Lords of Loud 5/28) In a shocking turn of events, on his radio show this past week, talk show host Bill O'Reilly demanded President Bush's resignation. Sure it's hard to believe, but taking on demagogues as well as entire countries, O'Reilly has never been one to pull his punches, so President Bush had better take Bill's words seriously.
Here's how it went down. While pleading his case against a school newspaper on the University of Oregon campus, O'Reilly derided UO Dean, Dave Frohnmayer, for not taking steps to close down the newspaper. That the school has no editorial control over what the paper publishes nor legal ability to close it, Bill knows that a President needn't adhere to law to do what needs to be done.

What irked Bill more than anything was that Frohnmayer did not condemn and shut down the newspaper. Forget the law. Forget the trial. Just trow da bums out! If you're not willing to do so, then it's you who must go. Alright?
Next came the coup de grace. Using the opportunity to make a political point that surely threw the White House and the entire Republican Party for a loop, O'Reilly said that a President should be held to the same scrutiny - if you don't deal with insurrections immediately, you must step down.* Do you hear that, Mr. Bush? That's what Bill's talking about.

I hate Bill O'Reilly. It's not a 'hard' hate though. He's just an annoying a-hole, like a crank on the next bar stool who knows everything about everything. You just get up & move or leave.
How he's turned his meager little act into a career baffles me.
Anyway, I thought this was a funny piece...
Bill's rating are down I've heard. It's about time...what a nut!
