Reply #4: Hard to say. But John and Teresa Heinz Kerry are going to be on his show tonight.

They'll be there to talk about their book, "This Moment On Earth". And I suppose it's possible (on some planet in some alternate universe) that O'Reilly will be gracious to JK and especially to THK, and also be professional and keep the conversation on the book rather than on some other bogus spin cycle of his own devising. Pigs might fly and the devil strap on ice skates too, but ya never know.

What Bill O'Reilly did to Col. Ann Wright during her appearance is, as the video shows, reprehensible. (I've met Col. Wright and she is far too professional and even-tempered to give into his bullshit, which as personality traits make it all the more significant that she turned her back on this administration after three decades of government service.)

I'm thinking that if he tries to pull the same kind of bogus bullshit on JK and THK tonight, things might get a tad testy during the broadcast. Now that he's not having to parse his words as a prospective candidate, JK has not been chary of keeping a firm grip on the flow of discussion. And as for THK, well, she has never exactly been one to suffer fools gladly either.

This ought to be some pretty interesting must-see TV even if -- or perhaps, especially if -- it's on Fux News. I'll be there with bells on (and popcorn close to hand). Here's hoping you are the same.
