Bill O'Reilly Continues His Whining Over Letterman
Bill O'Reilly, (a.k.a. "that ass") after being put in his place by of all people David Letterman, felt a terrible need to defend himself after the Late Show episode he appeared on.

On his radio show and his TV show, he continued to argue his side of the point, like a school boy, beaten bloody in a fight in the yard, trying to explain to his classmates how "he didn't hurt me".

Pathetic!

3. Christmas is over...
... and O'Really needs something new to whine about. No surprise there. If it weren't for the extreme lack of communists around, O'Really might become the next incarnation of McCarthy.

17. Better point...
creating a enemy WHERE NONE EXISTS is typical of Reactionaries like O'Rielly and McCarthy.

25. Yeah, that, too...
... is appropriate. I've done so much research into that business that my head is swimming with it all. :) Here's just one instance of that: http://www.thebulletin.org/print.php?art_ofn=apr93cahn

What Anne Hessing Cahn outlines in the link above is just a variation on a theme which has been promoted by the right wing ever since the advent of the Committee on the Present Danger in 1949-50.

Cheers.

24. It's like the guy is actually trying to BECOME McCarthy. Even looks like
him, a little.

4. Congrats To DU'ers...No One Really Bit On This One
Yeah...I admit it...I tuned in to see what O'Blowhard was going to say about his bitchslapping on Letterman. I wasn't disappointed. He whined and moaned how Letterman "never watched the show" and how poor Bill is so misunderstood and how he (using his "we" and "us" identifiers) was a "traditionalist" while Letterman didn't respect him or his right to free speech.

As I predicted, Letterman hasn't said boo about this thing...he got his amusement with O'Reilly and has moved along. Eagles don't fly with turkeys.

Now I hope O'Reilly picks a fight with Olbermann...and I'm sure Keith does as well.

Eagles snatch turkeys and thin the herd (gaggle?) . . .

14. O'Really isn't that entertaining.
If he were, Dave would have an ongoing segment on his show devoted to him. Kind of a "Will He Float" thing.

5. Did Letterman mention it last night?
I meant to watch it but I fell asleep. I've been wondering if he said anything about it.

6. Yeah, I caught part of the radio factor on the way home from work
and he was not only bitching and whining about Letterman, but got very angry at callers (angrier than normal) and completely flipped out when one caller reminded him that US Soldiers have killed innocent Iraqis.

At one point, Bill spouted out something like "We're not the ones just randomly killing innocent Iraqis. We aren't the ones setting off the carbombs! Its not like we're just bombing them and killing indiscriminately!"

Uhh... Bill... Remember shock and awe? We were bombing. A lot. And chances are we killed a lot of innocent people.

13. I love John Stewart, but I wish he could have been a little more
like David Letterman with O'Reilly.

This was the best I've seen in a long while. Of course Al Franken did hand O'Reilly his ass, but there was a way that Letterman put Billy O'Reilly down that was indeed amusing.
