I watched him (interview???) more like Badger Blago for a few minutes.
He asked nothing of relevance and kept asking the same question over and over trying to get Blago to say that higher ups in the Dem party, Rahm Emanuel, David Axlerod, Tony Rezko or even Obamao were involved in his decision to appoint a Senator to fill Obamao's seat!

You could see that Blago was reluctant to answer that question.

He's under indictment, his lawyers have instructed him on what he can talk about, he could place himself in more jeopardy - I don't know

But there was O'Badger hammerin' away and getting nothing for his effort!
Weak!

Why he had Blago on in the first place is questionable! Ratings more than likely.

Go away O'Bloviator... You suck!

O'Reilly realized that Blago was not going to answer the questions he didn't want to.
Credit should be given to Bill for trying. It was worth a try and made Blago look even worse.
I don't think O'Reilly did it for "ratings" since Blago is hardly popular.

Q - Why doesn't good ol Bill invite others to his (fair and balanced) show: Dick Cheney about "gentle" interrogations of suspects and plans to invade Iraq before 9/11, Donald Rumsfeld on similar issues, former senator Larry Craig, Mark Sanford, Ted Haggard, Paul Bremer, just to name a few.
IMHO, he should interview them on issues they don't want to talk about - in his fair and balanced style. He would be given much credit for trying.

Cheney won't go on O'Reilly same for McCain. He has invited them.

He may have invited the others as well. One does not have to go on his show if they don't want to. Why give the womanizers a forum anyway? I don't really want to see them make excuses for bad behavior.

Blago has been on before so O'Reilly had him back to give an update. Blago didn't want to tell much.

His show is me, me, me, me and me!

I agree. I think O'Reilly is pompous and not very entertaining. It is the same crap, over and over again. Michael Savage may be a little nutty, but at least the guy is entertaining!

O'Reilly has invited those you mentioned on his show. He can't force anyone to be on his show!

I think he is one of the best (and fairest) commentators out there.

O'Reilly: Remember, "the spin stops here".

Every day, but not always for the full hour.

How about you?
