Yeah, O'Reilly helped Inside Edition win two or, um, three Peabody Awards.

But the thing is...FRANKEN WANTS TO BE TREATED SERIOUSLY! He even wanted his own damn show!

Ann Coulter is pundit who writes with jokes and satire! (A lot more funny that Franken if I do say so myself)...if she had a video on Amazon where she beat the hell out of a liberal with a baseball bat, then she OF COURSE would be unhinged? right?

You can't talk about O'Reilly without someone bring up the Peabody award!

Nope, sorry, it's too rich. Especially after he said it numerous times on his show and, when called on it, said he never said it and you wouldn't find it in a transcript. Inside Edition, that bastion of fine journalism, won a Polk Award...quite a while after O'Reilly left the show.

And this is the best argument liberals have!

Ann makes a case for treason and you guys argue about which award exactly was won by O'Reilly's show!

Ha. O'Reilly's bull**** has been well-documented. So much so that no one really needs to make much of an argument, his words and actions speak for themselves.

Treason? The ignore function is starting to look pretty good right now.

Yes it is too rich. O'Reilley also came very close to beating up a liberal right on his show. The man who was talking about the Bush administration and criticizing them right after 9/11.

Outing a CIA operative is TREASON. What the hell are you talking about anyway?

Same could be said for your guy Franken!

Hit away babe, if that's what makes you happy.

No, he wants people to laugh at his jokes and to know he tells the truth. Take him seriously? Not even he does that.

If Ann were really a comedianne and she did that it would probably be funny to you neocons and you know it.

Al Franken is a comedian.

Haha, Franken is singing "It's beginning to look a lot like Fitzmas". Although I hate when he sings, he's awful. Which is funny. I'm definitely getting his book. Is Cho's book an autobiography or more like a book of jokes?

Also, what has happened to us? We went down this road again arguing and wasting typing energy! Oops

And don't use the comedian excuse. When the guy writes a book and wants to be taken serioulsy about the "lies" he KNOWS he has "proven" then he should be called on HIS LIES.
