I am not a big fan of Bill O'Reilly, but why is he doing the job of the Main Street Media by himself? Why are the Republicans so mute?
TUNE IN NOW!
BOR is going to talk about the romantic involvement with a Fannie Mae executive.
We know the drill folks, but tune in while SOMEONE in the media is bothering to cover the facts.
No, but a hamster died.

I guess Barney musta sneezed and crushed the poor little thing.
Someone should be raising questions about Frank’s relationship with Herb Moses, who was Fannies assistant director for Fannie product initiatives wile Frank was on the House Banking Committee (with jurisdiction over Fannie)
We've been asking that same question - no, more like crying in the wilderness - for how long now?
Personally, I think the answer is Fear.
Barney: I’m gonna be fwank with you!
BOR: But it’s my turn to be Frank!
Barney Fag’s motto is drill baby drill. Unfortunately, it will only drive up the demand for petroleum jelly.
where do you get your white flags?
Can Franks' lover be implicated in the Failure of Fannie/ Freddie? Can this guy tie Franks to Fannie/Freddie?
I NEVER said this shouldn't come out, I just think it won't help McCain much if at all.
But O’Reilly dissmissed the Obama/Ayers connection. “Isn’t this old news, Juan? ... It’s old news to us. ... Juan, isn’t this old news?”
Yes. They’ve been afraid to come out hard on Obama until now because they know they will be accused of racism. And they wont bring up Franks lover who worked for Fannie Mae because they are afraid of being called homophobic.
We know the drill
Butt, not like Barney's buddy did!
It is about time!
Barney should resign, but he’s a dem, so nothing will happen.
Franks is a snake jut like Obama. I'm sure I'm missing something but I wonder how this will help McCain/Palin?
We use the term main stream media not to imply that it is within the main stream of American culture. On the contrary, the MSM only reflects mainstream culture insofar as it shapes it. It is, however, the mainstream as regards the media, and we use the appelation to differentiate between it and the conservative media.
By the way, so-called “yellow” journalism was less partisan than the current MSM. Pulitzer and Hearst wrote stories to sell papers, not to promote a particular worldview. I’m not sure they even had a worldview, outside of vulgar convention. Remember the newspaper tycoon in The Fountainhead? As soon as he tried to force the public to support Howard Roark, he lost his public.
Be careful how you phrase that .... /LOL
Jersey (Bayonne to be exact) produced him, Massachusetts (Brookline to be exact) elected him. He will have this seat as long as he wants.
It’s like a 527. Look, people KNOW Frank is a scumbag, those who know who he is. BOR isn’t by any means a publican shill. He may be friends with McCain, he may not, I’m not sure.
So Barney had a “Fannie” man?
I knew about ‘hot bottom’- Stephen Gobie. Barney will keep getting reelected, though.
Thanks O’Butthead.
on occasion you do right hoss
I wishy O’Reilly would educate himself on the cause of this financial crisis (or maybe he doesn’t want to tell the full story). He keeps talking about Wall Street greed, and even said tonight that WS sold mortgages to people who couldn’t afford them, then bundled and resold them, leaving out several steps before WS even saw any of those mortgages.
He really doesn’t seem to understand how this happened, and if he ever starts with the Community Reinvestment Act, then discusses the loosened loan requirements and pressure to make high risky loans by the Clinton administration, then I’ve missed it. He didn’t hit Frank with all he could have, and by far the worst negligence, and seeds of this crisis, are a decade old or more.
O’Reilly just keeps going on about Wall Street and fairly recent matters as if he doesn’t know the longer running story.
