John has this: Imus: Here’s what a disgrace O’Reilly is. Olbermann can’t kill him enough. Here’s what O’Reilly’s doing. You are not going to believe this. This sonofabitch actually went on that falafel thing of his and he said–if you’ll buy a copy of his book-for every copy of his stupid book, he’ll send a […]
Remember last year when Clinton had that sit down with Chris Wallace on FOX News? He was tired of everyone saying he caused 9/11, so he let Chris know about it.
