Bill O'Reilly "Analysis"

Okay, I'm not quite done bringin' you some analysis of Tuesday's election. Hannity and Matalin kill me - I could listen to these two all day, and then have even more fun shooting holes in their bullshit.

Hannity is about as distorted as it gets, and I have no idea which universe he's been livin' in these past six years, but it hasn't been in Bush's America. He wonders why Democrats polled better on tax cuts, reducing the deficit and spending? How about because they've failed miserably at all three, for starters.

-You have to love Bush's tax cuts, if you're a millionaire. How many of those were polled? Probably not many because there AREN'T many when compared to our population of 300 million.

-Reducing the deficit? Hmmm - how has the deficit done since Bush took office? Just asking.

-Spending - typically not a Democratic stronghold, I'll admit, but show me one spending bill that Bush has vetoed. I'll save you the trouble - there isn't one! The one and only Bush veto to date is his misguided, religiously driven veto of a stem cell bill in June of this year.

Oh, and one other thought - controlling spending and reducing the deficit are "bread and butter" Ronald Reagan?!? More like Miracle Whip - as in, that's what Sean is using to come up with that premise. Spending and the deficit spiraled out of control under Reagan and only came back down to a balanced budget under Clinton (and he had to shut down the government twice to get the budgets he wanted). Part of the deficit's problem under Reagan was his fetish for missile defense - a fetish that has rubbed off on President Bush, too, costing us hundreds of billions.



Here's a little more Bill O'Lielly. Yep, Bill's got it allll figured out, as usual. If he's this bad at political analysis, it's too bad I'm not better looking, because I could do worlds better than him. So, just the war cost the Republicans? And Abrahamoff? How about Foley? Hastert? Haggard? Rumsfeld? Cheney? The lies? Good 'ole Bill-Oh is looking for one or two easy reasons to package to his viewers, and it's not nearly that simple. But, you keep agonizing, Billy boy, and I'll keep laughing.
