Bill O'Reilly: Edwards is finished as a candidate

[bigdarryl]

He was talking about Edwards on how he handled the blogger situation. My question is what did Edwards do wrong as far as this situation. i think O'Reilly is blowing smoke up his ass.

[a kennedy]

1. and really who's going to remember these two bloggers next year???

IT'S WAY TO EARLY IN THE CAMPAIGN ANYWAY!!

[gasperc]

10. let alone next week

it's Febuary, Karl Rove made a point on Politico the other, some of the candidates may wear out their welcome with such an early start to the campaign.

McCain is sinking like a rock, Guliani is probably peaking too early. Clinton has to stay #1 for two years. Obama has maybe the best chance for an upset but again could peak early and then the public grow weary. Edwards shot out fast, is dropping but may resurge. And then there is the second tier any of which could emerge as top tier when the others where out their welcome.

2. The fact that oreilly & co are complaining about Edwards

means the GOP really really doesn't want Edwards as the candidate.

[marmar]

3. Yesterday's news.....

Boy, Bill O'Reilly is really losing it.

[BearSquirrel2]

5. What do you mean

Losing it? It's too late for that.

4. O'Reilly is not the one who decides who is "finished" as a candidate...

Edwards did nothing wrong in this situation, as far as I'm concerned. The blogger's had the right to give their opinions on the blogs and Edwards defended that in the beginning. Now, they have both resigned and that should be the end of it. O'Reilly and Donahue should move on to more important issues and personally I wish they would both resign, for what spews out of their mouths everyday, which in my opinion is nothing but bigotry and hate.

12. O'Reilly still suffering under the delusion of being a King-Maker. n/t

[SoFlaJet]

6. The only reasaon any of us listen to him

is to either laugh at his ignorance or to talk about what an idiot he truly is-Edwards is a very real possibility for us for '08-he's my number one choice right now-until hopefully Gore declares anyway

[meegbear]

7. Yes, Edwards is finished as a candidate

And Shawn Hornbeck was having fun with Michael devlin than with his old parents.
And I'm not wearing any underwear.

[samq79]

16. Yeah, and O'Reilly is finished as a pundit...

I know, wishful thinking...

[meegbear]

18. Only when he stops staying stupid things he'll be finished ...

well on faux anyways. And ...

:party: WELCOME ABOARD!! :party:

[vi5]

8. Well, he lost my primary vote but not for the reason O'Reilly says

He lost it because rather than taking the opportunity to fight back and point out Donohue and co.'s hypocricy and how the right wing noise machine spoon fed this to the mainstream media, he pulled the whole "I was personally offended" bullcrap.

I'm sorry. I like Edwards. But the last thing I'm going to vote for is another person who is going to approach this crap with a "Well, they do have a point...." or "I'm not going to lower myself to their level" approach.

[IndianaGreen]

24. This is one of the reasons why O'Reilly has made Olbermann's worst person in the world

as many times as he has. Having said that, I have to agree with your comment that Edwards should have stood up to Donohue, the same man that said that Hollywood was being run by godless secular Jews.

It was Democratic appeasement of the rightwing that gave us IWR, torture, military tribunals, and the loss of habeas corpus.

[hobbit709]

9. At least O'lielly is equally an expert

on this as on everything else 0=0.

[tanyev]

11. Pearls of wisdom from the Great Master of Falafel Phone Sex?

Please excuse me while I raise one eyebrow in skeptical disbelief.



(We so need a smiley that does that.)

[jobycom]

13. Damn, see, I think Edwards is finished, but if O'Reilly says it, it must be wrong.

So welcome back, John Edwards. :rofl:

But I shouldn't insult insult O'Reilly. He's one bad mamajama, from what I hear. Of course, the only person I hear that from is him.

[xultar]

14. ...and we listen to O'Liely because....

[Red Zelda]

15. Oh, fuck all politicians

Let's make Bill-O president!

[KoKo]

17. Edwards has time to recover...but...he needs to get over the apology

thing that has kept Dems down for so long. He should have brought out the Media Control being a mouth piece for RW Religious Radicals...but probably thought it would sidetrack the issues he wants to talk about.

Bill O'Reilly is dancing on Edwards grave too soon.

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

19. O'Reilly once again cements his position...

As The Loud Drunk on The End Barstool who happens to have his own TV show.

[leftyladyfrommo]

20. Oh, I hope not. I'm kind of down to Edwards and Obama.

I like Edwards a lot.

I don't think that blogger deal amounts to anything at all. It will be gone in two days.

[zulchzulu]

21. So Bill McFalafel is a kingmaker?

Bugger off, Bill.

[DrDan]

22. ah yes - from the guy who predicted the demise of the Dixie Chicks and Ludacris

[Arkana]

23. Edwards: Bill O'Really can suck my left n--

TRANSMISSION INTERRUPTED

[saltpoint]

25. Were he not a sneering psychopath, people might take what O'Reillly

says more seriously.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

26. Bill O'Reilly: Ludacris is finished in show business

The French Economy is history.

Given Bill's track record in prognostication, I'd say that Elizabeth can start picking out the drapes.
