libertangoOr at least that's what he's announced writing under his pseudonym, "Bill O'Reilly."
Having made a passing reference to the person I thought was Bill O'Reilly in my previous post, I went to his website, just to peek. There, I read his column for January 21, 2010. In it, he has a rhetorical Q&A:
"(W)hy are voters so disenchanted after only one year of the Obama administration? The short answer is ideology."
Having made that assertion, he then spends two paragraphs giving examples... That have nothing to do with ideology, and everything to do with policy and partisan identity. As I've said before, if a hypothetical President McCain had taken exactly the same actions, I think a Republican flack like "Mr. O'Reilly" would be falling down in praise for Mr. McCain.
But then he lets loose his bombshell:
"If this isn't far left governance, I'm Hugo Chavez."
So, there you have it, from the horse's mouth. Given that our current Administration is a centrist, perhaps even center-right one, Hugo Chavez has finally revealed himself to the credulous American public.
How devilishly clever he's been, having "embedded" himself in an American news outlet ever since the launch of the Fox News Channel in October 1996. 13 long years he's deceived us all, but every scoundrel eventually makes a fatal mistake, and now Mr. Chavez has made his. Also, we can say at last that it isn't a “Bolivarian Revolution” Mr. Chavez has been fomenting, but a "Billovarian Revolution.” Mr. Olbermann, referring to Mr. Chavez night after night as "Bill-o," has been closer than he thought.
It reminds me so much of when humorist novel writer David Brooks revealed himself as the Queen of Sheba.
