PSEUDO-POPULIST Blowhard Bill O'Reilly-a man who never let being WRONG interfere with his one talent: mouthing off-is ready to "look out for the FOLKS" again with his Donald-Trump-like firing-of-the-week. In the fevered mind of Blowhard Bill, the only one who knows what he's doing, is Blowhard Bill. From my post yesterday... <<Alternate History Time! WHAT IF: 1943 had COMSAT and Blowhard Bill O'Reilly? <<He's had over a YEAR now. Over 18 MONTHS since Pearl Harbor. And FDR hasn't disposed of Hitler OR Tojo! We've been saying for MONTHS he should FIRE George Marshall. For MONTHS! After the slaughter at Salerno, and the Army STILL hasn't even taken ROME? What about PARIS?! What about BERLIN?! This war was SOLD on "Beating Germany First." And WHERE IS the Second Front in France? Hey. Mr. PRESIDENT! Stalin and the Soviets are seriously considering dropping our of the war! Are you LISTENING TO THE FOLKS? COM'ON Mr. President! Do something for the FOLKS! THEY can't buy tires for their cars. They can't buy meat or nylon stockings. How long are they gonna PUT UP WITH THAT? FDR hasn't put troops in Northern France YET! And he keeps our soldiers dying in New Guinea! For WHAT?! Hey! FDR! New Guinea is nowhere NEAR JAPAN! George Marshall has FAILED as commander of this war. He's FAILED! Too many mistakes! And FDR is finished in 1944-even against Tom Dewey-because he's had a year and a half: And George Marshall is STILL in charge!!! There's NO second front in France! No SECOND FRONT, Mr. PRESIDENT!!! You think STALIN will wait forever? NO!!! He'll get the best deal he can from the Germans. After all, he can't ignore the Japanese at his back forever. And all the while we can't get tires, stockings, gas, or meat. FDR's FINISHED if he doesn't turn this around THIS YEAR. And WHY George Marshall is still JCS Chairman just shows FDR's FAILURE... That's tonight's talking points. Coming UP-Corporate America PROFITS from the war! And Eugene V. Debs and Upton Sinclair are pretty HOT about it. An exclusive No Spin Zone interview, after this...>> OK, they'd have LOCKED Blowhard Bill up in some dark hole in Kansas or Nebraska before that commercial break was even over. He'd have had to wangle an amnesty from the Eisenhower administration to get out. (SO: Maybe they WERE the smartest generation in American history.)...>> Do you suppose Blowhard Bill posts here under the nom-de-web of "Patsy"?
