Bill O'Reilly massive ego

Bill O'Reilly's long, slow slide towards insanity shows no sign of stopping - last week the Falafel Master started an online petition asking the chairman of NBC to replace Keith Olbermann with Phil Donahue in order to "rescue MSNBC from the ratings basement."

It's really very kind of Mr. O'Reilly to give Keith Olbermann this free publicity - no doubt plenty of viewers will now tune in to "Countdown" in order to find out why Thin-Skinned Bill has got a stick up his ass this time. And Keith really does seem to be enjoying this just a little too much!

It's funny though - Bill doesn't seem so concerned about the ratings of MSNBC's conservative shows. According to Media Matters, both "Scarborough Country" and "The Situation With Tucker Carlson" garner lower ratings than "Countdown." Perhaps MSNBC should consider replacing either of those shows with Phil Donahue.

Better still - the Huffington Post is now running a counter-petition to Fox News head honcho Roger Ailes which states:

We, the undersigned, are becoming increasingly concerned about the mental health of the host of your 8:00 PM EST show on Fox News Channel. This host has claimed:

1) San Francisco should be attacked by al-Qaeda terrorists ("homicide bombers").

2) There's a conspiracy to cancel the extremely popular Christmas holiday, even though the culture of Christmas is prevalent in America for nearly three months of every year.

3) That opponents of his show favor personal attacks and smearing, while he routinely employs the pejorative "pinheads" to describe anyone who disagrees with him.

4) That he never used the phrase "shut up" even though he's on-record saying that phrase dozens of times.

5) He has yet to publicly address his sexual penchant for soapy falafel sandwiches and female underlings.

6) He routinely misrepresents factual information (often called "lying"), then claims he told the truth, but will occasionally recant and admit to flagrantly misleading his viewers.


As a result, we recommend that you uphold your "fair and balanced" reputation and replace your 8:00 PM EST host with popular talk show host Phil Donahue.
