stop watching him soon after.

I am amazed that so many others still watch him and havent caught on to how FofS he is.

[Salvey]

It was probably the pendulous wattle hanging from his jaw that attracted the modeling agency.

[yarddog]

I was listening to that Jackass one day on the radio when he suggested that banning all ammo would be the perfect solution to gun control.

[cripplecreek]

His purpose is to make “moderates” think they’re being reasonable.

I cant stand his (BORs) voice.

When I want to listen to progressives to find up what they are up to I watch MSNBC, not BOR on FNC. He is a termite

LOL! Good one.

[bandleader]

Bill”O’Baxter”isn’t my idea of a”Marlboro Man”!!!!!!!!!!

[McBuff]

He must have missed his true calling. . .

[Dallas59]

[Logical me]

Dumped this turd. He is a very ignorant and sick ars.

[yarddog]

He is one of those people who just rub me the wrong way, even when he says something I agree with.

[DariusBane]

Damn, Bill loves the smell of Narcissism in the morning.

[pops88]

God forgive me. I saw “Bill O’Reilly passed on” and started to get excited.

[Nifster]

Yeah well I call bs on the old bloviator. This BOR thinks he is ever so special and doesn’t mind treating the truth the way Paul Ryan does

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

But, can he ride a horse?
