Oh, for pity's sake.. O'Reilly's at it again.

The entire Air America staff should be put in chains because they're traitors.

O'REILLY: And when he [Durbin] went out there, his intent was to whip up the American public against the Bush detainee policy. That's what his intent was. His intent wasn't to undermine the war effort, because he never even thought about it. He never even thought about it. But by not thinking about it, he made an egregious mistake because you must know the difference between dissent from the Iraq war and the war on terror and undermining it. And any American that undermines that war, with our soldiers in the field, or undermines the war on terror, with 3,000 dead on 9-11, is a traitor.

(Hey Bill - how is speaking your mind undermining the war? Fucking fool. But wait, folks, it gets better!)

Everybody got it? Dissent, fine; undermining, you're a traitor. Got it? So, all those clowns over at the liberal radio network, we could incarcerate them immediately. Will you have that done, please? Send over the FBI and just put them in chains, because they, you know, they're undermining everything and they don't care, couldn't care less.

I'd be pissed off, but at this point the shrillness of freaks like O'Reilly is just laughable. I can't wait to see what The Daily Show makes of this.

Excuse me, Noah, but how do you know nobody listens to Air America?

That's easy! First, I looked up the stations carrying Air America, and then checked their awful ratings. And second, if they had any sort of traction at all, we'd be reading gloating stories in the liberal media rather than gloating stories in the conservative media.

I'll grant that I did exaggerate, though, when I said "no one." :-)

Air America is one of the channels available on XM radio, so it's difficult to tell exactly how many people are listening. That's how Jeff & I listen to them, and I doubt we're counted in the ratings.

I wonder how Al Franken's show on Sundance (which is his radio show with a camera:) is counted. It was, according to Sundance, brought back by popular demand.
