Also He Can Shoot Lasers Out Of His Ass

Bill-O is back, and he apparently has developed various superpowers since he fell off the face of the Earth.

Bill O'Reilly is not to be messed with...unless you of course you're name is Barack Obama. "I have more power than anybody other than the president," he says in a Newsweek profile this week, meant to coincide with the release of his co-written book, Killing Lincoln.

The Fox News host has turned fifteen years on-air into cable news largest viewership, and -- as far as he, himself, is concerned -- nearly unprecedented power. "I can get things changed, quickly," he says. "I don't have to go through the legislative process; I don't have to do any of that. I can just bring it to the people, and say, look, this has gotta be dealt with."

Through the years, he has been able to get nearly anyone he's wanted on his show, and once he's got them, there's no telling what he'll do. But for most, it's worth it. "They get huge, huge currency," O'Reilly says, in regards to the tough questions he makes his guests face. "I mean, the upside is just enormous."

Hey, awesome.  Bill-O likes being a egomaniacal dictator type, a kingmaker par excellence, the ultimate alpha male.  And when the people ignore you, Bill?  What then?

Hey, run for office, test that theory.
