5. I think this may be the page as you edited it.
Remember, wikipedia stores prior versions and keeps a history of edits.

7. Wikipedia is not for funny pictures.
It is supposed to be objective.

8. Dude....
as a fellow leftie, who puts a lot of effort into making sure the reich-wing doesn't put all kinds of intolerant and vandalisng crap in wikipedia, let me say:

1. Thanks for the laugh!
2. Could you put that great sense of humor to work on wikipedia in ways that will help the left, but won't be removed for vandalism?

For example:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You_forgot_Poland

Allows the Moron's words to be immortalized, will likely last for a long time in wikipedia, and can provide a good link-out jumping off point...

Anyways, thanks for the giggle!

:D

9. Wikipedia archives all pages when revised (Link + Commentary)...
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bill_O%27Reilly_%28commentator%29&oldid=25633307

That said, it's probably not the best thing to go around defacing pages on Wikipedia. The site is supposed to retain an aura of neutrality and objectivity, and to replace an image in a reference article on Bill O' Reilly with that of Joseph McCarthy simply does not fit in with the objectives of the project.

While it was perhaps an apt reference, ultimately, Wikipedia is NOT the place for it.

10. 2 More Recurrent Distractions-uh-THEMES, Plus an O'LOOFAH Link
In his post-lawsuit life, he has seized upon two "themes", much larger than himself, to subsume his own corruption, to make himself out to be a servant of higher, more indisputable causes than his own puny failings:

1) "Lenient" judges who give relatively low sentences to child abusers.

2) Illegal immigration.

Now, either of those issues could find legitimate advocates, but it is so clear that this fellow, who should be slunk over in a cave out of shame for himself, is clearly using them for his self-aggrandizing and self-righteous purposes. If there is anything more "RIDICULOUS" than O'LOOFAH being SELF-RIGHTEOUS, I don't know what it is.

A couple of other items: It was Bob SCHIEFFER who "bigfooted" O'LOOFAH over a story during the Brit-Argentine "war" (what was the name of that big WAR?) that caused him to quit CBS in a snit.

And more should be made over his Chickenhawk status--great quote in his false outrage at DONAHUE: "DON'T YOU disparage MY NEPHEW's military service!"
Here's chickenhawk O'LOOFAH receiving the VFW Errect Loofah Award
