Leave it to Eric Bolling and Sean Hannity to use the misfortunes of others for political grandstanding and posturing. The two bigots don't seem to care much how the budget cuts may affect hungry families or Headstart but they developed a sudden, rousing feeling of patriotic fervor at the announcement the White House would stop allowing tours as the result of the sequester. Bolling announced on The Five this week that he'll donate $74,000 to keep the tours going. Hannity, not to be upstaged by political theatrics that might harm the president, tweeted that he'll pick up the tab for a week, too.

As you probably know, President Obama hosted a dinner meeting with several Republican Senators in an effort to get beyond the sequester stalemate. One of those Senators, Pat Toomey, visited The O’Reilly Factor last night. During the discussion, O’Reilly added this get-together to his growing list of feats that he takes credit for. But the funny thing is, with all that power he gives himself, he refuses to take any responsibility for the death of Dr. George Tiller, whom O’Reilly savagely vilified night after night.

In case you've missed it, I've been following on Crooks and Liars how Fox & Friends has been concern trolling about the supervised release of some low-level immigrant detainees as part of the sequester cuts. Ignoring how this has been a part of Department of Homeland Security policy since at least 2002. Yesterday, Fox's former-judge Andrew Napolitano actually called for impeachment over it. All this while Fox attacks President Obama for scare mongering about the sequester effects.

James O'Keefe - possibly the world's worst sleazebag and former Fox News Power Player of the Week - has agreed to fork over $100,000 to a former ACORN employee wrongly recorded and then falsely portrayed by O'Keefe and his partner-in-video-crime, Hannah Giles, as an enabler of underage prostitution and human smuggling.

As he so often reminds us, Bill O'Reilly is a devout Catholic who is on a one man crusade (or is it jihad) against those evil secularists, dirty women, and truly satanic LGBT types who are all trying to tear down Bill's traditionalist America and his beloved church. As he so often reminds us, he is "looking out for us." But while he does command quite an audience, not everybody has access to his pontifications. He really needs to go from Fox News urbi to global orbi. So who better to don those papal Pradas and exchange his Fox crown for a papal mitre than TV's own Bill O'Reilly?! Jon Stewart certainly recognizes the papal possibilities for the very "papabili" PapaBilly O'Reilly who, as Stewart astutely notes, already thinks he's infallible! And if he's not papabili, I think it's safe to say he's papabully. 

Fox is still promoting their new hero, Dr. Ben Carson. And what better way to do so than by turning him into a victim of President Obama? On Monday (3/4/13), Your World, whose host, Neil Cavuto, is the father of the “Cavuto Mark,” featured a discussion FoxNews.com called, “Did WH issue warning to Prayer Breakfast speaker?” Carson, you may recall, earned his heroic status by criticizing President Obama at the National Prayer Breakfast –and now Fox is promoting a presidential run for him in 2016.

Oh, look! Megyn Kelly found a new person of color to attack! This time, it’s Trayvon Martin’s girlfriend. Apparently, the girlfriend lied – not, as far as anyone knows, about what is expected to be key testimony: that shooter George Zimmerman was following Martin before shooting him but about being in the hospital on the day of his funeral.

Bill O'Reilly has taken his crusade (or is it jihad) on behalf of Jessica's Law to the Colorado legislature which, in agreement with other legal entities, deems it unnecessary. But that's not good enough for Bill who, not only attacked the CO House speaker, Mark Ferrandino, but sicced Jesse Watters on him. On the first Factor hit piece, O'Reilly brought up the irrelevant fact that Ferrandino, who tabled the bill, is openly gay. In another Factor segment, after showing Watters' sting video, Bill again mentioned that Ferrandino is gay (and *lied about his support for marijuana legalization). If this gay baiting sounds familiar, it is! In 2007, Bill O'Reilly and Jesse Watters attacked the openly gay chairman of the Vermont House Judiciary Committee over the same issue. If, by Bill's own standards, hate speech is "designed to marginalize and harm an adversary, business rival or someone else the hater doesn't like," it appears that Bill O'Reilly, once again, could be engaging in homophobic hate speech. 

Not even an authorized biography can turn Roger Ailes into a nice guy. At least that’s the impression left from the preview, published in Vanity Fair, of a new book, Roger Ailes: Off Camera, written by Zev Chafets with extensive cooperation from Fox News' chief, which will be published later this month. The book portrays Ailes as a control freak and a combative, competitive tough guy, who called President Obama “lazy”, Newt Gingrich a “prick” and Joe Biden “dumb as an ashtray.”

Is there anyone who cares what two-time voter-fraud suspect Ann Coulter thinks about immigration? Although her bio says she formerly worked on immigration issues, she's really known for her flame-throwing at liberals - while tossing around her bleached-blonde tresses and clad in something low cut. In other words, she gave up any claim to serious punditry many, many slurs ago. In fact, in less than a minute, she showed her utter ignorance of the border situation by blaming the media for the lack of a fence along the U.S. southern border.
