Felafel Boy

I honestly don't understand the appeal of a thug like Bill O'Reilly. My father used to watch him, mostly for laughs, I think. I happened to be visiting and O'Reilly was on the TV. My only comment was "He almost makes sense." My dad answered, "Almost."

He's gotten more extreme, from everything I hear. But I don't get the compulsive reporting in the left blogosphere on the doings of O'Reilly. He easily eclipses Malkin, Limbaugh, and Coulter as the featured wingnut on any given day. Maybe it's just another instance of O'Reilly continually insisting that he's important and people who shoul dknow better buy into it. His ego seems to have gotten completely out of hand, however. (It really amazes me that this story has showed up on every blog on my daily read list. Every one. Why? The man is a nonentity with a soapbox.)
