Yahoo: Al Franken Challenges O'Reilly to Bowling Match
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20040930/ap_en_tv/people_al_franken

On his radio show Wednesday, the satirist-commentator challenged the Fox News commentator to a "friendly" bowling match.

The proposed face-off would be a part of The Great American Bowl-Off, a one-day event being organized by the Web site Meetup.com in bowling centers around the country. The Oct. 7 event is designed to give political partisans a breather from the fractious campaigning.

O'Reilly and Franken have squabbled for years. On CBS' "60 Minutes" interview program Sunday, O'Reilly repeated his claim that Franken is a "character assassin."

Franken said the bowling match would be an opportunity for O'Reilly "to prove his working class bona fides," alluding to his frequent claim that O'Reilly exaggerates the impoverishment of his upbringing.

1. ROFL!
They should do it and raise runds for a charity! Take the politics out of it and do something for a good cause.

As to the "character assassin", O'Reilly had better take a good hard look in the mirror and at the people he surrounds himself with.
