Bill O'Reilly was a guest at the Obama Christmas Party last Tuesday, and on
Thursday (12/17/09) in Bill O'Reilly's Talking Points Memo, he had this to
say about the event: "Tuesday night I was fortunate enough to be invited to
the White House media Christmas party, or as they say in San Francisco, the
'holiday party.' This is the fourth time I have attended the annual event,
and I believe it's a privilege to go to the White House any time. The
president and first lady were very gracious to me. This is the first time I
have spoken to Michelle Obama, and I was impressed. She is charismatic,
articulate and beautiful. The president and first lady could not have been
nicer to everybody." O'Reilly's praise of the Obamas was a rare event on
Fox, but a class act nonetheless. But oh-oh, here comes guest Laura Ingraham
to be - to quote from "Die Hard" -- the cog in the wheel, the monkey in the
wrench, the fly in the ointment . . . Ingraham didn't like O'Reilly's praise
for the Obamas, and he didn't like her criticism. (Personally, I think
Ingraham's just cattily jealous of Michelle Obama's toned arms.) With video.
Ingraham - with the class we've come to expect from her - refused to
acknowledge the possibility the Obamas could be gracious and charming, and
instead ridiculed O'Reilly for "gushing" over Michelle Obama. When O'Reilly
insisted Michelle was "very nice" at the party, Ingraham sneered, "What do
you think she's gonna do to you, not let you near the punch bowl? Of course
she's gonna be nice to you, she's really smart . . . I don't remember you
gushing over Laura Bush . . . did you eat an acorn cookie last night?"
With that, O'Reilly's temper flared, he almost said "bullshit," and accused
her of being "a blind ideologue who even if somebody's nice to you, won't
admit it because you're -- talk about Kool-aid drinker. You have an IV
attached to your arm on the Kool-aid!"
Why she guest hosts his show I'll never know, but it was a pleasure watching
him call her out. By the way, when is Ingraham gonna start wearing that
cross upside down?

I'm starting to see O'Reilly with a ball in his mouth.
Bill O' is turning in to a soft bowl of mush. He warms up to Marxists
who treat him nice because he loves to be close to power central.
I don't watch Bill O' very often now. He is too predictable, and far
too willing to go along with the radicals who push communism and
socialism. I think he's a great guy, but in his older age, he's just
unable to be strong and take a stand. Did you notice the minor face
lift he had after Glenn Beck joined the Fox News team?
Rush is about the same age as Bill O' but Rush is ten times more
powerful at opposing the opposition.
