The “Big Leprechaun,” as Rev. Manning calls him, seems to be laboring under the fantasy that Huseein will grant him another interview, something that he is so, so proud to have done during the campaign.

After the big WH vs FNC flap, O’Reilly will never get even a smell at another interview so he’d might as well straighten up and cover the story honestly.

Well said! O’Reilly is desperate to have another interview with Mr. Obama. He thinks he is being “moderate”, but he behaves more like another Obama sycophant.

“The “Big Leprechaun,” as Rev. Manning calls him, seems to be laboring under the fantasy that Huseein will grant him another interview, something that he is so, so proud to have done during the campaign.”

I agree.

O’Reilly, who pounded two hapless Democrats earlier in the program on Obama’s dithering over ordering more troops for Afghanistan, wants to create the impression that his program is an “Obama Safe Zone” on the BC issue, as if that would increase his chance for another interview.

But maybe O’Reilly is just trying to make his program emotionally “safe” for the large part of his audience that are independents and even Democrats and who can be reached and reasoned with and gently brought more over to the “right side” of his issues, but would be unable to emotionally cope with the potentially devastating implications of the BC issue.
