Headsup, O'LOOFAH is going to comment on COLBERT on The View

His soulmate in self-promotion, Bahbwah WAHWAH, already warmed up the topic, pretending to ask the hard journalistic question, whether COLBERT's "politics" would be a factor in the late nite gig's success or failure. Yaas, she's *such* a journalist.

Oh, later Christina PERRI is singing. Hope it's her one-hit-wonder, "Jar of Hearts."

...and is about to become the kind of household name O'Reilly can only dream of becoming. And Colbert did it without having to fellate Roger Ailes on a daily basis. Colbert is his own person in a way O'Reilly will never be.

2. Exactly. Here's a repost about how O'LOOFAH's life motivation is his GRUDGES

His whole Faux career is an attempt to overcome his failures at the "real" networks. He claims to have been "a war correspondent" in the Falkland Islands, yeah. Probably on a Brit ship, safe and sound. Oh, but then he says he did all the really hard work of a really big BIG story and expected this would be his big break onto face time on the evening news, but the suits decided this was SO big that a Bigger Face was needed, somebody better known, so they flew Bob SCHIEFFER in to swoop in and swipe the glory and it rankles him to this day.

I used to detest Don sLimus since his hatchet job on CLINTON at the Correspondents Dinner, then when he got booted from MSNBC for racism, on through my honeymoon with Mika Mouse, but midway through Campaign '12 I ditched the Scabs circus and tiptoed back to sLimus and have developed an armslength appreciation. He's got the Western/southern chip on the shoulder, trying to convince the rest of the country and especially Easterners that he's smart. And I totally detest his pal Kinky FRIEDMAN, but he's excellent at targeting big name, especially Eastern elites, buttering them up, setting them up, then when they've totally lowered their guard STRIKING like a snake to puncture the pomposity.

So he did it pricelessly to O'LOOFAH, when O'LOOFAH was basking in his best selling ghost written JFK retread. So sLimus went through the whole massaging process, bootlicking about the best sellerism of all his books, asking about the "new" facts that only O'LOOFAH had discovered in the JFK story, on and on. And O'LOOFAH, whose paranoia really needs massaging to get his guard to go down even a little, finally was a bit blasé, and then finally sLimus STRUCK!1 He was well aware of the old CBS grudge with SCHIEFFER, so totally innocently he said (paraphrasing), "With all the new information in your JFK book, did you ever hear how Bob SCHIEFFER got his start with the network through the JFK assassasination?" There was INSTANT ICE in the air and O'LOOFAH stiffly said, "No." So sLimus innocently recited how SCHIEFFER was a young nobody at the local Dallas station while the assassination events were playing through and answered the phone and it was OSWALD's mother calling to ask for a ride to OSWALD's apartment, and SCHIEFFER *jumped* to his car to go drive her. sLimus innocently listed each detail showcasing how HUGH this reporter's luck was in a HUGH story, all the while knowing O'LOOFAH's grudge was tying knots in ulcerations.

At the end sLimus twisted the knife with a rhetorical question about wasn't that a wonderful story about SCHIEFFER as a reporter? Crickets on O'LOOFAH's end of the phone. Bwah-ha-HAH!!!!!!1

template. COLBERT has to be better than KIMMEL and FALLON, they're good. He's got to come out of his LITTLE PERSONA. Will Conservatives give him a chance?! They'll SAMPLE. He's got to be funniER (than KIMMEL/FALLON)."

Meanwhile, the persona Colbert has used since his Daily Show days has been an open caricature of "Poppa Bear".

And really, what has O'Reilly done in 22 years except ossify more and more?

O'Reilly is so very jealous of Colbert that it is not funny. Colbert has been in effect mocking O'Reilly for ten years and is now being rewarded for these efforts.
