Dateline tonight: O'Reilly on Franken row

[bicentennial_baby]

If anyone wants to laugh at O'Reilly tonight, he's got an interview with Stone Phillips on Dateline tonight about the Al Franken thing. Looks like it'll be a hoot!

Please note that for all of the neocon books, there is a "+", indicating that someone is buying in bulk, and conclude what you like from that.

2. I can't do it...

How could I laugh?

Stone Phillips already looks like he's someone pretending to be him in an SNL skit, but then you have the real (if there is such a thing) O'Reilly. I can't stand the thought of it even.

:puke:



So, maybe I'll watch.

Right now, no one in the media or administration is looking out for the little guy.
