O’Really?

I see the Professor has a significant bit of bloggage about Bill O’Reilly this fine day. I just wrote him as follows and thought I’d blog it, since I haven’t ranted for several days now.
My wife (the liberal) loves O’Reilly, although she does recognize when he’s being a total idiot. I think what she really likes is how he drills into some of these people he interviews.
I (the conservative) watch him with her from time to time but frankly I think he’s a pompous ass who expects his audience to be what the Left think Rush’s dittoheads are. He completely blew the interview on the Saudi girls several months ago and I haven’t given a damn for him since, because it was clear he was grandstanding for the audience. His other problem is his total inability to let someone else talk. I can’t count the times I’ve sat there and said, Bill, if you’re going to answer your own question, why did you have this guy (or lady) take the time to come on your show to sit there and listen to you?
I much prefer Cavuto to O’Reilly. I think Fox would make a good move if they canned O’Reilly and gave his 8PM time slot to Cavuto to do general commentary. I’ve never seen O’Reilly really get a leg up on Cavuto, and I think it’s because Cavuto is a real journalist, while O’Reilly is basically a hack.
