Is O'Reilly an idiot? How did this guy get so popular with you conservatives in the USA? Maybe it is good I can't get Foxnews in Canada.

Clinton, an accused rapist and at best a person who committed sexual harassment, as the SOS? That has to be one of the most insane things I have ever heard.

Does O'Reilly remember that before the election Clinton was one of the people slamming Bush43 and the military for taking forces away from Afghanistan to fight in Iraq when in reality this did not happen according to Tommy Franks.

Now tell me Mr. O'Reilly, does Bush43 and any other sane person hire a person that slams the other person?

Based on how Clinton handled terrorism in the 1990s, it is my opinion that Clinton would be a disaster for SOS or any other federal government position in the Bush43 administration. Didn't Bush43 have to go through the headache of a democrat in a position of power at CIA? Why would he turn around and put Clinton in charge of SOS?

Since you guys have to put up with Peter Jennings and John Roberts, my recommendation to Bush43 would be to send Clinton to Canada with O'Reilly. Fortunately there is a lot of space up here so they will stay out of my way.

Bill O'Blowhard should get out of advising on politics and take over one of FOX's endless, meaningless trial spectacles.

"who is orielly and who cares what he has to say?"

You are right about that; I am astonished that so many stupid people are paid so much for acting stupid on TV.

Bill O'Reilly wants Clinton as Sec. of State. He's really going off the deep end.

The only foreign affairs DIRT-XXX-POTUS would really pay attention to end with him shedding his attire.

BORe has such a distorted view of "fair and Balanced" I would have expected him to reflect on Arafat's life works by balancing parents of Israeli nursery school students murdered by Arafat's terrorists with proud parents bragging how there teenage sons attained heaven and 72 virgins by murdering the nursery school students.

I had the show on but I was not paying full attention. Did Bill O actually say this? Was it maybe tongue-in-cheek? Was it during the segment with Tony Snow? If so, how did Tony respond?

I'm not defending Yosemite Bill. I'd just like to see the remark in context.

I also heard this blowhard wants Rummy out. Orielly sealed any potential political aspirations with his dirty talk and thus he wants to lay the foundation for future tricks in clintons world.

He's stated several times that Kerry lost because he didn't let the people know who he was and that an appearance on his show would have done wonders to alleviate that.

He said the same about gore. He's a complete fool.

I change the channel after Special Report, just be sure I don't have to hear his stoopid show.

I'm speechless. Is O'reilly this stupid or is he being ridiculous just to generate controversy and perhaps a few more dolts to watch his stupid show.

How did this guy get so popular with you conservatives in the USA?

I'm a lifelong American, and I can't answer that question.

I guess it's because he talks like he's talking tough, and occasionally is slightly out of step with the MSM.

It was during Talking Points.

Here is the link and below are the paragraphs:
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,138688,00.html

QUOTES FROM NOV 15, 2004 TALKING POINTS (It is labeled Nov 16, but I think that was a mistake.)

And now I'm going to be controversial. Now, I know the word is Condoleezza Rice (search) will get the job. And she is absolutely brilliant and very loyal to President Bush, but I would replace Secretary Powell with Bill Clinton.Yikes! The former president probably wouldn't take the job, but if he did, countries like France, Germany, and Spain would like the move, perhaps cooperate more with America. Add Canada and Indonesia to that group as well.

Mr. Clinton is a smart guy, knows the players and the issues, and has clout, especially in the Palestinian-Israeli arena. So there you go, bold move, little downside, maybe big benefits. But I'm sure President Bush isn't going to do it.

And that's "The Memo."

Bill Clinton's "legacy" is getting BJs while Al Qaeda waged war on the United States. Not even Maureen Dowd would suggest making this national embarrassment Secretary of State.

I was always baffled by the appeal O'Reilly had for conservatives. Hopefully, conservatives now see the truth about the man.
