Keith vs Bill: No Thrilla in Cablela
On Bill O’Reilly’s TV Factor last Wednesday, the No-spinster kept trying to get his opponent into a clinch, interrupting nearly every sentence columnist and Fox News contributor, Ellis Henican threw that wasn’t going the way Bill wanted — which was pretty much every one of them. Body-blow, body-blow, body-blow. O’Reilly was bloodied to the point he had to be bleeped — “Torture, my ass” — though I’m not really sure why. We’re talking cable.
Bill kept hitting the canvas more than Michaelangelo. The only thing that saved O’Reilly was the commercial bell. Maybe that’s part of the reason he spews senselessness like spittle from stroke-ridden ex-fighter. He’s punchdrunk.
You have to give O’Reilly credit. He regularly books Henican, as well as Temple University’s Professor Marc Hill, both of whom are lefties who consistently pummel Bill with flurries of facts and clear-thinking logic. On the other hand, and network — Countdown/MSNBC — Keith Olbermann, who although has the facts on his side, rarely (ever?) brings on anyone from the other side who disagrees with him.

Fox News’ New Network Set To Redefine News
Fox News Release…
“The Fox News Adrenalin Network is meant to serve every political persuasion from the militia man who no longer wants to waste his target practice on newspaper clippings of presidents or small unarmed varmints to the hate group who isn’t afraid to open a bar at 8AM and not close it until they’ve beaten up at least one gay kid”
In what started as secret focus group testing has now blossomed into a brand new cable news network, the brainchild of Fox President Roger Ailes.
“We met with countless disgruntled television viewers of every color and creed of angry white men who say they are unhappy with the direction America is going but have yet to find television news they can truly believe in,” said Ailes. “They pretty much described MSNBC as the Karl Marx Network, CNN as the French Network, and Fox News as the Read more

The Teleprompter, the Jacket and the Laugh: A Presidency in Utter Ruin
The writing should have been on the wall…and the teleprompter.
You know how the con works. The candidate ad-libs debate answers, dons a jacket and keeps laughter to a minimum. Then he gets elected president and BAM, he’s revealed for what he is…a teleprompter reading, jacketless, laugher..guy. And therefore someone we cannot trust. Or at least so says the Republican attack machine. This new president who promised us change, reads from a teleprompter. A fancy dan teleprompter nearly invisible to the TV viewers’ eyes. Thank God for mssrs Limbaugh and Hannity pointing it out for us…over and over. Do you call that change? Is it that much of a leap to believe he had to write much of what he read? What an insult to the nation. Reading what is wrote. Does my car mechanic read his repair instructions off a teleprompter? No. He left the plug off my oil pan, seizing up my engine all on his very own. If we have a president who can’t memorize his speeches how can we expect him to right the economy?
What’s next…laughing during Read more
Hey, Stewart! Lay Off AIG, Madoff and Cramer
(Left - Jon Stewart interviews Jim Cramer)
Has America gotten so callous that we no longer appreciate the fine art of securities fraud?
Am I the only one who’s sick and tired of having pundits and holier than thou’s demeaning the missteps of those who did what we all know we would have done if we were in their very expensive shoes?
It seems that everyone is taking some kid of perverted joy from watching these powerful entities fall. Folks, we’re only talking about money here. It’s not like anyone is dying, except maybe for those who are so distraught about losing their jobs, watching their pensions dissolve or their family fall apart, that they’ve swallowed a gun barrel. So what if there are those who have become so depressed that they’ve crawled into a chronic fetal position in bed, covers over their head, thumb tucked neatly in mouth, unable to face friends and family? Since when does being weak deserve our compassion? Isn’t that what Zoloft and funeral directors are for?
So shame on you, Jon Stewart. Shame on Read more
