LIES AND A LYING LIAR

Rolling Stone's profile of reactionary right-wing commentator Bill O'Reilly includes one humorous nugget of flat-out untruth.

While verbally abusing a Canadian journalist who praised two Americans who fled north of the border to avoid military service in Iraq, O'Reilly threatens a U.S. boycott of her country.

"They've lost billions of dollars in France, according to the Paris Business Review!" he thunders.

Of course, there is no such publication. (Although there are now two enterprising Web sites with the same name.)
