"O’Reilly is an idiot. He really is. Blowhard and idiot. He almost makes me cringe sometimes when he’s talking to somebody with real brains such as Brit Hume, Charles Krauthammer or Karl Rove. He doesn’t have the command of facts and detail he needs to be discussing about half of what he talks about.."

Exactly. But then neither do the biggest portion of his viewers so he gets away with it.

He is also very petty and vindictive as a result of his extremely thin skin. Here's merely one, out of many instances, that can be cited:

"As I recall what brought Bill O'Reilly to say that someone should kill Matt Drudge shows exactly how petty Mr. O'Reilly can be.

"Drudge had posted the news that O'Reilly was starting a radio show and it was believed that O'Reilly thought that he could take on and defeat Rush.

"O'Reilly denied that he was starting a radio show.

"Drudge persisted even stating that O'Reilly was paying stations to take his show.

"For days O'REilly had some pretty nasty (hateful?) things to say about Drudge -- then there was that Imus show statement that someone should kill Matt Drudge. O'Reilly's emphasis.

"Shortly after that he started his radio show."

Drudge would sometimes playback O'Reilly's "someone should kill Matt Drudge" comments as a lead-in to his (Drudge's) Sunday night live radio show. WLW's (Cincinnati) Bill Cunningham now does the show.

I do not have a TV and have never seen O'Reilly's show. I used to listen to his radio show but I stopped listening when O'Reilly trashed Viet Nam war veterans opposing Kerry to curry favor with Kerry -- O'Reilly wanted Kerry on his TV/radio shows and, post election, stated that he and Kerry were friends.

No spin? My gosh O'Reilly's a whirling dervish!
