Oh..'What the heck?'

[Tribune7]

Hey, it's just part of a strategy to fight the overwhelming conservative bias in the meda.

[skeeter]

Kaplan, a Clinton friend for 30 years, said the president gave Alexis an "amazing" 2 ½-hour White House tour. "It was extremely nice of him to do it. In the waning months of his presidency, I felt, 'What the heck?'"

Its a good thing that ABC has at it's helm a man of such superior judgment.

[Tacis]

Actually, who cares? ABC's news/special events coverage could only move further to the left if they began broadcasting in Russian. It is ultra-liberal, anti-American and anti-Bush and it will stay that way.

A presstitute getting involved in political activity and advsing a politician? Please!!! This is of interest to the ultra-left wing media only if it involves a non-commie, otherwise, who cares.

We certainly wish Willie and his sleazes all the best. Having friends at ABC should really help him score chicks and whatever else he uses.

Who else but a man so morally bankrupt would allow the rapist such access to his 21-year-old daughter?

[IowaHawk]

Good ol' Rick Kaplan, the Flying Dutchman of the newz biz. He goes from network to network, destroying everything in his path.

[aristeides]

O'Reilly hates Kaplan (who fired him at one point earlier in his career). I wonder if he will have anything to say about this.

What's funny is that when I read the headline...it took me a minute to remember what "FOB" stood for.....maybe Bubba is hurtling at fullspeed on the road to irrelevancy?

[RoseofTexas]

Seems all the players are almost in place for the HITLERY 2004 prsidential run! Mark my words, these bastards are in place to slam to the high degree W's re-election run. If you think Jeb was taken through hell and back, wait til you see and hear what these clymers have instore for our W!!

[holyscroller]

"It's no fun to watch big stories breaking on television "and not have responsibility for any of them," Kaplan said...."

Well I sure hope the upcoming war will be "fun" for Kaplan. I rather doubt that he'll have his sought-after "responsibility" for the outcome though.

[mewzilla]

Rick Kaplan is rejoining ABC News for three months to oversee special events coverage...

Interesting timing, ain't it? Who needs al Jazeera?

BOYCOTT DISNEY: a vortex of seductive evil™

[Howlin]

Do we have an official list of boycotts? I can't keep up anymore!

I thought that, but let you say it. ;)

You got FR, Freedom fries and Mom's apple pie!

[Grampa Dave]

More of the same old same old by the Mouse, Eisner!

[Liz]

Kaplan's a Clinton worshipper first and foremost.

[Grampa Dave]

Don't you just love the head Mouse/Rat at the All Bill Clintoonian network, and the other rats in ABCNNNBCBS as they keep trying the same old losing game plans as their news nets become more irrelevant each day!

O'Reilly is far from the only network news personality that hates Rick Kaplan.
