COMMENTLINE
Bill O'Reilly greeted me on AOL this morning.

On the Welcome screen, AOL blasted the headline: Stepping Into Ring With Bill O'Reilly Is Getting Crowded

Huh? Wasn't that last week's news?

Having gained much from my association with AOL in the past, I am usually the last person to overly criticize them for the small stuff. However, the folks in the AOL newsroom were pretty slow on the uptake and missed this netbuzz. I realize AP just ran the BillDave story on Sunday and AOL just picked the story up for Monday. For AOL's sake, I guess I'll have to defer to the old saying, "Better late than never."

As far as the actual story goes, could it be that Bill O'Reilly is actually smarter than all the liberal elites he baits into irrational attacks? (Take note Media Matters, Keith Olbermann.)

Only Bill's ratings know for sure.
