1. Drudge is ridiculous. But you know Franken made O'Reilly look dumb.
In front of a room of their professional peers, at that!

Franken made O'Reilly look like the shrill reactionary he is. So O'Reilly went home and planned revenge. Whether I believe Drudge or not, I have no problem with that scenario.

What a jerk!

6. O'Really just sat there steaming
I mean, you could really see the steam pouring from his ears. I think he was plotting his revenge right then.

Al called him on his lie about winning a Peabody for Inside Edition. It wasn't a Peabody (it was a Polk) and O'Really wasn't even there when the program won the award. Burst that lying buzzard's bubble. He is a moron -- didn't he think someone would fact check him? Does he think he's above the truth?

Al is awesome, as always.... he trademarked funny. Cool.

15. The funniest part of that debacle...
was when O'Really (exhibiting the calm restraint he says he always does) called him an "idiot" and told him to "shut up" about five times. Al told him "this isn't your show, Bill. I won't shut up!" Put that blowhard in his place. Brilliant!

9. Yeah, that fits.
O'Liely is as petty and vindictive as it gets. I'm just astounded he managed to convince the Faux legal staff to waste their time on this. I guess he pitched a hissy fit and threatened to leave.

3. I don't doubt it for a second
it sounds just like something the idiot O'Really would try to pull.

4. LMAO
Ha hah hah O'Really has flipped his lid. What a moran. he is so angry at Franken that he doesn't realise that his pathetic frivolous law suit is send sales of Franken's book through the roof.

These wingers are total loons with nothing but hate and anger in their hearts.

8. LOL, that makes a lot of sense
O'Reilly is a crybaby who doesn't know when he's beat.

10. O'Reilly is a bully and a crybaby
this is a big mistake. Franklen always challenges the right wing to sue. i think Franklen's going to have a good time with this.

12. Jon Stewart was so happy last night
he just LOVES this story: FAUX suing Al Franken. And, now, with O'Reilly as the puppeteer...well, this story isn't over. I'm happy for Al Franken. He's smart and funny. O'Reilly can dish it out; but, man, can he NOT take it! He has a vendetta against George Clooney, for goodness sake! He couldn't shutup about the guy. Vendetta, or Crush? You decide.
