Jennings to O'Reilly-"If you knew how to use a telephone...
which I know you don't"

BO:"Now you wanna you're gonna do your coverage on the ABC internet digital TV because ABC won't give you more than an hour a night, which they shouldn't either because no one is watching this in broad numbers now-are you on this to provide ANALYSIS because it's not enough hard news..

Jennings:Excuse my Bill if you knew how to us a telephone which I know you don't...

BO:No I don't (not really getting that he just got insulted and he isn't even in the same league as Jennings)

Jennings:...can watch gavel to gavel coverage of ABC NOW in the internet-you can also go to digital cable when you get back to your hotel room if you can figure out which number it is on...

Later on

Jennings:I thought I was going to be talking to 8 people and a GOAT and I wasn't to sure about the 8 people but the first two nights have been the largest audience on AOL, just one of the providers, has had in its history so maybe there is some consistency with the polls where people tells us this the most important election of their lives.....

6. Jennings was cool as a cucumber

I know some people here don't like him but that is the national news I watch. Jennings never attended college-he went to work in journalism from the getgo.

O'Reilly was trying to diminish what was happening at the convention (surprise) and Jennings said that it was important and relevant (see the AOL numbers alone*) and that it was important to cover it...later on he mentioned that the Republican convention was going to be the same and O'Reilly either missed that/he changed the subject.

Very cool loooooooong slow wet ________ slap of O'Reilly (grad of the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard-after "Hard Copy").

2. Bill O'Reilly has no idea there is a C-Span
I wonder if he knows there is something called a world wide web that carries information in addition to delivering email.

3. Of course he knows there's an internet
That's how he gets his porn. And his ideas for shitty erotic scenes in his books.
