Here they go again. Remember when O'Reilly said he'd never forgive this regime if it was proven there weren't WMDs...then conveniently ignored it when the spin turned to going after the "terrorists" our invasion had created. A zero-sum game the right wing media constantly plays to give them cover if someone dares to expose their hypocrisies.

The fun here is I don't think many of the wing nut spinners know what to make of DeLay's mess. They know it's bad, they know it's real and they know they can't hide it much longer. But they also know this guy is a "god" to their coven of listeners and the big money donors. Pissing off this guy is like pissing off Don Corleone (or Sonny may be a better comparison)...they have long grown to fear this weasel that unless they see him dead with a silver spike through the heart, they will fear his influence and power. An interesting spot to be in indeed.

Looks like O'Reilly has been chosen to play "good cop" on this sham network...and ironically, it does make Faux look more balanced compared to its rivals. During the Schaivo circus, O'Reilly was one of the few voices that favored removing the tube and that looked almost "left wing" in comparison with the coverage on the other networks. Sure, no sooner was O'Reilly gone than there's Hannity doing a trailer-trash rally at the Hospice, but for that 60 minutes Faux actually looks "balanced", and gives Repugnicans and the network cover in being so shrill and over-the-top...not to mention highly innacurate the rest of the time.
