    What is this "racial bigotry" O'Reilly speaks of?

    I kind of looked at Bill O'Reilly's defense of Dobbs as an admission that the doesn't hold news commenters like himself to the same standard that he would hold an actual reporter. I don't agree with that viewpoint. I believe that whether you are analyzing the news or reporting it, you have responsibility to truth and reason. However, I don't know that Dobbs deserves to lose his job. I didn't see all of the Dobbs coverage on this pseudo-issue, so I can't say how badly he crossed this line.

    At the beginning of the recording (13 seconds in), Bill O. refers to all of this nonsense as a "theory," which is misleading as well. A theory has to be somewhat supported by facts. I would suggest that wild speculation would be a more apt description.

    Richard Cohen: "We have dead police officers in Pittsburgh and dead police officers in Florida, who are upset about the Obama Presidency..." WTF? (2min 29secs). Seriously, WTF?

    @ChillbearLatrigue: Regardless of what anyone agrees with, Bill seems confused about the concept of freedom of speech. This misunderstanding may explain a lot: He appears to believe it entitles commentators to say whatever they want on TV without repercussions.

    @ChillbearLatrigue: Yeah, Chill, drinks on me to whomever can figure out Cohen's "theory" of dead, yet still opposed, police officers. That was bizarre.

    If Lou Dobbs was causing danger to someone, then you would be legitimate in calling for his firing.

    Now that's irony, Bill. Or doesn't "Tiller the Baby-Killer" ring a bell?

    Maybe it's just me but there's something about Ruth Madoff's look that suggests Kelly Ripa in thirty years.

    Richard and Ruth should take a subway ride together to chat about what might have been. It's easy to envision this man sitting despondently beneath a "99 cents Does More" sign.

    It is quite possible that at one point in time Richard Cohen was a lean, mean syndicated columnist speaking Truth to Power. No more. In the intervening years he has gotten chubby, gnawing on the bones thrown to him from under The Political Establishment's table. Whereas once Cohen might have valiantly fought Tha Man, he now fetches The Man's slippers in the hopes of a liver-flavored dog yummy (Averted Gaze). Cohen's now a mockery, preoccupied with his own blather. The great syndicated columnists today are the bloggers.
