I’ll put all my bets on Stephen.
Report thisO’Reilly is neither an entertainer nor a truthteller. Just a sensationalist. He can hold the interest of only those who don’t expect much!

Well Bill O’Reilly has finally admitted that he is in fact a comic and not a person of fact and thusly newsworthy and truthful, or is it he thinks Colbert’s comedy is actually the real news?

The monkey on O’Reilly’s back has beaten its tambourine so loudly for so long that he is tone deaf to the orchestra that is the world. His words and actions prove that he not only does not see the glass, he does not sense what it is half full of. He is the nativity of Corporatism.

Let’s see how well the O’Reilly ‘Crap’tor holds up against Colbert ‘truthiness’. I love it..I don’t think these right wing clowns get it.

The fate of our nation surely rests on the outcome of this epic event. A Colbert “surge” will be the new way forward.

Colbert is going to take him apart.
It will be cruel and unusual.

O’Reilly is an intellectual midget and can’t hold a candle to Colbert’s masterful wit. O’Reilly’s greatest claim to fame was his fake “war on Christmas’’ that no one in his right mind paid any attention. O’Reilly is a sexual vulture to underlings (past reports)and a pimp to Bush stupidicisms - a real low-class act.

Our unfortunate bipartisanship morphed into entertainment--a chance to see who’s hero can prevail. Sorry, got no stomach for it whatsoever.

I wonder if Bill O’Reilly really understands that the Stephen Colbert on the Colbert Report is not the real Stephen Colbert but Stephen Colbert playing Stephen Colbert?
