“You are completely correct, except on Ed Sullivan... I really liked that guy when I was a kid! ; ~ )”
Yeah, I did too. But you must admit, Ed (another Irishman) was basically a facilitator for other people’s talents, but then again, perhaps that is a talent in itself. It must be or Ed and BOR wouldn’t have maintained their popularity, show-wise for so long.
I guess the difference was that Ed wasn’t trying to tell us how we should think about any particular situation and Ed didn’t bloviate as much as the bloviator in chief O’Reilly.
