Bill O'Reilly praises Bill Clinton, criticizes Cheney

http://abcnews.go.com/2020/story?id=2465303&page=3

<snip>

But O'Reilly had harsher criticism for Cheney and compared him to Hillary Clinton.

He believes Cheney does not want to be a guest on the "No-Spin Zone."

"He's afraid to come on the program. … For the same reason that Hillary won't," he said. "He is gonna sit in the chair, and I am gonna go, 'Hey.' And he doesn't want that."

To the surprise of some observers, O'Reilly believes Bill Clinton's presidency was a success.

"Brilliant. I think he did a good job as president," O'Reilly said. "Had a little problem with the honesty deal. And that gave me pause. But his presidency was successful."



:wow:

3. Three things. One - Hell has officially frozen over. Two - O'Lielly
Edited on Thu Sep-21-06 09:03 AM by Democrat 4 Ever
is getting his ass handed to him nightly by Keith Olberman and he is tacking left to try to bolster his falling ratings. Three - he is off his meds. That is the only explanation that O'Lielly could even utter the name Clinton without retching much less acknowledge he was a good president. Somebody get that man some Thorazine pronto. Borrow some from Lush Limpballs if Billo's bottle is empty.

On Edit - If it is from The Onion - they got me!

20. Hell has not frozen over. It's just another rat running off the ship.
O'Reilly's top loyalty is not hard to figure out. After the election, he's gonna be saying how his criticism of Bush was ahead of its time

"And you know what? The American people last fall agreed with me and threw the Republicans out!"
that's my prediction

4. Wasn't he bitching about impeachment and Monica, etc.?
His remarks are worthless now. He should have been saying those things 8-10 years ago.

7. It's only because every time he tries to praise bush
It comes back and bites him in the ass. Like saying that if WMD weren't found he was not going to trust the bush administration. Or that the Iraq war will be a three week sweep. Things aren't going well for bush and oreilly just doesn't want to talk about it.

9. Fucky you in the ear, Billy-O
Edited on Thu Sep-21-06 09:11 AM by kiki
Imagine it's 1945, and Goebbels is saying "Yeah, I never liked the Nazis," as the sound of artillery draws ever nearer to his home.

Seriously Bill, I don't know if "respect" is the word, but I might be able to feel something for you if I didn't know that the closest you get to a compassionate thought is in your efforts to cover your disgusting, worthless fucking ass.

Did Webster's decide yet whether to put your picture next to the definition of "snake", or "rat"?

15. Not a fan (obviously) of Cheney, but I highly doubt
that he's "afraid" of this twit.
