O'Reilly Gives Bush Two Months To Get Iraq Right: The COUNTDOWN Begins
(1 comments) August 20, 2007 Mark the date. That will be the day that Iraq will finally have to get its house in order. Oil deal in the parliamentary bank. Iraqi fighters taking over the fight from our boys. At least that's what Bill O'Reilly announced to the Folks™ on his radio show yesterday. He would be giving the Iraq situation two more months or it's adios as far as Bill is concerned.

HILLARY PROVES THE POWER OF SATIRE
I've written in the past that the secret political weapon available to presidential candidates is SATIRE. This week, Hillary Clinton proved my point.

An Open Letter To President Bush From Bob, The Stem Cell: Currently Waiting In A Freezer Until I Can Be Used For Researc
(1 comments) A lot of the guys in the freezer wanted to make their "lives" mean something. And then there are those who just want to throw their "lives" away. Adopt our idea and you help us all.

"(Bombing In Tikrit) Doesn't Mean Anything." Time for Veterans Boycott of The Factor?
(1 comments) Let it sink in. Yesterday's veterans. Today's military. Parents, wives, husbands, children of soldiers stationed in harm's way, Bill "I Support The Troops" O'Reilly, believes that, in the scheme of war and other living things, another bombing in Tikrit doesn't mean squat.

Attention Presidential Candidates: Get Real
(2 comments) If you want to run the most powerful country in the world you must stop masquerading as someone you're not. I realize you're trying to create an electable image. But wearing a costume or using props isn't going to make you any more electable, unless you're running to replace Carrot-Top.

The Paris Hilton Effect: Making Newspapers (And Comedy Writers) Obsolete
(1 comments) Unfortunately, with Paris fast-changing events, a 6PM taping of a Leno monologue could be dated by the time it airs...even on the east coast. Hell, if you go the bathroom, keeping your Internet columns up to date is a challenge.

CANNIBALS ON THE RIGHT: REPUBLICANS EATING THEIR OWN
With utmost appreciation to talk radio host, the glamouriscious Stephanie Miller and her mooks for creating the most apropos description from their own Republicans Eating Their Own segment, this past week Republicans not only ate their own, but before they even digested a good portion of George Bush, one of the administration's favorite right-sided carnivores actually praised...wait for it...wait for it...Hillary Clinton.

THE CLASS OF '07 MUST BE WILLING TO FAIL: An Unsolicited Commencement Speech
Life's solutions don't come down the chute, gift wrapped and ready to be opened any time we decide they should be. We have no idea if the very next effort won't provide us with our success. So why do we decide to quit before we reach our objective? Why do we let a single failure stop us?

DEFENDING O'REILLY: If Bill's A Rascist, So Was Lincoln
Bill tells us that there are people who "under the guise of being compassionate, want to flood the country with foreign nationals, unlimited, unlimited, to change the complexion -- pardon the pun -- of America. Now, that's hatred, too." And, as Bill puts it, it will "wipe-out the two party system," i.e. the end of the Republican party, the party that begot Abraham Lincoln.The same Abraham Lincoln who freed the slaves.

WELL SLAP MY FACE AND CALL ME MARY: O'REILLY COMES OUT OF THE CLOSET
(2 comments) Much of the reason to conceal who you are comes from the fear admitting who or what you're attracted to would affect what people think of you; that But sometimes, living with the lie can be more painful than accepting the very truth you've tried to hide. Certainly the last person who you'd think would be in fear or dishonest about who he is would be Bill. So you can imagine my surprise when Bill, a man's man, came out.

SPIRD: SMARTEST PERSON IN THE ROOM DISORDER
(1 comments) SPIRD symptoms include, but are not limited to: thinking you should know all the answers, thinking you have all the answers, bulging forehead blood vessels, shouting down the opposition and an impulsive need to demonize or ruin your adversary. Speaking of Bill O'Reilly.

O'REILLY: ROSIE IS PLACING MY FAMILY IN DANGER...And The T-Warrior Is Coming After Her!
(2 comments) So today, finally, Bill announced to a breath-holding world that he's not going to take it any more. God knows how he's been able to take it all this time without demeaning Rosie and battling back at the monster who is probably hiding outside his Long Island home - outside all of our homes - just waiting to pounce on our families, our freedoms and our troops.

O'REILLY'S PATRIOTIC MEMORIAL DAY MESSAGE
In a noble piece of fervent patriotism, America-lover, Bill O'Reilly chose to use his Memorial Day week column to denigrate the very people American soldiers are dying for...Iraqis and Americans. My guess is that he didn't have the space to disparage children with cancer.

MEMORIAL DAY - HONOR THE LIVES NOT THE NUMBERS
(3 comments) One cannot swathe war into a "right" or "left" issue. It is not a question of whether invading Iraq was right or wrong. It's an issue that goes to the heart of war -- real war, and its real consequences. Within its reality is a means to how we can truly pay tribute to those who have fallen, how we can sincerely identify with those families who have lost.

THE INTELLIGENCE THAT EVERYONE SAW? Did President Lie...Again?
(3 comments) Today the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence will release selected portions of pre-war intelligence in which the CIA warned the administration of the risk and consequences of a conflict in the Middle East. In fact, the CIA did tell the president that "toppling Saddam could lead to a dangerous period of internal violence and provide a boost to terrorists." Whoops.

PRESIDENT BUSH ADMITS TO CONSIDERING TREASON!
(5 comments) In one sequence during today's press conference, President Bush was able to twist reason so savagely that I'm surprised that the press didn't get up and dance. That is, except for the two correspondents whose children who were in danger from the terrorists.

PRESIDENT "LOOK! A COW!"
For any parent who has ever driven their city-fied children past the South Jersey countryside where cows roam and pavement is sparse, the "Look! A cow!" exclamation from your kid in the back seat is a sure sign that they were either not paying attention to what you've been saying to them or they were looking for something to distract you from the conversation altogether.

JON STEWART AND SATIRE UNDERMINING SOCIETY!
Dalrymple's argument with satire more befits the Right's noise machine that has long used a catchphrase or distortion to undermine serious debate (as well as the troops). Defective analysis and prognostication presented eloquently and/or loudly has not enhanced intelligent discussion as much as drowned out the common man's truths.

ndiana "Name-Calling" Researchers Respond To O'Reilly Lies
O'Reilly accuses us of methodological bias. Ironically, the procedures we used for the study are scientific practices to guard against the bias that Mr. Mitchell is so concerned about. Perhaps it will ease his concern to know that prior to publication, the study went through two rounds of anonymous peer review, passing rigorous inspection from the social science community.

O'Reilly Still Coward: Refuses To Interview Researchers He And His Producer Falsely Discredited
(1 comments) This is just another example of how Bill, who makes a living out of calling others liars, smear-merchants, hateful and other assorted attacks, is the the one who is actually on the hate-filled attacks. One might even call him a hypocrite. Bill has long been compared favorably with Joe McCarthy. But even McCarthy had the guts to show up on Ed Murrow's show.

FRIDAYS WITH MAHER-EE - Republican Party's Wordsmith Backs Obama
Maher's hour never fails to surprise, but last night on the webcast that follows the HBO hour, Luntz provided the kind of jolt that on network television would send shock waves through the political punditry cosmos.

IS O'REILLY AFRAID OF A GIRL...AND HER NAME-CALLING RESEARCH?

HEY BILL, HOW MANY FOX VIEWERS THINK SADDAM HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH 9/11?
(6 comments) Bill contended that "nothing on the right comes close to the vitriol of the left." Which means: Not Michael Savage. Not Freerepublic.com. Not Mark Levine. Not the Heritage Foundation. Not Neal Boortz. Not Rush Limbaugh. Not Richard Mellon Scaife. Not Glenn Beck. Not Dick Morris. Not Anne Coulter. Not even Bill O'Reilly.

Bad Luck Can Be The Best Luck of All. Hilton, Baldwin and Hasselhoff Have An Opportunity of a Lifetime
Paris Hilton, Alec Baldwin, David Hasselhoff, Britney Spears, Lindsey Lohan, Don Imus. It may seem to be more passenger list for the Titanic than role models for your kids, but looking past the celebrity, their plummeting reputations and escalating humiliation there lies grande opportunities. If not for them, then for us.

Tune In BillO Today. Should Be *%$#* Fun. And Rosa Brooks Helps.
(1 comments) The Indiana University study saying that Bill name-calls at least once every 6.8 seconds. Mu watch doesn't have a tenth of a second hand so I don't know if it's true. Still, the study is analogous to those government studies that prove the Sun is hot, or Bush Administration studies that say it isn't. We know the results before the first researcher puts on his white lab coat. No matter 6.8 or 7.3, this one is gonna be fun

Bill O'Reilly: "Edwards Doesn't Care About Terrorism"
my guess is that if John Edwards may make a decision based on not whether he has the gonads to sit opposite the no-spinster, but on whether he wants to give the time to someone who demeans him to the point of insult so egregious, that if true, Edwards would be rode out of town on a rail.

JON STEWART IS MORE A "RELIABLE SOURCE" THAN HOWARD KURTZ
(1 comments) But nowhere in this week's "Reliable Sources" was a discussion of how Stewart did the job the MSM seems hesitant to do: hold politician's feet to the fire. And in this case, Kurtz's media watch-dogging, missed seeing the dog attempting to pee on the truth. Those actually watching that interview couldn't miss it.

New Rule: We Need More Maher...and in Real'r Time
To be sure, Bill Maher is a political beast, but he is a comedian first. No matter how serious the conversation, Maher would never let a potential punchline slip by. But for Maher and Jon Stewart, revealing the dirt under the well-manicured nails of government wouldn't be as deliciously entertaining.

STEPHANIE MILLER MOVES TO THE BIG TIME...SECAUCUS: The Liberal Lovely To Debut At MSNBC
(4 comments) If BillO listens to how much his own words and audio are embarrassing and laughably insipid, he might even make Stephanie the "Talking Points Memo" subject at the top of the show. If Jim Ward were to actually lampoon O'Reilly, Bill might call for a complete boycott of Stephanie's show. She should be so lucky. Ask Franken.

Tim Russert: Take A Clue From Jon Stewart
How clearly Stewart explained the divisiveness of the Bush administration and their apologists' attacking anyone who questioned their butchering of a so-called foreign policy. "If the architects of a house without any doors and windows doesn't admit that this is the house they built,"said Stewart, "and continues to say, 'no, it's your fault for not being able to look into it,' then I don't understand how we move forward."

Kettle O'Reilly Advises Baldwin's Pot
Bill suggested that Baldwin admit that he made a mistake and make a large donation to some child health charity. I don't know if that advice is so off the mark as much as I'd like to know if after Bill phoned to sexually harass his young female producer, did he make a large donation...other than the one he had to make to his accuser go away?

STEPHANIE MILLER AND DR. LAURA SHOCK JOCKS? NEWSWEEK'S IGNORANCE SHOCKING
Under the header, "Leaders of the Shock Jock Pack," Newsweek actually named Dr. Laura Schlessinger. Dr. Laura, for God's sake. You may not agree with her advice nor her politics but c'mon folks...a shock jock? Maybe if she said, "Stop playing poor me and throw that bastard out with the dishwater, asshole," we could discuss her shock jockeying. But she doesn't and she isn't.

EXPLOITING VA TECH TRAGEDY: THE O'REILLY M.O. AT WORK
Yep, not only did Bill jump on the very real nightmare the families and friends of the Virginia Tech victims, but he did so by besmirching every single foreign national, including many of them now fighting in Iraq where Bill supports sending them to fight for us Folks; where he trust them with a gun. Just don't trust them when they return.

Kerikgate: Just Another Bush Administration Failure To Learn From Failure
(1 comments) Investigators questioned Kerik's business deals, his record of mismanagement and connections to a corruption prosecution. But Rudy Guiliani, his business partner, says he's okay. Certainly complete partisanship there. I'm not saying Rudy is as unreliable as Curveball. But you don't just go to his present wife to ask if you can trust Rudy. Not when there are plenty of ex's who might be holding some different data.

WAS THAT YOU, GERALDO?
(3 comments) For years he was the man who seemed to be the young Mike Wallace in waiting, heroically stalking the corridors of Staten Island's Willowbrook State School to expose the horrors surrounding the neglectful abuse of mentally retarded patients. That Emmy-awarded investigator has been pretty much MIA ever-since. Some say he went on to more sordid and highly lucrative missions. Others just think it was a simple case of mind-naping

ROSIE HAS BECOME THE RIGHT'S LATEST STRAWLIB
(4 comments) Ladies and gentleman, I warn you. This isn't Carrot Top. Not someone who starred in the classic "Chairman of the Board." This is someone who fielded her position all too well in "A League of Their Own." Certainly someone with that type of show bizzy resume could bring down America on her own.

Sick²: O'Reilly Uses His "Friend's" Sickness For Political Attack
(5 comments) If using a "friend's" sickness as a political tool is not sick enough, Bill turned his weekly newspaper column on Tony Snow's illness into a partisan slam of Howard Dean and the Left.

Media Matters, Ann Coulter, Jamison Foser, Bill O'Reilly, Steve Young, Goebbels, First Amendment, and Something Else I'm
MediaMatter's Jamison Foser said my column compared his email to Joseph Goebbels' work in Nazi Germany in that I wrote "Holy Goebbels, folks," which I guess he construed as a comparison to the lovelies of the Third Reich. But talk about the pot calling the kettle Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei While I only compared his email to Goebbels, Foser chose to be far more incendiary comparing me to Bill O'Reilly. Wow!

THE MOST PAINFUL COLUMN I'VE EVER WRITTEN: Media Matters Needs To Lay Off Ann Coulter
(4 comments) Holey Goebbels, folks. Are we now handing the good fight right over to a far-right's cocktail-dress laden Adam's apple. What's next? Calling up Nancy Pelosi and having her increase the reach of the Patriot act? Award the Medal of Freedom to Michael Savage?

Bill O'Reilly: Perjury No Longer A Crime
(1 comments) On his Radio Factor today, Bill opened up by saying that Monica Goodling, an aide to Attorney General, was "smart" to refuse to testify in Senate hearings investigating the firing of eight federal prosecutors. Bill backed up his belief, by saying, "Scooter Libby didn't commit any crime" and that "nobody can remember everything."

WINNING WITH SATIRE (OPEN LETTER TO DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES
(1 comments) You will need your own writing staff - a miniature "Daily Show," if you will - ready to take the crap thrown at you and hone it into satirical fertilizer; pointing out the absurdity in the attack or diffusing an actual hit with self-deprecating humor. Television, radio, blogosphere, print, in person - everywhere you can be seen or heard, you've got to be prepared. Balls ahead, ready to wax satirically.

O'Reilly Needs To Be Investigated Before Someone Really Gets Hurt
(4 comments) I am calling for the FCC, the FBI and the Federal Trade Commission, and any other policing organization starting with an "F" to start investigating O'Reilly's threats. I'm not so sure if Homeland Security wouldn't have some kind of alphabetical jurisdiction. It definitely wouldn't hurt if Mr. Gonzalez's replacement opened an investigation at Justice.

Digesting Fox News, Bill O'Reilly and Dick Morris
(2 comments) Having Morris objectively analyze the subject of his commentary that he makes a living ripping, might seem irrational. Irrationality on The Factor? Puh-leeze. Actually it's really quite logical. It just takes a little bit math and a little bit biology, but if you're willing to make the effort, learning from Fox, Bill and Dick can be lots of fun.

Abraham of Houston Kills 8 Children in Bronx. O'Reilly Hot On Trail of Compassionate Murderer.

WEEKLY THOUGHT OUT NEWS
Any Which Way But Responsible - Libby's former boss, Dick Cheney, who had originally instructed his trusted aide to spread the word of Joe Wilson and his CIA agent wife, Valerie Plame, was disappointed in the jury's decision. "I shot a friend in the face and got away with it," said the ever-playful Vice President, "Why should it be any different than stabbing a friend in the back?"

Yes, I Am Crazy, Mr. O'Reilly. Crazy Like Your Network
If we were honest - and since we are both in the media how can either Bill or I be otherwise - we are spectacularly alike. We both have harassed younger women with sexually explicit phone calls. Bill settled out of court. My wife didn't sue me.

THE PARTY OF ANN
(1 comments) Is there now any doubt that the Republican Party is wholly familiar with Ann's other hysterical schoolyard jokes, like 9/11 widows being "self-obsessed women...enjoying their husbands' deaths" or her "raghead" reference at previous CPAC conference? Yet they still invite her to pump up the CPAC crowd. And she is still guest-staple throughout the Fox News (sic) Network. They love the girl and her "schoolyard" jokes." It's

The Left Just Doesn't Get Satire...Or Coulter
(14 comments) I really hate to have to explain why her Edwards "Faggot" joke was funny. Explaining the humor that emanates from Ann's satire is like explaining the smell behind fertilizer. You don't need to understand why fertilizer stinks. It just does.

Johnny Gets His Gun Again: Walter Reed Reveals Right's Bloody Secret
(4 comments) Instead of the truth behind the enormous disservice to our servicemen and women we hear of left wing scapegoats and Glogal Warnming red herrings running amok. The administration's apologists will use anything that doesn't reveal our festering national wound. Perhaps our veterans will receive better treatment if we burn one more Dixie Chick CD. Or buy one more metallic ribbon for our car. Or Swift Boat one more war hero.
