But Will O'Reilly Stand By His Word?

Of course not.

Why am I asking this?

Read this statement:

Yup, that's the Republican presidential candidate talking about his running mate, Sarah Palin, last night in the third and final debate. I was pretty horrified that, number one, he seems to feel that it is necessary to articulate how proud he is of Governor Palin, as if she were his niece not his equal. But what was even more shocking was that, in answer to Bob Schieffer's great question, "Why would the country be better off if your running mate became president rather than his running mate?", Senator McCain felt the need to end by invoking Palin's husband.

Did you hear Obama say anything about Senator Biden's wife, as reassurance that Biden will have help in the White House from a big, strong lady? If I were Palin, I'd be pissed.


Who said that?

Courtney Martin.

If you watched The O'Reilly Factor the other night, you would remember this woman standing her ground and not tolerating O'Reilly's crap. However, why she didn't mention that she did defend Palin when O'Reilly claimed that she didn't is still kind of a mystery to me.

Perhaps she had grown tired of Bill's incessant droning.

But, the point of all this is that O'Reilly said this to Courtney:

If you had defended Sarah Palin, then I would respect you and I would say, 'You know, you were right. Maybe I should apologize.' But you didn't! This is a left-wing play. That's what this is."


Bill, we'll be waiting.

The Rationale Of O'Reilly

As I watched this segment last night, I got the overwhelming sense that Courtney Martin of the Women's Media Center wasn't buying into Bill's excuse that it was just "a joke", that it was somehow satire on par with Tina Fey's portayal of Sarah Palin on SNL.

Good for Courtney.

However, Bill no likey.

When he finally caught on that his guest, that he was hoping he could dominate, wasn't about to play his game, he let loose.

Pardon my "body language segment", but notice the raised upper lip, the head cocked-back, the index finger ready to fire. Yeah, O'Reilly mad. O'Reilly smash woman that make him look bad. GRRRRR!!!!

I'm not sure what's more insulting - he fact that he is so condicending to her or the fact that he is attempting to pass-off his verbal lashing of Helen Thomas as satire.

He continally invokes Tina Fey and SNL.

The problem is that Saturday Night Live has been a show based on comedy and satire, principles that they have held dear for as long as I have been alive. O'Reilly's program on Fox"News" has been based on Bill O'Reilly telling us that he is "looking out" for us, that he tolerates "no spin" and never delivers such.

For those of us able to think for ourselves, as well as those that realize how O'Reilly treats women, we can easily see through this pathetic excuse.
