O'Reilly confesses he is not smart enough to grasp issue - then proves it

O'REILLY: I'm not smart enough to grasp this....

All, they have ethanol for all of their automobiles. Brazil. I mean, they still have people in Brazil running around with their little darts, hitting you in the head with the poisoned darts, with the loincloths. They still have 'em down there. And they're driving an ethanol vehicle. After they hit you with the poisoned dart, OK, they get into their ethanol vehicle and drive back into the Amazon to do whatever they do there. Eat tapioca, whatever.

But we can't have it here. We don't have it. What we have is oil that we have to pay $3.33 a gallon for. And where does that money go? It goes to Hugo Chavez, OK, who's sitting there in Venezuela figuring out how he can have crooked elections, funding communist insurgencies throughout Central and South America. It goes to oil sheikhs who are sitting there giving it to Al Qaeda so they can blow up babies in India, as they did today.
Actually, the more I look at this, ignoring his ignorant xenophobia, this is one of the more intelligent things he's said. Why aren't we driving around in ethanol, and hybrid, and hydrogen and electric cars?
