NEW YORK (Reuters) - Lawyers for conservative Fox News commentator Bill O'Reilly said on Tuesday they believe a fellow employee accusing him of sexual harassment has recordings of calls between them and they are seeking a court order to obtain them.
He's so dead. If he wasn't playing phone footsie then he wouldn't be worried about it.... Poor wife.
Ever wonder why so many other countries hate us? Envy, of course. It's like hating the homecoming queen. We hate her, but we want to be just like her.
I am sick of hearing how this country has "never been more divided." Excuse me? Weren't we so divided in the last election that it took a freakin month to decide the election? And Clinton was no landslide either. We have been divided for a long time and we will continue to be no matter which party wins the presidency.
The divide is at the very heart of the Democratic and Republican parties. We see things in a fundamentally different way. I don't think I need to go over the ideological differences here, everyone knows them. I don't see that changing anytime soon. Nor do I see how it could change. Why? Because of the compromises the Presidents of both parties have made in the past. Bush senior compromised on taxes and raised them like a good democrat, but fought an excellent war like a Republican. Clinton governed like a Republican in most ways on trade and welfare reform, but kept true to the social issues for democrats. There are many conservatives who don't even consider George W. Bush a conservative in the least. He spends like a democrat but holds strong to conservative family values. Sorta the opposite of Clinton.
You see? Neither party gets to see their vision fully played out, so we keep pushing and pushing for that. Reagan came close to being pure on his beliefs and vision and governing that way. That's why so many of us loved him. And not just half of America either.
To me it basically comes down ideologically to those who want to tolerate just about everything, damn the consequences and the children, and those who want to stop that train of 'anything goes' before we end up as some Sodom and Gamorrah. How do you expect these two visions to ever compromise? We don't. They won't. But our government does it for us. Our Presidents do it for us.
Maybe that's not such a bad thing.
Have you seen the new MoveOn PAC ad bashing Bush where Bush is asked to name his biggest mistake since 9-11? The ad was produced by the meathead himself...that's right. Rob Reiner. I suppose it is possible for an actor to actually morph into the character he played on TV.
