Is Bill O’Reilly Sabotaging John McCain?
By Debbie Schlussel
Is Bill “Who’s Looking Out For Falafel/Loofa?” O’Reilly letting his incredibly-sized ego sabotage John McCain’s night?
Reader/Blogger Barry Popik thinks so and reading his points, I agree.
Tonight is supposed to be John McCain’s only real domain, after a week that was dominated by Sarah & Bristol Palin hype.
But after months of refusing to appear on O’Reilly’s show, Barack Obama pulled a smart move, agreeing to an interview, but insisting it would air tonight–which means that O’Reilly will have to move his usual cadre of Playboy and Penthouse centerfolds, porn stars, and stippers to another wholesome night.
As Barry Popik notes:
BHO and O’Reilly agree to an interview tonight at 8 p.m.? How dare BHO suggest it! How dare O’Reilly agree to it!
Here’s what BHO doesn’t want you to see–and ratings whore O’Reilly agrees:
8 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Speaker: U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham (S.C.)
Video: “Vice Presidential Nominee Governor Sarah Palin”
Speaker: Former Gov. Tom Ridge (Penn.)
Video: “America’s Place in the World”
Speaker: Mrs. Cindy McCain
9 p.m. to 10 p.m.
Video: “Senator John McCain”
Speaker: Presidential Nominee John McCain
I agree. O’Reilly is really a jerk for doing this to McCain. He’s helping Obama.
And I don’t put anything past him. Remember when he appeared on Oprah to plug his book and called new-age radical Oprah–of all people–a “traditionalist”? The guy will say or do anything if it helps him. A total phony.
And don’t forget that when Jews were being kicked out of their homes in Gaza, O’Reilly stated on his poorly-rated nationally-syndicated Westwood One radio show that the only reason Jews lived in Gaza is “because they want cheap land.” And he particularly singled out American Jews. Yup, Jews are cheap and motivated by lucre–thanks for the tip, Bill. But, no, you’re not an anti-Semite. Nu-uh.
For the record, Jews who lived in Gaza mostly lived there–not for the “cheap land”–but out of principle because it was part of Israel, and they didn’t want to give Israeli land to a Palestinian terrorist state. Most of those Jews paid a tremendous price in security expenses and, in many cases, blood–their family members killed by Islamic Palestinian terrorists. They risked their lives to live there, which is anything but “cheap.”
Who’s looking out for you? If you’re John McCain or anyone else, not Bill O’Reilly. He’s looking out for the guy in his mirror. No-one else.
So tired of this guy’s fraudulent act.

By the way, I can already predict the whole interview. It’ll go like this:
Bill O’Reilly Chorus: I mean . . . C’mon! I mean . . . C’mon! I mean . . . C’mon!
Agreed. However, it will give the re-energized something to Youtube tomorrow, when Obama lies and O’Really doesn’t dispute him. What I have found from watching O’Really, is that he ‘touches’ on a question, and when the interviewee attempts to answer it, he will commandeer the conversation and bring the topic round back to himself. He simply can’t help himself. He’s worse than Clinton this way.
