Colbert vs O'Reilly
 
Last week Colbert had O'Reilly on his show, and vice versa.

On the Factor
On the Report

I watched the first - Colbert has balls of steel! Gotta go to work...

We watched both on Thursday-- Not only does Colbert have balls of steel, O'Reilly proved himself a jackass (and an unprepared one. I don't think he saw it coming, and by the time he got to the Report, he was really rather unpleasant, I thought.)

I haven't seen either yet, but most of the reviews I saw of it said that it was pretty lame by both parties.

Well, I thought getting O'Reilly to say that he was an "act" was pretty ingenious.

Balls of steel? I dunno about that. He simply stayed in character. I was actually dissappointed in both shows. I expected it to be much more amusing.

But I suppose persepective/opinion is always skewed by beliefs.

A classic tv moment, as was holding up O'Reilly's book with the 30% off sticker.

I only saw O'Reilly's visit to Colbert. I don't like O'Reilly but bonus points to him for hawking his book to an audience who largely won't buy it.

I saw O'Reilly on Colbert. Having now seen both, it clearly was no contest. The sad thing is that there were probably millions of O'Reilly viewers slapping their knees going "Ha, he's a Frenchie." I was puzzled by the commentators who dismissed Stewart and Colbert as cynically criticizing and making fun of others. O'Reilly does the same thing, except without the fun. That said, O'Reilly is hardly the worst thing out there.

Heh, that part was mildly amusing.

All that coughing, you sure you don't mean Rita Cosby?

I have no idea if she has anything worthwhile to say because I've never managed to stand listening to her voice long enough to find out. Hearing her makes me want to quit smoking, and I don't even smoke!
