O'Reilly: I'd Sue Franken If I Could

Fox News superstar Bill O'Reilly had a few choice words for admitted liar Al Franken at a party last night celebrating Peter Jennings' 20th anniversary as sole anchor of "World News Tonight," saying he'd like to sue Franken but it would be a fruitless exercise.

When asked by a New York Times reporter about Franken's new book, "Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right," which features O'Reilly on the cover, the prime-time powerhouse sneered: "Why would anybody listen to him? He says he's a satirist. If Franken's a satirist, then I'm JENNIFER LOPEZ."

Responding to a question about whether Fox's failed lawsuit against Franken was O'Reilly's idea, as has been rumored, O'Reilly responded: "That's another fallacy in the media. I don't have anything to do with them [Fox]. If I were them, I would sue him for defamation."

Would he consider suing Franken for defamation on his own?

"I've thought about it," O'Reilly said, "I've thought about it. But I would lose. Famous people have no protection in this country."
