What Say You Now, Billo?

Remember when Bill O'Reilly, referring to 15-year-old Shawn Hornbeck, who had been kidnapped and held captive for four years, insisted that the kid could have left but chose not to, that "I think when it all comes down, what's going to happen is, there was an element here that this kid liked about his circumstances"?

Well, guess what.

A Missouri man accused of kidnapping two boys and holding one for more than four years was charged Monday with forcible sodomy.
Looks like O'Reilly was right—because everyone knows how kids just love being repeatedly raped. Allegedly.

(Via Shayera, who mentions that "IMDB is reporting that Lowe's pulled their commercials from O'Reilly's show specifically because of those statements.")
