Republicans have made fundamentally wrong choices for America, and instead embarked on a self-serving, morally righteous crusade that has touched and tainted everything from the Justice Department's US Attorney scandal, to the Iraq march to war and subsequent attempts to involve Iran as a part of a religious imperative to rid the world of Islam. Now it's time to pay the piper...

I hit on this a few days ago in a post titled "McCain's Dirty Little Money Secrets", and now a defiant and arrogant Cindy McCain is back in the news this morning, and once again its news of her own making. She's the kind of trouble John McCain just doesn't need -- but as far as I can see McCain has no chance of keeping a lid on the problems she will create for his candidacy.

Tsk O'Reilly has fallen into the trap of the other talk-show hosts. FoxNEWS is slowly becoming one of the other MSM's with just a slightly different viewpoint (that's all).

- Deb... the one nice thing about Narcissists is they seldom talk about others....
- I'll go out on a limb here and wonder aloud if a certain harrasment case might have had some tiny effect on King O'Reilly's attitudes, vis aviv TV personalities.....

well maybe my comment should have been about Rush...(snicker)
Still, O'Reilly is all about O'Reilly..He only talks about what he's proven or what he has taken on as his agenda.
Rather has no defense for what he did. Ethics fell by the wayside and they bit him square in the ass.
Can't a narcissist thrive on self annointment? Isn't that what BO does? Annoints himself?

What is this mistake everyone keeps talking about in regard to Dan Rather? There was no mistake. It was an intentional hit piece aimed at the President. To call it a mistake minimizes what was done.

O'Reilly is a former CBS guy. Could he be angling for the Evening News job? I would think not, but you never know.

Steve L.,
It would be great theater to have O'Reilly reading the news. He could expand his popular "Reading Aloud Points" segment by reading the entire program while allowing the viewer to read along on their own teleprompters.
It would revolutionize the reading of news on television!

I'm thinking of launching a new cable news network. I'll call it the PNN (Pajama News Network).
I'll hire folks very much like Bill O'Reilly to read the assorted works of such pajamahadeen members as Jay Tea, Kevin Aylward, Paul and many more. Or I could just get the above to read their stuff for scale.
And to make it all the more entertaining, the audience could see what they were reading while they read it! Talk about 24/7/365 gold!
I know Andrew Sullivan is entertaining to read and also entertaining to see speaking extemporaneously, but has anyone actually had the divine pleasure of seeing Andrew Sullivan read his own written words out loud next to a teleprompter displaying those words? No, I think not.
This idea is in the seminal phase (we're still pre-fertilization and weeks from implantation) so if you don't want to see it aborted, contact me at my e-mail address and I'll let you know where to send your disposable/investable cash.

Well, yes, "extemporaneously" and "out his ass" can be used interchangeably (or if you prefer "six of one, half dozen of the other"). But I was writing to impress a girl.

O'Reilly _was_ the new media. Now he's feeling the same kind of heat at his backside the big three had been getting from Fox News.
He's afraid of the blogosphere, and is afraid of what it could do to somebody like him.
It's a stormy sea out there all of a sudden, so he's lashing himself to the wheel of a sinking ship.

I happen to like the Radio Factor. Personally I can't believe O'Riley defended Rather because his whole show is supposedly based on "fair and impartial discussion" of given topics. There was obviously some kind of bias introduced for some reason. Admittedly, I will continue to listen to the Factor on my way to school because, damn it, it's pretty freakin' entertaining!
