4. he's cool..

O'Really acted like a buffoon when confronted with facts.

8. That was a classic

My fave: when O'Reilly started mumbling how if the Feds raised taxes he would just retire and put 50 people out of work.

Krugman: "Oh yeah, Bill? Like under Clinton's term, when you had a successful TV show and were writing books?"

O'Reilly: "Well-er-a-*splutter**splutter*..."

3. I'm not an economist

But if I were -- he'd be my hero. In fact -- he may still be it.

9. Imagine that.. An actual real conversation on Tweety's show

Important as hell. I get the feeling idiotboy will have to raise taxes just like poppy. He may have no choice.
