:...(O'Reilly's) rise to the top has surprised him
and his ego has taken control of his mind.
He is about to implode.
Remember, what goes up has to come down,
and what goes up quickly comes down faster.

************************

O'reilly didn't have any sudden "rise to the top."
He's been aroung for decades.

He spent years as a foreign correspondent,
as an example covering the Fauklins War
between England and Argentina.
Though America supported England,
and thus were considered an enemy,
O'Reilly covered the war from within Argentina,
and came close to losing his life at lease once.

He covered the Indian rebellion in Mexico,
again going deep into the dangerous areas,
even areas that the Mexican Army wouldn't go into.

Then he worked for years working
for a major network as a TV correspondent,
and won many national awards
for his incisive investigative journalism,
and for his excellent coverage of the news.

THEN he got his cable news show,
and became a household name.

He worked for his position.
I'm only surprised it took so long
for him to develop a national following.

He only rose to national prominence with his Book which I read and found to be so junvenile in scope it was funny. His obsorption with class discrimination stems from his days in Harvard and not being one of the in guys. Where parents of students who work are guilty of defiling the system. Most Harvard parents are lawyers, stock brokers , insurance brokers, or simply manage the family fortune, none of which are regarded as working.

I never said or suggested that Bill had not worked at being a journalist/ reporter, but until he got his Fox gig not many were aware of him. He was not a household word. I enjoy seeing people who work for it suceed, and that incudes O'Reilly. But the present unbearable size of his head may prove to be difficult for him to support.
