Quotables: Jennifer Aniston Fires Back at Bill O’Reilly

“Of course, the ideal scenario for parenting is obviously two parents of a mature age. Parenting is one of the hardest jobs on earth. And, of course, many women dream of finding Prince Charming (with fatherly instincts), but for those who’ve not yet found their Bill O’Reilly, I’m just glad science has provided a few other options.”

Har-har-har, cute, Jennifer Aniston. I just love your Susy Sunshine-brand of humor. No, but really, all joking aside: Bill O’Reilly is an asshat. (Read: His head is so far up his ass that he could wear his ass — as a hat — should he so desire.) And I agree 100% with Jennifer Aniston on her initial remarks about parenting, because all she was really saying was that the face of the ‘traditional’ family is changing. Which it is, and will continue to do so as long as humans and society continue to evolve. And there’s not a whole lot wrong with that. I’m not siding with the fact that a lot of people say that a single-parent family is where it’s at, ’cause I do believe that the optimal situation would be for two loving parents to be present in a home, raising a child with the greater good in mind. But not every situation can pan out in the way we all individually see fit.

I’m not sticking up for Bill O’Reilly — because we are not friends, and I am not a fan — but I have one final point: if Jennifer Aniston was a mother, and not a totally self-sufficient multi-million-dollar money-making movie star — oh, and a single mom, too — she might feel differently.

Can this whole ‘battle’ be over now?
