Note to O'REILLY: Ratings are up to see you squirm-lie SNAP!1 not because they agree or like you.

The link below is about how O'LOOFAH's ratings are up from last week and higher than the President's last night. A key spin in his m.o. is to take one bit of what he calls "truth" and puff that up while truncating context and perspective, so he's undoubtedly choosing to exercise his incredible capacity for Denial to tell himself this means he is *vindicated,* that all of those people he's "looked out for" are seeing through all those Far Left smear merchants who are out to get him, and that they are standing up for him. Winning!1 Because he's a winner!1

O'LOOFAH, people are tuning in to see whether you will SNAP for all time, do-it-live!1 like in Network.

K OLBERMANN: ' Bill O'Reilly. The Fact or Fiction host and noted loofah user wrote .... about the inspiration that his own football career at Marist College in New York provided observing that he, quoting here, "I won the national punting title for my division as a senior." O'Reilly concludes that " the end zone was the beginning of the no-spin zone."

The football office at Marist stated football was not a varsity sport there until 1978 -- seven years after O'Reilly graduated. When he played, it was a so-called club sport where players paid all their own expenses, and schedules and, most importantly, statistical record keeping were haphazard.

So when he says he was the top punter in his division in the country in 1970,.... He was not in the NCAA Division I or II or the smaller-college NAIA Division I or Division II. O'Reilly in Marist played in something called the National Club Football Association.

He's almost very funny when he tries to answer Rachel. If Corn is a 'guttersnipe' wonder what anachronistic term he'll dig up f/ Maddow?
