It is quickly becoming clear that O’Reilly is hoping to use this event as a chance for him to rehabilitate Pence’s childish spokesman for the public eye. He intends to set up questions that will present the Pence White House as somehow being the heroes of the pandemic, the border and the economy. Expect a series of cupcake questions about how tough it was to lead the nation through such a difficult time, and about how terrible the border situation supposedly is today.

O’Reilly clearly thinks he can present himself along the lines of David Frost with Richard Nixon. Except that O’Reilly has nothing near the pedigree of Frost, and Pence’s childish spokesman hasn’t even a tenth of the animal instincts we always saw from Nixon.

Wonder if they will have Diamond & Silk open up for them.

The fact that Trump could actually expect any sort of value-added from this match-up with O’Reilly tells me that he, himself, is sensing a decline of his own relevance. I mean. REALLY. With O’Reilly?

Watching two old sex predators strut and preen is not my idea of an entertaining evening.
For an opening act, they can hire Eric “Dick Pic” Bolling and Dick “Toe Sucker” Morris.

This is all just another con, another grift. It never stops. The $$$ must flow at all costs.

O’Reilly has been frantically trying to portray himself as an “elder statesman” for the past couple of years, but it hasn’t worked. He spends his days promoting his website and what small traffic he gets there. His webcasts usually include him begging people to join his site. He also seems to regularly predict the end for cable news, which sounds about right given that he was driven from that field in disgrace. O’Reilly does have his continuing “Killing” book line, where there are regularly large numbers of copies bought up by angry Right Wing organizations to help gin up his stats there. The actual books, mostly written by Martin Dugard, are infamous for their inaccuracies and mistakes. Serious historians have regularly taken them apart with little effort.

The idea that O’Reilly considers himself a journalist or a historian by any means just provides an illustration of the power of self-deception.

This set of get-togethers with Pence’s childish spokesman sounds like a desperate move by both men. Both are hoping they can somehow get a lot of publicity and attention from this. I have a feeling the get-togethers may not turn out the way they’re thinking. I honestly wonder if they’ll be able to do more than one – particularly if the Trump organization is up to its eyeballs in criminal indictments at that point.

Who hired O’Bully as a ‘historian/journalist’? Why, he hired himself, of course.

Oh, snap!

“…These conversations with the 45th President will not be boring.”

But these conversations don’t begin until December, at which time Trump will have been ‘anointed’ as the 47th president, eh??
