Pat Doherty says: Steve
Do you think O’Reilly will break 5 mil tonight?
TfT says: What/when did he have higher ratings?
Ted says: I think the last time O’Reilly had over 5 million was when he interviewed a goat. I bet Plain, excuse me, “Sarah” breaks that record.
Fidoohki says: O’Reilly is going to blow the doors off Hannity tonight.

Are you trying to say that O’Reilly’s program is so good, that he could interview a goat and still pull in better ratings than the all the other networks?
Sunnyr says: If O’Reilly continues to ask Sarah Palin SEXIST questions like “are you sure your are SMART enough to be President of the United States,” she should get up and walk out. The SEXIST PIG did not ask this same question of Barack Obama last year! Moron!

Come on, Sunny… be serious. One of the most common complaints or criticisms against Palin is that she’s “dumb,” or “not smart enough.” Asking her the question wasn’t sexist, it was relevant to the comments made by many on the left (fair or not fair as the case may be). It gave her an opportunity to address them! It wasn’t O’Reilly saying, “You’re a woman, and dumb,” it was O’Reilly saying, “A lot people don’t think you’re smart enough, how do you respond to that.”
Ben Linus says: Sunnyr, why don’t you go take a walk or something, maybe have a coke and a smile.
Ted says: ImNotBlue -
I’m saying that “Sarah” is, on the margins a better interview than a goat, but some may not be able to detect even minor differences between the two. For instance, the various and sundry nut jobs that watch Fox. Hey, if O’Reilly is able to pull in 5-6 million people to watch an interview with a farm animal or for that matter Glenn Beck, I say more power to him.
Nachi says: Now there’s an intellectual dynamic duo!!

Oh, I get it Ted. You think everybody who doesn’t think exactly like you do is dumb! I get it… you’re a egomaniac with a God complex! I understand now!
Forgive me. I must remember that you, and respect for other people, are unrelated entities.

Obama’s National Security Chief Of Staff Goes ‘Nucular’
After years of the cringe-worthy pronunciation of nu-cu-lar during the Bush White House, it seemed like we finally had an administration who had a litmus test in staffing their National Security detail - pronounce the word "nuclear." Not so. During an interview to discuss Iran's weapons program with MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell today, National Security Chief of Staff Denis McDonough definitely uttered the term Nucular. Gotcha! Right-wing critics eager for payback? Go! Video after the jump.
