Bill O'Reilly prefaces his introduction to President Bush's interview saying he will "be complete" and "the Presidents' answers will be in their totality".
I appreciate that Bill but why do you need to introduce spin to the words which come straight from the POTUS? We don't need a Democratic mouthpiece to tell us what President Bush just said directly to us! "That sir is the essence of spin!" Wake up Bill and get back on track, No Spin.
(Or should we take this to chat?)
Bill is gunning to be the new Rather. As far as I can tell, it worked fine. Good practice for the debates. Not one drop of sweat on the Prez's brow.
What's with the crappy link?
Sorry Bout that!

Geeze~ What is that link?? Bunch of crap spam!
O'Reilly is starting to lose me. This new "extremist centrist" philosophy of his - taking the middle ground on every issue with complete disregard for right or wrong - is an intellectually vacuous cop out. He used to be okay, but now he's just a ratings whore.
I got so dizzy from Bill O'Reilly's 'no spin zone' that I fell off his bandwagon a year ago. He's a liberal through and through.
I thought it was an outstanding interview. I'm not a fan of teasing it all last week, dividing it into 3 segments and running it all this week, or of the weekly reader before and after summaries, or of the commielib "response".
However, from a pure interview standpoint, it's one of the best of the whole campaign. O'Reilly asked tough questions and the President answered them perfectly.
And of course, by dragging this out over 3 nights, it sucks the oxygen from the Kerry campaign monday tuesday and wednesday just before the first debate on Thursday.
The contrast with Kerry couldn't be greater. He goes on lib friendly entertainment programs and still won't give a straight answer to softballs lobbed by David Letterman, Don Imus, Jon Stewart or even Kelly Rippa for goodness sake.
Kerry's response to the first installment was lame lame lame lame lame. Bush is like "I want the troops to know they have the thanks of a grateful nation" and Kerry is all "how DARE he wear a flight suit a year ago?"
