Matter of Opinion

Bill O’Reilly said what?

Seems the Fox News commentator had a racial epiphany while dining at a soul-food restaurant.

Excerpt:

After eating dinner at a famed Harlem restaurant recently, Fox News Channel's Bill O'Reilly told a radio audience he "couldn't get over the fact" that there was no difference between the black-run Sylvia's and other restaurants.

"It was like going into an Italian restaurant in an all-white suburb in the sense of people were sitting there, and they were ordering and having fun," he said. "And there wasn't any kind of craziness at all."

He really needs to get out more. So, will Mr. No Spin be able to spin his way out of this one?
