wasn't that interview with Schumer hysterical? I can't believe this didn't warrant its own thread, but when O'Reilly reminded Chuckie that Bush is the biggest spending President ever, Schumer replied something to the effect of "I know, he just can't say no, he just passes whatever we put in front of him." So, basically, Schumer was criticizing the President for agreeing with Democrats. I literally gasped out loud.

So it's his show, so what? The people voted and they didn't want to see an interview. He is doing the will of the people. I like O'Reilly. So he gives his opinion, it's his talk show. I don't agree with him on everything, but that does not matter. My undies don't get in a wad over it. I think he gives good questions on both sides.

Exactly. He likes things about both sides of the isle. Why don we have to always have a label for people? Why can't he have opinions? Sheesh.

Concentrate on beating Hillary on issues (by asking her for specifics when she throws up a platitude) not by trying to tear down her character. Most people already know she doesn't have one, and for some, it wouldn't matter if she did.

Yup!

O'Reilly has been good on the whole Katrina mess. He's pointed out the Bush-bashing while refraining from it himself. As opposed to the "conservatives" on MSNBC.

O'Reilly is a blowhard, but he made the right call here.

The moonbat cries that Hillary is a lezbo commie beotch have the effect of drowning out credible questions about her sleazy dealings. Thus, the former ought to be firmly discouraged.

Ironic huh? BOR going off the deep end while he complains that he is never interviewed by NPR without bias.

As an outsider - media man reporting on others' antics - for so many years - BOR's demons include a manic need to be in control and to be seen as part of the in-crowd...this has been obvious many times in interviews with the "high and mighty". He particularly enjoys tearing into small time pols who haven't done enough on child abuse legislation etc.

And let us never forget what he is: an entertainer.

Nonetheless, your phrase was from the book of Proverbs in the Old Testament.

Probably right. He struts his stuff on the safe issues such as child molesters/killers and minor corrupt officials and the 'ding-bat' UN, but teeters on the war in Iraq and appears to be pro Bush or anti Bush as the situation warrants. If the whole country suddenly went liberal I believe he would be there big time. A typical fence sitter.

As we were saying last week (posts 8 and 12):

I caught a little bit of a mutual admiration society going on between BOR and Chuckie Schumer last night.

Caught that also. All smiles, winks and nods. What's funny is O'Reilly insisting upChuck will vote for Roberts. Right.

O'Reilly didn't read the book. I've heard the reviews too and thought that certain parts were way over the top. Mrs. jimfree read the "offending" parts to me during a drive from MA to MD. They were fluff. Bill O did not read the book! Mrs. jimfree, who tolerated my parachuting into Ohio for the 72 hour GOTV effort last November, is ready to pack her chute and go anywhere necessary to keep HRC out of the Oval Office. Bill O did not read the book and has no credibility commenting on it.

O'reilly and Trump are the new President and National Security Advisor. The criticizing they do is unbelievable. The both of them are the horses ass.
