Bill O'Reilly + vibrator, George Bush the actor, Allison Barber the director, Harriet Miers the Interrogatee
ONE OF THE FUNNIEST FILMS AVAILABLE ON THE INTERNET. Feeling good is good. Being fooled is good if not good. More wisdom from the Common Man from Crawford:

ON THIS DAY IN 2004, Bill O'Reilly was in trouble for having had naughty sex talk with a woman who was not his wife. He was caught as she had recorded many of their conversations and O'Reilly went on to say that today was the worst day of his life.
That night, Keith Olbermann said:
"Bill O'Reilly said that today is the worst day of his life. He may just not be giving tomorrow enough credit."

More on Bill O'Reilly and his secret interests:
From the November 8, 2004 National Law Journal article, "Sex Harassment and the 'Extortion' Factor" by Debra S. Katz and Andrew Schroeder
http://www.law.com/jsp/article.jsp?id=1099528831129
"...O'Reilly allegedly had numerous telephone conversations with Mackris during which he encouraged her to buy a vibrator, offered to help her use it, told her about his sexual liaisons with other women and subjected her to other vulgarities. According to the complaint, O'Reilly, a married father of two, also allegedly told Mackris that "[i[f any woman ever breathed a word I'll make her pay so dearly that she'll wish she'd never been born." He also told her that any woman who challenged him would not be believed, would be considered "unstable" and raked through the mud."
BILL WAS RIGHT. SHE WAS RAKED THROUGH THE MUD.
The good thing is that money often can make bad things go away. As any good true flag-waving American would do, O'Reilly bought his way out of it. She got a lot of money, dropped the suit, and Bill's TV viewing public kept thinking the rightist had been wronged, and more news without primary sources got to be disseminated by Bill O'Reilly the Husband and Father With An Interest In a Vibrator.

We have another Republican actor as President but his acting skills are not as good as Ronald Reagan's. Yesterday, George W, Bush asked six questions - the six questions that Allison Barber had written for him - to a well rehearsed group of soldiers. Allison had rehearsed them on what would be asked, who should answer,, what they should say, when they should smile and warned that the President could get excited and go off script.
Then, as Allison Barber the MC left her rehearsed performers/hard working soldiers Bush entered and was nowhere near as smooth as he should have been, warring with his earpiece and fumbling with English (I give him credit - he does not fumble when speaking Spanish).
The staging of the event left so much to be desired. I love the fact that this was such a rare occasion in the usually secretive Bush Administration - the video tape exists and it is so controlled. WOW – what a fun tape. This would be so worth a trip to Limewire, KaZaA or some other peer-to-peer network to acquire this piece of history and unintentional open government.

More haiku, this time inspired by the Bush-Pentagon version of Hollywood:
Allison Barber
made her directorial
Debut yesterday
Allison Barber
A pentagon director
I think she did well
She managed to coach
Some non-actor soldiers to
Smile and answer right
You troops can smile from
Time to time and don't go off
Script. He never does
If he stumbles or
starts to stutter, please make sure
that you stutter too
We'll pretend these are
Technical difficulties
And no one will know
It's important that
We convey the happiness
Of the Iraq War
That Iraqis want
Us there, that we'll help them vote
Help them become free
Right now they're free to
Have civil war and cheap gas
But soon they'll love us
Bush had chat time with
The troops yesterday as he
Wanted "to visit"
George's homespun ways
Are as sincere as those of
a used car salesman

A PLEA to those Conservatives Who Don't Believe In George Walker Bush: Please give Harriet Miers a break. Her confirmation hearings could make for great television and Red Sox and Yankee fans need to have some sports to watch.
