BILL O'REILLY, HOST: In the "Factor Follow-up" segment tonight: As we've been reporting, the Vermont justice system is chaos, especially when it comes to sexual predators. The legislature there voted down Jessica's Law, and all across the state violent sex offenders are serving light sentences.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

JESSE WATTERS, "FACTOR" PRODUCER: Why aren't you protecting the children against child rapists? Instead, you're passing bills that protect transsexual rights.

BILL LIPPERT, D-VERMONT STATE REPRESENTATIVE: You people don't even begin to know what the truth is. Yesterday we passed a strong bill against sexual predators. If you'd start with getting your facts straight for once, it would be a refreshing change.

I'm careful to not be drinking beverages too close to laptop when I'm gathering news

No, you're a liar.  Vermont is a great state, I've been there.  It's amazing.

FOXNews.com reports "Teen Pregnancy Rate Hits 15-Year High". No mention of the effect of "abstinence only" education mandates from the Bush administration, but you can draw your own conclusions.

If it were a Democratic president, they would have said it a thousand times - "Under President Democrat's administration, teen pregnancy is at a 15 year high."

Now what does this mean!! How freakin' absurd & I bet this looney-tune is a tax-protester as well!!

"High profile abstinence-only advocate, Robert Rector, led the preemptive damage-control planning. He outlined several strategies the abstinence-only movement could use to rationalize the findings in the report saying, "The other spin I think is very important is not [program] effectiveness, but rather the values that are being taught," Rector said. Whether or not these programs work is a "bogus issue," Rector continued."

That is pretty lame even for that ilk of fellow!!

Nichole

Please don't cry over spilt ilk.

"The other spin I think is very important is not [program] effectiveness, but rather the values that are being taught," Rector said. Whether or not these programs work is a "bogus issue," Rector continued."

That that whole 'does it work thing' is so tired and played out.  All the effort spend on 'success' and all.  Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain who is also cashing the checks.
