Bill-O on Bill-O: Olberman's break down


For once, when Bill O'Reilly will undoubtedly call a story about him a "hit job," I completely agree. And he deserves it.

You'd think that Bill O'Lielly would stay a million miles away from the Eliot Spitzer scandal, but of course he can't help himself. I guess BOR is drawn to a sex story like a moth to a campfire, but it's too bad guys like Keith Olbermann are around to make sure he gets burned.

Take a listen and laugh as Olbermann plays interpreter to BOR's analysis of Spitzer's fall - it really is a hoot. It seems that O'Reilly simply can't save himself from his own stupidity, and since that's so often the case, his loss is our gain.

I never thought I'd find myself writing this, but thank you, Billy! Thanks for providing all of your fodder for the nut job cannon. Keep up the good work, BOR.

(Keith's thanks goes without saying - he really is the Fox "News" Network's kryptonite)

BOR gets pranked



I love a good prank phone call, so this one naturally had me laughing when I saw it on YouTube. Bill O'Reilly usually has pretty tight security on his show - no one's gettin' through with anything he doesn't approve of, and if they do, they are cut off in short order.

I have to give Billy credit, though - he handles this about as well as he could have by not giving the caller any satisfaction; he played dumb and pretended he didn't know what the caller was talking about.
