The More Greta Van Susteren Talks, the Worse Things Look for Her
By Ryan Tate
.... The On The Record host was responding to a Politico story that quoted some anonymous person claiming Van Susteren and her husband John Coale were giving Sarah Palin ruinous advice.
Coale, the national-domination-plotting Scientologist politico, is said to be shadow-operating former Republican VP nominee Palin's political action committee. In her post, Van Sustern listed a bunch of other female TV news personalities with politically active husbands, implying it's entirely possible to be journalistically ethical and have a partisan spouse, particularly if the other keeps a safe distance. Sure. ....
Also, Palin got a bum ramp in the media. Saying so proves Van Susteren is fair and balanced, or something: ....
The Palin-Van Susteren-Coale relationship is going to be hours and hours of entertainment.

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) – You can't deny Bill O'Reilly's success. On Tuesday, the fiery host of Fox News Channel's "The O'Reilly Factor" will mark his 100th consecutive month as the No. 1-rated cable news show. ....
THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER: HOW ABOUT CNN, YOUR FAVORITE COMPETITOR?
O'Reilly: I think Wolf Blitzer does a nice job, and Anderson Cooper is an honest guy.
THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER: WHAT'S THE REACTION YOU GET AT A RESTAURANT OR A STARBUCKS OR SOME OTHER PUBLIC PLACE?
O'Reilly: I get preferential treatment, although I don't want that. I very rarely have problems. Look, I'm 6-foot-4, and I don't look like I'll be receptive to bad behavior.
THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER: DO YOU NEED BODYGUARDS?
O'Reilly: On occasion, if I have to go into a large crowd and be stationary. ....
THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER: HOW DOES ONE GO FROM HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER IN MIAMI TO NO. 1 CABLE NEWS STAR?
O'Reilly: I did it the hard way. I went back to school, got a master's degree from Boston University in broadcast journalism. I took a job in Scranton, Pa., and I worked hard. I took chances and did what I had to do. It's the great American story. That's why "Bold Fresh" (his latest book) is so successful, because
if I can do it with my personality, so can anybody.

By Ryan Tate,
Deep down, past the creepy post-apocalyptic conservative rhetoric like "we surround them" and "you are not alone," who is Glenn Beck? "A rodeo clown," he told the New York Times. Or maybe worse.
“I’m a rodeo clown,” he said in an interview, adding with a coy smile, “It takes great skill. ....
But disaffected fight-winger David "Axis of Evil" Frum is as worried as ever about Beck, for the sake of conservatism:
...Frum said Mr.
Beck’s success “is a product of the collapse of conservatism as an organized political force,
and the rise of conservatism
as an alienated cultural sensibility. .”
“It’s a show
for people who feel they belong to an embattled minority that is disenfranchised and cut off,” he said.
As opposed to the enfranchised, cash-drenched bankers and the pro-war necons who were key Republican constituents during Frum's glory days. They're all as bitter and loserish as any libtard Dem now, Frum seems to be saying, leaving the likes of Beck and Sarah Palin to lead the dead-ender, social conservative remnants of the base in an unhinged charge against big government.
And all the would-be conservative pundits not down with that are left to just blog or write for the Daily Beast or whatever and seethe at Fox News, like a bitter loser libtard Dem c. 2004.
Welcome to 2009.
