"SNIP..........................................

his “Talking Points Memo” tonight, Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly announced he‘ll be pairing up with Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart for a 90-minute debate. It will stream online on Oct. 6.

O’Reilly said the debate will center on three topics: the national debt, American relations in Muslim countries and gas prices.

“I feel so strongly about this that I’m teaming up with my pal Jon Stewart to do a 90-minute debate on those and other vital issues,” O’Reilly said.

He said they were calling it “The Rumble in the Air-Conditioned Auditorium” and it will be formatted like a presidential debate, “without all the phoniness and pomposity.” Furthermore, O’Reilly said there will be a Q&A with the live audience and those streaming online can submit questions.

1. So, a person who might have some experience as a stand-up comedian will be on stage

with an ultimate heckler ...

Guess which one would be better at ad-libbing?

2. Jon Stewart is really, really bright. I've seen him debate many guests. He's

very well informed about what is behind all the talking points. I think he'll wipe the floor with o'reilly.

3. Is Glen Beck moderating?

I'll not be giving them a view.
