Bill O’Reilly Devours Conscience-Stricken Movie Blogger

Jon Voight’s recent toe-dip into the murky pool of political commentary attracted more than a few piranhas, the hungriest of whom may have been Hollywood Elsewhere’s Jeffrey Wells. And after a July 29 blog item suggested freezing Voight’s career as payback for his public condemnation of Barack Obama (”If I were a producer and I had to make a casting decision about hiring Voight or some older actor who hadn’t pissed me off with an idiotic Washington Times op-ed piece, I might very well say to myself, ‘Voight? Let him eat cake’”), Bill O’Reilly came a-calling last night with a theory about a new Hollywood blacklist against conservatives. While we (and Wells himself, apparently) had hoped for a more bloodthirsty offensive from Wells, we’re endlessly engrossed by his session on Dr. O’Reilly’s couch, elucidating the vengeful feelings inherent to angry industry bloggers everywhere. Seriously, Bill, this is nothing — wait until Oscar season. [Fox News]
