Fox News Channel star Bill O'Reilly has invited New York Sen. Hillary Clinton to co-host the debut of his nationally syndicated radio show, and if she works out the invite could be permanent.
O'Reilly's is set to hit the AM airwaves on May 8, (which, incidentally, is the eleventh anniversary of the day Hillary's husband asked a certain Little Rock office gal to "kiss it"). Mrs. Clinton is among several "very bright women" the TV talker says he would like to audition.
"We're going to bring in the feminine point of view," the FNC host tells the New York Post in Thursday editions. "We're going to give them a shot and see how it works for us."
O'Reilly's radio show is set to go live opposite reigning radio mega-talent Rush Limbaugh on KABC in Los Angeles and on tape delay on WOR in New York, with the station's king of political talk, Bob Grant, moving to the 5 to 7 p.m. ET time slot.
"The Factor" host told his TV audience last night he'd be announcing other stations soon.
Sen. Clinton has been a semi-regular guest with WOR's Joan Hamburg, who generally sticks to consumer issues and avoids hard political talk.
WABC Radio offered Clinton her own talk show during her 2000 Senate campaign, but insisted that the station's regular screeners handle her callers, a stipulation that was considered a deal breaker.
So far, Mrs. Clinton has not responded to O'Reilly's offer, the Post said.
Pure PR buzz baloney from O'Reilly.
He's unique on TV but nothing special on radio. He won't be able to book the same caliber of guests, unless he does that Hannity deal where they double-book for TV and radio.
People like to listen to somebody with rock-solid opinions and an ideological point of view. O'Reilly's ideology is so haphazard, he won't be able to articulate his opinions for that long.
I think O'Reilly is pulling someone's leg. He can't stand Hillary, and she can't stand him.
What does that have to do with Hilliary?
I'm not an O'Reiley fan, and this sure doesn't make me come any closer to being one. What a dunce!
It would be interesting to hear him hammer Hillary about Clinton's proclivities and Hillary's enabling reluctance to properly address it all. Also, O'Reilly better not jump on Hannity or Rush's show or I am verbally going to bust a chop.
And a perfectly justifiable ratings ploy from O'Reilly, IMHO.
I'm seeing the bare beginnings of the social pendulum beginning to swing back towards the center to right. O'Reilly's gambit could be to expose more mind-numbed robots to the actual idea of thinking, through what will obviously be some political fireworks; and to expose some fence-sitters to a more conservative ideal through his own message. It doesn't matter, though, if Hillary appears or not. I think he may believe the fence-sitters are more important, and they jusr might tune in, Hillary or not.
For the record, I think O'Reilly has plenty of conservative content in his politics. I agree with him most of the time.
I had the same thought but seem to recall him getting cozy with Begala and Carvile and seemed to boast when Hillary commented that she felt sorry for him awhile back. I am stunned and disappointed beyond words. If he wants pithy comments, just wait until he reads my e-mail.
I remember when he decided that doctors shouldn't make over $400K per year, and wanted that legislated. Not that more than a handful of docs make that much, unless they're abortionists, but who is HE to tell anyone what they can and cannot make? He passes gas for a couple of weeks and makes that much!!
Much of what he says is just free-floating emoting and off-the-cuff bluster. I think Shepherd Smith should get more of a tumble in the interview/idea shows. I saw him once conduct an interview and he was dynamite--surprisingly, not a lightweight at ALL . Also, SS is younger and more fun to watch than the aging O'Reilly (this is show business after all, shouldn't I get to watch someone pretty?).
Well, OK, but you'll have to find a channel to produce "The AmishDude Hour".
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Then...they are barking up the wrong tree.
Maybe if they want the radical marxist woman's point of view, or the N.O.W. woman's point of view...or the Demo Socialist leftist woman's point of view. But the "feminine point of view"? ROFLOL!!! What a hoot...!!
