For a guy who says he takes the side of the working man, Bill O'Reilly has some trouble distinguishing between a tire shop and a trailer park.

On "The O'Reilly Factor" Monday, the Fox News commentator interviewed neighbors of presidential candidate John Edwards in Orange County.

Introducing the segment, O'Reilly noted that a reporter spoke with four residents of a "trailer park where working-class Americans live" across the street from Edwards' home.

"We couldn't find anybody in the trailer park to say anything nice about John Edwards," O'Reilly said.

But the people were interviewed at Big Valley Auto Repair, not a trailer park.

Though none of them are named, they were garage owner Danny Hulon; his live-in girlfriend, Trish O'Neal; property owner Monty Johnson; and a customer, Ronnie Lilly, according to Hulon.

He said the film crew came by about two weeks ago. Hulon said that there are some manufactured homes down the street on individual lots, but "it's not really a trailer court."

Johnson is a well-known critic of Edwards who has been in the news before.

What? O'Reilly said he interviewed residents of a trailer park, none of whom actually live in a trailer park.

Just because there is one down the street doesnt mean he is correct.

So you say O'Reilly is wrong, that there isn't a trailer park across the street. Then you say there are "manufactured homes" down the street.

Me thinks thou dost protest too much. If your house wasn't built on your property, you live in a trailer park.
