I know that. BORe has filled out a fictional character with flesh and blood. Couldn’t agree with Limbaugh more.

prayers for your back :(

Is surgery an option?

I hope you find more of a remedy than percocet.

Living with pain like that is awful.

Tex Baxter is very likely the funniest, most entertaining sitcom character ever created.

Bill O’Reilly is funny, but not in a ha-ha way.

Unfortunately, neither clip includes Ted's classic on-air obituary.

Here is a good tribute to Ted Knight (Ted Baxter):

And I think the BOR is a lot like this character.

That actor, Ted Knight, was a Combat Engineer in WW2...Bronze Star times five.

Rush is correct about O'Reilly.

Rush is also right about Hannity.

Rush is also right about Rush.

But, I will still need all of them on the air, TV and radio.

O'Reilly irritates me to no end, but I'd rather have him on the air than the likes of Olberman or Matthews. Imagine the nightmare if O'Reilly wasn't on the air and Olberman, by default, were to get a larger audience and become number one on his time slot. You'd never hear the end of it. O"Reilly serves a purpose, even if that's just to take away audience from the libs on the other networks.

Hannity may not be a Rush, but he's still on our side, even when he sounds ambiguous when it comes to him being republican or libertarian or independent. His rhetoric and arguments mostly favor the republican positions.

Like many fat people who have an inner thin person ...

You need to get a life, you actually seem to buy that garbage.

Ted Baxter was a plastic, whiny, bumbling newscaster on the Mary Tyler Moore Show,

but Ted Baxter was empty-headed... dumb... and that's what made him likeable... to me, BOR does not come across as a simpleton.. he is an arrogant, self-important jackbutt... not likeable at all... he is the anti-Tony Snow...

I think he gave the skank some ammo, and as skanks will, she turned on him after turning him on.
