Just what am I to think?

From the use of so much ink.

By someone already passed on

To that land of great beyond.

Soon enough the man of arrogance and sinility

will find a tough row to hoe in the kingdom of ultimate humility.

Perhaps it is the fires of hell,

instead of the sound of the liberty bell.

Glad I’m not the judge. There but for demon rum, a bad upbringing, too much money, lust for power, gain, and influence, an Oldsmobile, a curvy road and narrow bridge, go the rest of us. NOT!

I can see O’Reilly at some point trying to take credit for having ‘made’ his ‘protege’ Beck.

Rush threw in an interesting minor point to the Teddy Kennedy legacy. He said that the left always held him up as a champion of the poor. Just wait until his will comes out and then we’ll see how much he really cared about them.

BOR did say I agree. BOR asked Beck if YOU think and Beck said no america has the right to know and BOR did say I agree.

Decide for yourselves if Glen Beck is full of crap. Sounds like Beck is onto these creeps.

“O’Reilly is so jealous of Beck, he can’t see straight.”

My observation is that BOR is in a state of shock. My guess is that (A)He never anticipated that Beck would/could steal his thunder, and (B) BOR is starting to seem old and tired, and his ‘schtick’ is getting worn.

Time to think about graciously retiring to the speech-giving circuit Billy Boy.

BOR has always had an elevated opinion of himself and that attitude is what has kept me from watching him most of the time.

I think Bill realizes that Beck is the new “star”


It’s about time. BOR can go pound sand.

I entered a Barnes & Noble bookstore the other day. The display table had about 150 copies of Kennedy’s book on it and a thin, granola-eating (I am not making this up) guy in his fifties picking the book up and examining it. As I walked by, I said, “I guess the letters C, O, M, and P are all silent.” He had a quizzical look on his face so I picked up a copy of the book and held my thumb over those four letters revealing the true title: TRUE ___ASS.

No doubt about it!

Last night was test night for O’Reilly,for me. I was getting tired of Bill treating Beck as a kook the last several times he was on and I decided to give him one more chance to be fair with him. Last night Bill past the test and I thought, for once, he kept the dialog fair. I predicted many months ago that Becks show would pass O’Reilly’s soon and looks like this is going to come true. As many of you have stated,there is no doubt that Bill is envious of Glenn’s rapid assent.

It’s getting to the point that unless Bill has Beck,Coulter,or Malkin on, the most exciting thing about the “Factor” is what word Bill will feature at the end of each show. LOL

If Beck had BoR’s timeslot, he’d be consistently pulling better ratings and viewership than BoR is right now. If I was Fox, I’d swap the two.

Did you not feel that O’Reilly came across a little like he was doubting Beck's investigation of associations of Obama and his Czar’s backgrounds and acquaintances. I mean O’Reilly seem to be insinuating that Beck was reading into Obama’s associations to much and that these assoications were sort of insignificant.

Your right! I find myself busy at 5:00 and forget to turn the TV on until it's to late, before Beck's program is off.

I usually turn off Fox until 9:00 for Hannity, but Hannity is becoming annoying with the left wing panels. So Beck is the information guy for me. Beck is the guy who is on the cutting edge of the news on all radical, liberal news and activity, that is tearing America apart!

BOR is in the tank for Obama, why, I don’t know.

That's a real stretch. Bill O'Reilly criticizes Obama constantly...and praises him sometimes. He was one of the first to challenge Obama's policies as socialism and say he didn't like Obama's income redistribution. He is vehemently against what Obama is doing to the CIA. That's not being in the tank. Chris Matthews, Evan Thomas, Maureen Down, Diane Sawyer, Keith Olbermann, et al. are in the tank. I think O'Reilly just tries to keep that "fair and balanced" approach, even if it might be artificial. I think the fact that liberals hate him with a passion gives some indication that he's not in the tank.

I'm not crazy about O'Reilly because he seldom has any useful opinions that make me think. Sometimes he has useful guests. But I think I get more out of Rush Limbaugh in 10 minutes than I do BOR in an hour.
