The question he should have asked was:
Why does anybody care what two overweight bloviating loudmouth doofuses like us thing?

Could this thing possibly be a little more overblown, really people, OReilly stopped being interesting the day his rating came close to Larry King, that's when he sold out and became all about outrage and volume. Who cares what he has to say to anybody, much less an equally uninteresting michael Moore.

...he and Michael could not get off the WMD DEAD HORSE issue.

The Left does not get the point that WMD's or not, the US now knows for sure. That's a big question to know a certain answer to.

Was it worth a thousand US lives to invade Iraq? Only history and the people who will not be blown up by a nuclear weapon made in Iraq and placed in Boston by Al Qaeda will know for sure. Hussein had options and chose not to use them. Israel was getting close to using the "Samson Option" against the Baghdad support of the suicide bombers. This left the US with only one option. Invade Iraq to find out for sure and to remove Hussein and the funds for suicide bombers in the process. Hussein's money was a "WMD" in its own way.

O'Reilly is sooooo tiresome...his endless pandering to the Libs who do watch his show so they won't go elsewhere...he must constantly push his "independence" and his harangue that, " the other side does it, too."
He says this no matter how offensive the Lib behavior being described and without the "proof" that he demands from viewers that write in with their complaints.

O'Reilly failed BIG TIME !

First of all...Is he bigger than the convention ? Granted the convention is boooooring, but I am sick of pundits ! Talk AFTER the event, not during.

Moore cleaned his clock. O'Reilly stammered...and he is the biggest school yard bully on t.v. He embarrassed himself imo, and I thought Moore (who I have no use for by the way )..had a better demeanor, better argument for his "cause", and was talking with conviction.

O'Reilly had upper most in mind ONLY to make a fool out of Moore..and WIN THE BIG EVENT. He is a " fake , phoney fraud " (ala/Bob Grant ! )

Ditto here. I was really expecting something incendiary, and Bill was his usual namby-pamby softballer. Waste of time. And Bill kept hyping it like it was going to blow us out of the water. It didn't.

I like O'Reilly but I think he dropped the ball last night. I suck and I could have handled Moore better than that.

Exactly. I was rather disappointed in O'Reilly's inabiltiy to directly and firmly answer Moore's comment about sending kids over there. I was hoping he'd chew him up. It seemed as if he backed off of Moore-and I think he shouldn't have.

Hannity would have just started yelling and talking over Moore, and nothing would have been heard except Hannity.

O'Really is spinning his interview with Moore on his radio program. He's actually glorifying himself much more than his usual self-promotion. Let me quote him directly:

"...Moore could not answer the questions..."

"...there are NO WMDs found at all. But Bush didn't deceive, he was mistaken..."

"...I received 20,000 e-mails so far..."

"There ARE PEOPLE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ISSUES THAT ARE WRONG. They are irrational...stay away from them [strongly implies he is not irrational whereas Freepers and Moore-supporters are irrational]"

(In O'Really's classic annoying tone) oooooo-kay?! Okay.

Here is a portion of my email to O'Reilly:

O'Reilly,

Moore is an anarchist. You laid down and rolled over for him. The only thing you didn't let him do was rub your quivering little tummy. Your so-called interview was a demonstration of what a member of the media does to get "the big one" on air. You sold out.

I used to watch BOR every night. Now, I maybe tune in once a week, if at all! He is riding the coat tails of the Fox News Network and could never pull off a show on his own on another network. I find him neither informative nor interesting any more. He is more about promoting BOR than anything else!

How 'bout "You've admitted that you don't really care if what you portray on the screen is accurate and truthful, as long as it gets your point across. And you express great disgust that 'Bush lied'. Why is all right for you to lie and yet outrageous if Bush does?"
