''O'Reilly praising Al Sharpton — where do we go from here? Bouquets for Acorn? Support for getting U.S. troops out of Iraq?
This kinder ,gentler Bill is a real surprise. But hey, it is the holiday season. Good will to men and all that.''
It certainly seems that O'Reilly has been impressed. His gushing column on his night at the White House media party last week reads like a missive from the liberal website Moveon.org — not from the O'Reilly we all know.
Consider this: "Michelle Obama, whom I had never met, was stunning. She was warm and kind to my 10-year-old daughter and gracious to me. My quick assessment of her: Strong, charismatic, and beautiful."
Wow! Hard to imagine Sean Hannity saying that.
Or consider this: "At Christmastime, we should all put politics aside. And that's what the Obamas did. There were a number of Republicans at the party and everybody I talked with had a great time. I was pleased with the event and, again, feel privileged to have had the vantage point.
"So, I received my Christmas present early. Thanks for the party, Mr. President."
Cue Glenn Beck — almost choking on those words. http://www.irishcentral.com/opinion/Has-Bill-OReilly-gone-soft-on-Obama-79888222.html
