O'Reilly Lobbied For Lawsuit. . .
Granted, that's according to Drudge (www.drudgereport.com) and thus far it's only the headline, link isn't there yet. The blurb above it says something about "exclusive behind the scenes" stuff.

When you think about it, that's the only thing that really makes sense of this stoopid (even for FOX) lawsuit. And the vitriol sounds so Reilly-esque.

Don't know 'bout you, but I'm havin' fun watchin' this one.

1. Yes indeed
it's always fun to watch the righties make complete asses of themselves. This is just so childish, with my apologies to children everywhere. I don't even think most children would do something this stupid.

2. Some of the things said...
In the brief sound like he was quoted verbatim, in it.

Answers a lot of questions.

5. Yeah. Right. Poor, hurt, misused Bill...

"For Bill, above all other things, this was a matter of honor and support," a top source explained from New York.

Yeah. Right. I'm surprised he didn't mention "journalistic integrity" to complete the attempt of wrapping himself in trendy 'righteous indignation'.

Edited for spelling

10. "O'Reilly lobbied for lawsuit ... "
If I were Roger Ailes, I'd hire the lawyer and the PR person who OK'd this.

Unless I'm missing something, which is always possible.

11. I'd love to
get a clip of Bill O. shouting "Shut Up!" at Franken so I can play it whenever I need a laugh. It would be great played in a loop.
