CNN: BillO Shows Up At A Hillary Rally
He also plants a question in the audience about Hillary's plans to withdraw troops from Iraq.

Quite an interesting video...what's BillO doing there. Care to speculate?

Discuss...

3. Well Some WIll Say Murdoch Has An Investment To Protect Here
I was hoping the two would have sung a duet of "You Don't Send Me Flowers Anymore:

:rofl:

And, of course, now BillO gets to say how Hillary is avoiding him...blah blah blah...

6. while that would have been funny
BillO is all about BillO - I can't imagine he is there for anything except trying to set her up (for ridicule).

The thing is, he is so lame that it will only work for his audience.

9. Most Definitely...But I Smell More Here
:tinfoilhat:

I'm sure we'll see a lot more of this "encounter" over the weekend. Besides being fodder for BillO's treehouse, it's sure to show up on the Sunday talk shows and throughout the day on Monday. Hell, KO would need to be dragged by wild horses not to use this thing. It's a lot of promotional value here and that's what counts. It gets Hillary's name out there almost non-stop between now and Tuesday...and right now this primary has turned into a shouting contest. The best attention whore will benefit.

11. Or its the way to get a smear into MSM the sly way...
the old Drudge model - get it out there - someone somewhere picks it up once, then all the major media follows the story - regardless of how ludicrous the story is - because "the story was already out there."

I serisouly doubt this is being done to benefit Clinton.

13. I Dunno
BillO has turned into the man Democrats love to hate. He's made a best-selling author of Franken and Olbermann into the star at MSNBC. A BillO tirade against Hillary on his Monday night treehouse, along with all the build-up that this video is sure to draw sure can't hurt Hillary...and may help get some sympathy for her.

Remember, we're on a real compressed clock here. Polls open in Dixville Notch (or whatever) in less than 36 hours...unlike the usual two week or longer lag...each campaign is gonna try to milk every moment of the 25/7 news cycle to either keep their name out there or from giving their opponent face time. Nothing can do that more than a good media food fight.

16. if that is the case...
I don't think BillO is in on it - more of a dupe, which is kind of funny. Seriosly if he was set up in that way by the Clinton camp - I would have to give them kudos - and hope that it works out for them.

4. The RNC and their propaganda outlet Foxnoise
are in all out attack mode to get Hillary back on top of the pile. Hillary is the republican choice because with her high negative approvals she would be the best bet to be beaten by the RNC nominee, and if she did win, the RNC and Foxnoise could heckle her, ala Bill, so she gets nothing meaningful accomplished during her reign. PLUS...Hillary is the most pro-war of the Dems so she would be Bill-O's choice for next preznit.

8. Yeppers...He's Not There For The Free Cookies
A lot of the game here is see and be seen. I can't imagine O'Reilly snuck in at the last moment and that Camp Hillary not only knew he was there but probably tipped off the other news media that he was.

Reading Kos and TPM, it appears Camp Hillary's move now is to either scare Independents away from Obama as being "too librul" or depress any crossovers...keeping them in the GOOP primary.

5. he is preparing for schtick to use on his shows
his stock in trade is ridicule over some hyped up incident. I would guess he is trying to create some incident that he can then use as ridicule foddr.

14. He said on the raa-dee-oh yesterday he's "covering" NY for clips for Monday's circus
and that his "Premium" members on his website will get full access to everything (not just clips) by Saturday night. What a BARGAIN!1 What a TREAT!1 Worth staying home and being an O'LOOFAH Premium member!1

18. "Premium Member" Ugh...I Didn't Need That Visual. LOL
This primary is turning into a shouting match...the compressed schedule means the coverage on Monday will be intense and the candidate with the most coverage not only can get a little last minute "pump" but also keeps their competitor off the air.

I expect to see this video all over the place by Monday and BillO to play his role in spinning it on his radio show and TV treehouse that could become a media sideshow as people are going to the polls on Tuesday. The corporate media has turned this primary process into a reality show...this is just the latest episode.

20. Correction to *my* #14: NH, not NY. Yip, plus Tweety starts in EARLY on SCARBOROUGH
Edited on Sat Jan-05-08 02:36 PM by UTUSN
THREATENING people to vote his way, then he repeats his push-polling-OPINIONS all dang day long!1

For Iowa he kept saying that the 3 way split meant "Hillary," otherwise known as Senator CLINTON, "has two out of every three against her despite all the time and money she spent." It wasn't till late that night that somebody (Rachel MADDOW) called him on his twisted spin, telling him that a 3 way split means ALL THREE have two out of every three against them.

You know, the male equivalent to Monica...

17. BillO probably thought it was like a * event, and hoped he would get kicked out
on camera. And then show it over and over and over again ad nauseum

21. Damn, I'm psychic
I typed that before I saw anything on the Obama event. He is soooooo predictable. What does he expect, when he is yelling and trying to get to a candidate? If he had tried to get to * like that, it would have been worse!

22. You called it well...
they are already trying to down play the incident on faux - but the story is in the Sun Times (at least in their blogs) and surely well passed around the blogosphere by now!
