As if the O’Reilly interview with Obama airing on the day of the McCain speech wasn’t bad enough, especially after learning that O’Reilly had agreed to the interview in JUNE, and to ask no embarassing questions, wasn’t bad enough. O’Reilly went on to praise Obama as a stand up comedian for his Letterman riff on Palin and the lipstick. O’Reilly played the whole thing and laughed at loud. My husband says that O’Reilly stated that Obama would be our next president. I didn’t hear that, but it wouldn’t surprise me.
Now, I know why O’Reilly has come out for Obama. He wanted the Palin interview and I don’t think that he is getting it because of what he did with the Obama interview. Hannity announced at the end of his show that he had some wonderful news about an interview that was coming up, that he couldn’t tell us about, yet.
O’Reilly was putting down the Charles Gibson interview with Sarah Palin, saying that he would be much tougher on her than Gibson would be. No wonder, the McCain campaign refused to do an interview with O’Reilly.
I’m not going to watch his Obama chronicles, either. I’m sure that they are just going to be puff pieces on Obama, all arranged with the campaign’s approval.
Great points, Eva. Interesting that you think Hannity landed Palin??
Here’s another O’Reilly oddity - his now almost daily advertising for the obscure DailyKos (pretend outrage?) lends me to believe he may actually be profiting from his promotion of the liberals. He is constantly selling something.
