O'Reilly Eats Derb's Dust
My wondering aloud yesterday about how one guy with two handguns controlled a building full of people got me the "Worst Person in the World" slot on Kevin Olderman's MSNBC program last night. First place! Last time I was on Ken's list, Bill O'Reilly took the top spot, and I was only trailing at third place. Now the Big Mick's nowhere in sight. Ha! I'm still not too clear about who this Keith Omdurman character is. He's plainly a leftie, though—one of that legion who pine for the days when they could tongue-polish Stalin's boots—so I am proud to be top of his Worst list.
 
And speaking of that very same legion, I shall be on Alan "How High, Mr. Ahmadinejad?" Colmes' radio show tonight around 10:15 EST.

Congratulations!  I cannot watch Mr. Uberdouche for fear of losing my sanity but I understand it’s quite an honor.  Particularly so since you do not appear on a rival TV network with much higher ratings.

I am really envious, and have said so here.

I was denounced once by the New Republic, and by the Wall Street Journal in the same week, but that's nothing to this.

eh
He's plainly a leftie, though—one of that legion who pine for the days when they could tongue-polish Stalin's boots—...

Yes, surely.

I mean, some people might say that remark is both 1) ad hominem, and 2) a kind of fallacy (sort of guilt by association/overly broad inductive, ahem, 'reasoning').

But they would probably also be 'Lefties', and therefore wrong. From some reason or another.

I’m looking forward to your 60’s too Mr. Derbyshire. Congratulations.

It didn't occur to me until later that Uberman chose Derb over Cho Seung-Hui as worst person.  Wow.

I ENVY YOU!  HOW CAN I GET ONE OF THOSE AWARDS?  ACTUALLY, I WAS NOT AWARE THAT ANYONE WATCHES GOOD OLD KEITH, EXCEPT SOME LIBERALS, OF COURSE. 

I ALWAYS WONDERED WHO PICKED UP THOSE PAPERS HE THROWS AROUND.  HE IS TOO ARROGANT TO DO SO HIMSELF.
