I think actually Oreilly didn't hold a poll for interviewing Klein. He conducted a poll last fall about Kitty Kelly and her Bush Family Bash Book, which was huge in response to not have Kelly on air. So Oreilly attacked Klein's book also, tyring to look like an independent. I don't think He ever conducted a poll if he should have Klein on, because he knew the response would have been yes.
"I think actually Oreilly didn't hold a poll for interviewing Klein."
He said he did. He said that he held one for the Kitty Kelly book and stated that the same would apply to the other end of the spectrum with the Klein book. Both polls were negative and he used that as an example that the "folks" didn't care for "bomb-throwers" left or right.
For the record, I don't always agree with O'Reilly. Maybe 60% of the time. That said, I don't think he is as bad as many here make him out to be. Just my personal tastes and opinion.
