Interestingly enough, O'Reilly has this wonderfully seductive promo spot, that's played repeatedly here in western Vermont, where he explains that the likes of Howard Dean and somebody else didn't dare come on his show/program because he asks the tough questions and they would not appear on the factor because(essentially) they couldn't think on their feet sufficiently to defend their positions. Or perhaps the suggestion was that they weren't men of sufficient conviction to explain their positions under O'Reillys stern stare.

He's so convinced he's such a tough customer(LOL). But me, when I hear the promo, I always wish I could ask(over the public air waves) whether they are just too smart to impale themselves on O'Reilly's editing.

Though I don't/didn't support HoHo, I believe, given an open mike with no editing, former Governor Dean would whip O'Reilly senseless. Provided O'Reilly was gagged long enough for Howard to be heard. (that's a reference to B.O.'s penchant of shouting one down when he is outwitted. Hell, if I didn't succomb to stage fright, I believe I could win a debate with big bad Bill.

I don't see that Kerry has everything to lose by exposing himself to this closet neo-con-fascist.

Shame on me for being judgemental, I mean thinkin' Cletus. Duh

LOL
