Thank You, Bill O'Reilly

Last night, during a segment with media analyst Bernie Goldberg, Bill O'Reilly touched on my recent article likening the passage of Obamacare to the GOP's Waterloo.

From Mediate:

"Bill O’Reilly had on his regular media analyst Bernie Goldberg last night to run down the media’s reaction (on both left and right) to the passing of the Health Care bill on Sunday, and echoed some of the same thoughts voiced by David Frum, the former speechwriter for George W. Bush, who made quite a stir yesterday in calling health care reform the GOP’s “Waterloo,” but a big win for the “conservative entertainment” business. ...

[It's] instructive that a pioneer of the conservative entertainment business – or right-of-center opinion journalist – is recognizing the sentiments put forth by David Frum. Is this symptomatic of a larger trend on the right? Most likely not (or to paraphrase John Boehner“Hell no!” Frankly, as Frum rightly points out, health care reform is good for the “conservative entertainment business” which means that we will likely see more, not less.

But it does look like some talking heads are pausing for reflection and taking a long look at the man in the mirror.
