I vaguely remember the very early days of the Bill O’Reilly on Fox—when he started using the “No Spin Zone” line. The period I’m thinking about is the very end of the 90s. I was in college. This was before he completely transitioned into the territory of unabashed white resentment. I think the Bush election and then…

She managed to get top billing this time, so she should be able to do anything she wants.

I believe he genuinely ranted AT someone hired to write “with” him, and that real writer took those crazy rants and shaped them into books.

That stands for Creativity, Uniqueness, Nerve, and Talent. Remember that the next time someone calls you a cunt.

Sorry about your Blackhawks. I’m sad about my Blue Jackets, but I’ve been pre-sad about them losing for awhile now and your loss is shocking. I flip over every magazine with anything Trump-related, and I’m not even sneaky about it anymore. It always gives me a laugh, and we need all the laughs right now.

Elongated “X” in the teaser poster looks like a chromosome. That would fit with a human-alien hybrid story arc.

Although it would’ve meant jumping the shark into trope-ish territory...

“O’Reilly would go on to write or co-write over 20 books”

Do we believe he “co wrote” these or just slapped his name on them and split the proceeds?

Crabby about the Blackhawks and crabby about fucking Sarah Palin and her fucking tween dream snotty WH photo and crabby about this American life in general, I flipped over all copies of his book and some other bullshit Trump Saves America book at CostCo this evening. Petty, but satisfying.

Woohoo!

The Daily Show and some others have been playing the clip of him going to a restaurant in a black neighborhood. That man has never left a bubble, I swear...

He is the perfect Senator for our current needs. Acute, detail-oriented, and quick-thinking. I’m sure Paul Wellstone is looking down upon him happily from progressive heaven.

I wish I could be amazed when I saw on Rachel Maddow the other night that Fox corporate concealed the payments they made on O’Reilly’s shenanigans by booking it as income for the recipients, rather than as fines or lawsuit payments. They may very well be in trouble with the IRS and the SEC for this practice. It was…

Agreed. Franken’s intelligence runs circles around Trump and most that are around that walking orange waste of carbon.

Al Franken may be a former comedy writer, but from what I have seen, he has proven to be an intelligent, thoughtful, honest politician. Were he to run for President, I would RUN to vote for him. And I don’t run anywhere :)

I’ve always loved how he talks about being from Levittown like it’s Compton or something. Better not mess with this guy- he grew up in America’s first mass suburb!

I know Franken is far from perfect, but I loved him for taking down O’Reilly and Rush Lyinburgh in his books and interviews. The Peabody Award scandal was the most amusing when he shut O’Reilly down.

Al Franken affectionately called him Bill O’Lie-ly in his book, always thought the nickname would stick throughout the years but hasn’t really. Time to bring it back.

I *love* that this reads like an obituary...
