O'Reilly's Self Destruction...
...So perfectly distracting, now I'm getting suspicious.

An opinion piece out of New Jersey captures the current story on O'Reilly and his court battles. To quote the article, "...he [O'Reilly] confirmed his status as the raging bull of cable news -- a super-macho drama queen bashing his head against the wall of a jail cell he built himself, and grooving on the pain."

I'm awarding Bonus Points to this article, for skewering Ann Coulter along with Bill.

So, why am I suspicious? This debacle for O'Reilly is such a welcome roadside wreck for liberals, I fear that it may distract them from the current priority. Remember- there's a presidential election at stake in short order; now isn't the time to guffaw at the buffoonery of far-right icons. Even knowing this, it's hard for me (example: this blog note) not to rubberneck this event. As the article also states, "You know you should turn away, but you can't, because if you do, you might miss an even more spectacular disaster."

I worry that this whole thing is a distraction cooked up by O'Reilly himself, in concert with a faithful double-agent intern. We all get focused on this little "situation" and suddenly wake up in November, having forgotten to vote, and Bush is still President.
