O'Reilly Slams Olbermann's Ratings

> Update: 12:47pm: Olbermann responds via e-mail: "About big ratings, as they say, 800 billion flies can't be wrong."


Is Bill O'Reilly feeling threatened by Keith Olbermann? On Wednesday's Factor, the FNC host felt it necessary to include this in his Talking Points Memo of New Year's Resolutions...

"Speaking of disasters, our competitor at MSNBC is a notorious smear merchant. So far this month, December, "The Factor's" third rerun at 4:00 in the morning has beaten the MSNBC's original 8:00 program more than 50 percent of the time. Unbelievable."

(Also, O'Reilly resolved "to report better, write better, interview better, and interrupt less," admitting "that last one may be dicey.")

Orlielly just walked right into Olbermann's domain. Olbermann's wit is quicker on the draw than billy the kid. Go ahead Bill.....Keep walking keep walking

2. Is that even true?

I really doubt the small-hours reruns are killing anybody. Wishful thinking, O'Stupid.

Besides, O'No's radio ratings suck dead.

There. How do you like that, Bill?

:P

Pretty soon he'll be pushing a mop somewhere. If there is any justice.

3. O'Reilly willl lie about ANYthing. It's habitual.

So it probably isn't even true what he said, come to think of it.
