Bill O'Rielly hands down. I can't express in words how much I like watching The O'Rielly Factor.

Do you "hate" Rachel Maddow because she's a lesbian, or did you just feel the need to include that irrelevant description of her in an attempt to paint her in what you apparently perceive to be a derogatory light? Just wondering...

Personally, I think Rachel Maddow is great. A graduate of Stanford and Oxford Universities, and a Rhodes Scholar recipient...she's obviously intelligent. I like her unoffensive way of reporting. She's entertaining, but not over the top. She seems fairly humble, too, which is a refreshing change. Just my opinion...


There is definitely something not right about Rachel! She is extremely sarcastic, revealed by her numerous twisted and contorted mouth and facial expressions (sardonic lip movement and ever-so-slight raised eyebrow), low key but very telling. Or is it Tourette's vs. tic delaroux? No, am sure she has practiced them ad nauseum. She is a nasty piece of work and cannot stand to even look at her, much less listen to her rantings. Is that too bitter??!!

Although they're not "Political Pundits" per se, or TV news "personalities", every single one of the hosts on C-SPAN is intelligent and articulate. They're a real pleasure to listen to as they interview their equally (usually) intelligent and articulate guests. No editorializing - just background behind the important news of the day and an opportunity for mainstream folks to call in and present their views. For those who haven't discovered it, C-SPAN - and especially Washington Journal - it's a refreshing change from the norm..

O'Reilly is normally a bigot but in the last Election he was "fair and balanced". He seemed to change after his interview with Obama and became bi-partisan.

I get really cranky when I can't watch Morning Joe. You get a lot of different points of view. I can tell when Joe's off his meds though - I hate it when he starts yelling.

I can't even look at O'Reilly without thinking about the whole loofah-falafel thing. I try, but then I throw up a little in my mouth and have to change the channel.

Stewart, Colbert, and Maher are hilarious. Love them.
