O'REILLY Taking a Look at Run for Prez
Advertisements [?]
Well, if Shrub, Ahhhnuld, Dennis MILLER can have megalomaniac thoughts and Zell can be a "Democrat", repulsive strangeness is certainly not beneath O'REILLY. The good part is that he has this strong streak of paranoia, always claiming that Far Left ideologues are out to discredit him. It was Tucker CARLSON who said O'REILLY's facade is susceptible to instant crumbling (will look for a link on that). In the meantime, have a laugh:

But the most interesting thing about O'Reilly isn't "The Reagans," or Al, or even the train wreck of a lawsuit. It's this little question: Bill O'Reilly for president? ....

"I may take a look" at running and "certainly the option is open if I want it. But what I want to do over the next few years here is clean up the process. We have the bad guys on the run - no question about that."

While he says there have been "lots of offers" to run against Clinton someday for her Senate seat (there are four years left on his Fox contract), he also quickly adds, "I'd lose.... It'd be a fun race I'd drive her crazy, but she would ultimately win." Besides, he has no interest in the Senate: "I'm not a quid pro guy" who'd have to play at pork-barrel politics to bring "goodies" back to the state.

The prize would be the White House, but "the country's not interested in an independent candidacy. Maybe in 10 years they will be, but right now, you have 50 percent of Americans who don't know anything - they're totally disengaged from the process, the 'Mall People.' They don't know anything, don't watch the news or listen to radio or read the newspapers. The other 50 percent - and there was a recent poll on this - are a third crazy left and third crazy right and third in the middle. So the pie you're going for is a very narrow pie." ....
