You know it just doesnt make sense..."Jump the shark".

It sounds like something George Costanza would say...kinda like "Jerkstore". You cant "jump" something when you're already in the water [where you'd need to be in order to actually "jump" over a shark]...it just does not make sense.

Besides...it's a cheesy media driven saying. Let it go.

O'Reilly is niether left nor right, he is a populist. You guys sound like the people whose letters he reads at the end of his show, who accuse him of being both a liberal and a right-winger at the same time. He IS NOT a far-left liberal. This is a guy who hates the ACLU, Hollyweird halfwits like Michael Moore, supports putting troops on the border, and supports the WOT.

First, nobody tells me to let anything go. Second, you don't know what you're talking about.

Here's a little history lesson on the origins of the saying, Jump The Shark. Do a little research before you attempt to give anyone marching orders. http://www.jumptheshark.com/

The saying is based on a Happy Days episode where Fonzie "jumped a shark" while water skiing. The ratings of Happy Days went downhill, shrply, after that episode (but not necessarily because of it). TIme will tell the point at which O'Reilly has "jumped the shark." The ratings tell the entire tale, and can only be viewed in retrospective.
