For all of O'Reilly's crowing last week about how it would be the most widely viewed in history (and therefore the most important), this was an interview (transcript) of the Larry King variety. No here, much less a there.
As far as the numbers go, given same or similar circumstances, they would be about the same regardless of the interviewer. Even Keith Olbermann.
Or Ed Schultz. :-))
Why not ask about betraying the Brits? (See also the Geneva meeting notes)
One thing that should now be crystal clear to all NATO members: The
It's no small wonder that Israel has been critical of the Obama Administration's public posturing throughout the Egyptian protests. By going public with demands that a transition "must begin now" or "yesterday", Smart Diplomacy™ has left Hosni Mubarek without the wiggle-room needed to save face and to arrange for a soft landing in say, Fwance or the Magic Kingdom. Thus his insistence upon not leaving office until after the September elections. This will cause the protests to continue, allowing groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood to further ingratiate themselves into Egyptian society during the interim.
Because public meddling into Egyptian affairs has forced Mubarek into a corner, those Egyptians truly desirous of a democratic government have also been forced into a corner: They will have no choice but to continue their efforts, regardless of concessions made by veep Suleiman. Should they stop now, Mubarek wins and the September election results will show that whomever he supports will be the next president of Egypt.
So much for Smart Diplomacy™.

can't stand either one of them. why even have an interview?
two egomaniacs sitting in the same room. ugh!
Nobody could possibly have expected anything BUT a BJ from O'Reilly.
Some other things it was of BJ - Simpering, pandering, fawning, brown nosing, bootlicking, groveling, ingratiating,
sycophant.
One I forgot - toadying...
There is a word that means "one who preens another's ego" - draws the picture of slightly abnormally long, gnarled witchy fingers, just reaching and sort of clawing in the air, to get their fingers, at the person, such as to play with their hair or the delicate lay of the clothing, pins, tie, scarf, or whatever, about the neck...
