Petition: Replace O'Reilly with Donahue
This week, Bill O'Reilly has circulated a petition asking NBC Chairman Bob Wright to replace Keith Olbermann with Phil Donahue -- out of concern for MSNBC's ratings. Oh that O'Reilly. So devilishly clever.

In response, I've started a petition calling for Roger Ailes to replace O'Reilly with Donahue out of concern for O'Reilly's growing mental instability.

Join me in signing the petition here.

http://www.petitiononline.com/0donahue/petition.html

"Dear Your Honor Roger Ailes,

We, the undersigned, are becoming increasingly concerned about the mental health of the host of your 8:00 PM EST show. This host has claimed:

1) San Francisco should be attacked by al-Qaeda terrorists ("homicide bombers").

2) There's a conspiracy to cancel the extremely popular Christmas holiday, even though the culture of Christmas is prevalent in America for nearly three months of every year.

3) That opponents of his show favor personal attacks and smearing, while he routinely employs the pejorative "pinheads" to describe anyone who disagrees with him.

4) That he never used the phrase "shut up" even though he's on-record saying that phrase dozens of times.

5) He has yet to publicly address his sexual penchant for soapy falafel sandwiches and female underlings.

6) He routinely misrepresents factual information (often called "lying"), then claims he told the truth, but will occasionally recant and admit to flagrantly misleading his viewers.

4. signed earlier and sent this to Olbermann:
Keith- I want to help you smite the Loofah-Luvin' O-Reilly, once and for all! These links will take you to a video confrontation Phil Donahue had with O'Reilly on "The Factor". Perhaps you can remind Falafel Boy on air that his suggested replacement for you hates his guts!

TRANSCRIPT: http://www.newshounds.us/2005/09/22/verbal_donnybrook_on_the_factor_donahue_kos_oreilly.php#more


BTW, there is an online petition to Roger Ailes requesting that O'Reilly be replaced with Phil Donahue- read the "Comments"- they're hilarious!
