The 'Sheriff of Wall Street' may be soon coming to a screen near you.

Sacked former U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara is angling for a show on CNN or MSNBC for his next move, a source tells the New York Post.

Bharara, who made his name in the powerful Southern District of New York prosecuting financial crime and public corruption, wants to launch 'a half-investigative reporting, half Larry King-type show, [where] he can be the special correspondent,' the source told the Post.

'He’s trying to be a liberal Bill O’Reilly,' the source claimed.

Hold on. Think about that a minute.

Liberal/O'Reilly...

BOTH of them ought to tell you something.

“What the **** is a Preet Bharara? Never heard of him.”

This is the sick sycophant tool that Obama used to jail Dinesh D’Souza for having an non-state approved voice.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Preet wants to be the liberal BOR.

Is there a conservative BOR?

[GOPJ]

Al Franken started Air American - he wanted to be the next Rush Limbaugh... This is amazingly stupid ...

We already have a liberal “Bill O’Reilly”. His name is Bill O’Reilly.

I thought Dinesh D'Souza already had a job lined up for him:

LMAO.

FWIW, I came across this old link from 2009 regarding Preet:

  Note: The line:

  "He also served as national finance chairman for the DSCC when it was headed by Sen. Chuck Schumer, which is sort of ironic, considering that Bharara was, until very recently, (NYT)working as chief counsel to the senior senator of New York.

Oh, man. Not THIS garbage again. No conservative will EVER be like you or to your liking. Why make the rest of us suffer your inner-mental pangs of torture?

[InABunkerUnderSF]

But... I thought Bill O’Reilly was the liberal Bill O’Reilly?

[Seruzawa]

Great! He can join the ranks of other wildly successful liberal talk show hosts. Luminaries like..... er..... ah.... hmmm...

Note to Preet: radio talk show listeners generally have jobs. You need to go on TV to get the welfare crowds.

Ummmm - didn’t Al Franken try that? It was a bomb.

[Steely Tom]

Ummmm - didn’t Al Franken try that? It was a bomb.

It was a bomb with the national audience, but it helped him get a seat in the United States Senate.

[TigersEye]

He wants to do a “Total Spin Zone?”

[meyer]

Must have struck a nerve...

[Gumdrop]

Actually what got Al Franken a seat in the US Senate was a car on the Iron range with a box in its trunk full of about 150+ ballots all miraculously with votes for Al.
