If you’re wondering how I earned the “honor” of going up against Bill O’Reilly last night, well, it turns out I have Dan Savage to thank.
Ken Schram from KOMO gave my name to a producer from Bill O’Reilly’s show who was looking for someone to come on tonight and defend the sign put up by atheists near the nativity scene in the state capitol. The producer added that O’Reilly wanted to “broaden the discussion out to include observations about Washington being a very liberal state.” Uh-huh. I declined and when the producer asked if I could suggest someone who might want to come on, I gave him your name Goldy.
So I guess I should just think of Billo as Dan’s sloppy seconds. (Bet that’s an image that sticks in your head.) But, hey Dan… when do I get my shot at doing Bill Maher?
In the end, O’Reilly really wasn’t all that. Sure, he did that cutting me off and talking over me thing he does, but that’s not really all that different from a typical dinner table conversation in my family, and, well, I’ve spent enough time on both sides of the mic to have been there and done that. Watching the video, I thought I did okay given the context… got in a couple good lines… didn’t embarrass myself or anybody else. And now that I know what to expect, I’m confident I’d be more relaxed and forceful given another shot at going up against Billo.
Speaking of which, the process of taping the segment is probably not what most people imagine. Both Anne and I appeared from studios at Fisher Plaza, but were taped in separate rooms. Throughout the interview I sat alone in a small studio with a fake skyline behind me and a robotic camera in front; there was no TV monitor on which to view the proceedings. Except for having to stare at the camera, it was pretty much like doing radio, except with a tinny piece in my ear instead of a set of good headphones. In the end, having Bill O’Reilly’s voice in my head wasn’t all that scary—there are way more frightening demons in there—but it would have been easier if I could have heard him more clearly.
As to the story itself, well, it’s total bullshit, and it’s hard to believe that was Billo’s top story of the day. In fact, after taping what I thought was a pretty uncontroversial segment, I almost feared they might edit it, bury it or cut it entirely. But then, I’m not a real journalist like Billo, so what do I know?
Mr. Cynical spews:
Goldy spews:
If that’s the case, why did you elect to go on numbnutz?! Your inflated ego lead you to make an idiot out of yourself?!
My Left Foot spews:
1.
Cyniclown, you have the market cornered on the inflated ego leading you to make an idiot out of yourself.
Quit projecting.
And Goldy did fine. Bill-O is classless blowhard with a marginal audience of mouth breathing, southern residing fools.
Mr. Cynical spews:
2. My Left Foot spews:
What in the world were you watching?!!!!!!!!!!
He looked like, acted like and sounded like a freak…which is precisely why O-Reilly duped him into becoming his foil.
Fine?? Yeah, right.
Goldy was a complete idiot.
Steve spews:
@2 “Quit projecting.”
Impossible.
My Left Foot spews:
3.
Let me see, how many appearances have you made on TV? How many shows have called you to appear? What website do you run? What stand have you taken, in a very public manner, on any issue that you believe in?
You come here and you denigrate everything that Goldy has done. Where is your radio show? Where is your published article in any publication, where is your Broadway play, where is your rhyming software, where are your balls to actually stand up and put your (fucking worthless) name behind the shit you spew even on here? (Yes, Goldy has a varied resume, creative people do that. Where is yours?)
Cyniclown, you are the epitome of the words spineless, pussy, wimp, coward, hooligan, fool and idiot. You have not ever added anything to this conversation. You are here to feed your own ego and nothing else.
You can’t even keep your own word. You swore a couple of years ago not to post here anymore, but your ego needs to feel superior (you have less actual reason for such a display of ego than anyone else who posts here) and compelled you to return and resume making a complete ass of yourself.
Funny how that works.
Steve spews:
@5 “Cyniclown, you are the epitome of the words spineless, pussy, wimp, coward, hooligan, fool and idiot.”
I would have included ‘goatfucker’. Otherwise, you’re pretty much right on.
Mark The Redneck-Patriot spews:
Hey Goldy – Kirby Wilbur said he may be in the no spin zone tonight to talk about this.
Tune in to see how a pro at work.
Dumshit…
Mark The Redneck-Patriot spews:
Tell us about the “Lemon Test” again. That was fucking priceless.
What exactly was your argument? Establishment or free speech? Or do you even know?
Mark The Redneck-Lemon spews:
Goldy – I’m sure your wife never let you listen to Leykis when he was on, but his best stuff is on the interweb.
There was a great segment that he used to replay all the time with some stoopid woman explaining how “smart” she was. It’s fondly known as the “Al Green” segment. No doubt many here remember it. Your segment with O’Reilly was the same thing. You looked like a complete doofus.
“Lemon Test”…. LMAO….
My Left Foot spews:
7:
Mark I was going to rip you a new one too. Then I realized your post did it for me. To wit:
Nuff said!!
Steve spews:
@8 “Tell us about the “Lemon Test” again.”
Tell us about those “suclarists” again. I’m somehow not surprised that you, of all the dumbfucks littering this earth, would call somebody else a ‘doofus’.
““Lemon Test”…. LMAO….”
Oh, did you finally figure out that the “Lemon Test” has absolutely nothing to do with the clunker car you bought? Yesterday you were not quite so bright, were you? So today you think you can taunt Goldy with your newfound knowledge? LMFAO(at your stupid fucking expense)!!!
Steve spews:
@7 “Dumshit…”
Oh, good fucking Lord! Please excuse me as I laugh my ass off at your expense some more. Howl!!!
Steve spews:
@10 “Nuff said!!”
Where do they come up these dumbass fucking trolls? Can they really be this fucking stupid? It boggles the mind. It really does.
Troll spews:
Even though I think the angry and intolerant woman who created this piece of hate-art should be imprisoned for 25 years, I thought Goldy did a good job.
He comes across well on radio and TV. A natural. I wish he would fill-in more on KIRO.
Bjing spews:

rhp6033 spews:
# 15: They haven’t realized yet that they won’t be paid anymore for their posts parroting the Rove talking points. Now that the election’s over, they will be trying to call to ask how come they haven’t gotten a check yet, and find out the number has been disconnected.
Mr. Cynical spews:

There you go again…in LaLa Land.
Do you really believe ANYONE gets paid to post on HorsesAss.org?
What an idiot!
Personally, don’t need a check…I am sittin’ just fine. I post here only because I get enjoyment out of the Lunacy on the Left.
ROTCODDAM spews:
We need better trolls.
This is getting pathetic.
I know that movement (bowel) conservatism is in decline, but this is absurd. If I didn’t know better I’d have to conclude that MTR, Mr. C, and the rest of these ass clowns were hand puppet foils created simply to embarrass conservatives.
All of HA’s loyal readers need to make some effort this holiday season. There’s a better than average chance that between office parties and family gatherin’s we’ll all be in social contact (yech) with some of the real thing over the next few weeks. Get ’em drunk and lure them in by talking up HA. Mention Coulter or Malkin and maybe they’ll check in hoping for a glimpse of man cleavage.
With a little effort we can repopulate the ranks of trolls with some creatively unhinged types like the good ol’ days. Like that one guy who thought he was Magnum PI. He was awesome!
Steve spews:
@18 “Like that one guy who thought he was Magnum PI. He was awesome!”
I haven’t been around that long so I missed out on Magnum. Anything would be an improvement over Cynical and Troll. At least Marvin doesn’t bother us anymore. Although I’ll admit that was a damn fine head explosion Marvin had last month. Speaking of which, Puddy’s head blew up pretty good as well. Alas, Cynical and Troll are both clueless as to the state of their exploded heads. True dumbfucks. Both of them.
headless lucy spews:
Ann Coulter has claimed to be more of a man than any liberal.
There may be more than a grain of truth to this claim. I’ve watched its Adam’s apple bob when it is speaking. ‘It’ is not a pleasant sight.
I think there is something unwholesome in the relationship between Ann Coulter and its Republican male fan base.
ROTCODDAM spews:
Steve,
FSM’s honest truth. HA had one loyal troll who regularly regaled us with his past exploits in Naval espionage, and droll recitals about his life of leisure and adventure living on some kind of plantation in Hawaii, flying around in a helo, driving a Ferarri 308, and playing the markets.
One day somebody with career navy experience decided to unmask him and, to the extent that you could actually witness such a thing on a blog, the poor guy’s head literally exploded. I was sorry to see him go.
Steve spews:
@21 Well, seeing as how you swear on the FSM, I’m going to very willing take your word on it!! It’s hard to imagine a troll dumber than Cynical, though. It really does boggle the mind. It must take one hell of a lack of self-esteem to blare ones stupidity across the planet in the manner of our trolls.
Savage Nation santorum spews:
“So I guess I should just think of Billo as Dan’s sloppy seconds. (Bet that’s an image that sticks in your head.)”
Better that it sticks in your head than in Dan’s sloppy undershorts.
Troll spews:
That artist makes me sick. She is the worst element in our society. She comes from a place of anger and hate. She belongs in prison.
Manboobs in the News spews:
“Mention Coulter or Malkin and maybe they’ll check in hoping for a glimpse of man cleavage.”
Re Coulter’s Adam’s apple bob, that trite tired overworked underwhelming sexist bigoted slacker libtard cliche is a cliche. Give credit to Stephanie Miller, who stole the trite trans-sexual trope first.
Coulter, remember, climbed on the Hillary bandwagon with your very own Roger Maggot. And it wasn’t a pretty sight, Roger’s manboobs heaving in terror and Coulters Adam’s apple bobbing in torment as Hillary’s sniper fire rained down. Damn good thing Coulter secured the perimeter before Roger went into a girlish swoon.
Steve spews:
@24 “makes me sick” “worst element in our society” ” anger and hate” “belongs in prison”
You just can’t stop projecting, can you, Troll?
Manboobs in the News spews:
Why do you pinheads hate Michelle Malkin? Inquiring minds want to know.
Steve spews:
@27 If you ever hope to earn “dumbest fucking troll ever” honors, you’re going to have to try an awful lot harder. Take a good look at Cynical’s posts. Do you really think you can compete with that?
Manboobs in the News spews:
“He comes across well on radio and TV. A natural. I wish he would fill-in more on KIRO.”
I agree, alas. Actually miss the smelly little turd.
Saturday eves with Goldy used to be occasionally interesting. Saturday eves with the sloppy seconds of Jen (heh heh heh) Andrews and Luke Burbank (who sounds like Hayes Barnard who sounds like one of Steve’s pervs) isn’t interesting at all.
(Andrews and Burbank were spawned by KVI. WTF with that?!)
Manboobs in the News spews:
Hell no. Just competing for the dumbest dumb fuck of all time award, against you, and you win by acclamation. Nolo contendere, bro.

@29 “sounds like one of Steve’s pervs”
Which one? All Republicans sound alike to me.

rhp6033 spews:
Hey Cynical, it was the Republican presidential candidate’s own website which trumpeted his plan to compensate those who posted the daily talking points on the comment boards of blogs. They had to be able to point out their posts in order to get credit points toward merchandise redemption. Just in case they were too dumb to find a blog themselves, they had a helpfull listing, which presumably rotated from time-to-time.
For putting a stupid idea like that on a public website for all the world to see that the Republicans were having to PAY trolls to post on blogs, and then tell them how to do it, I’m entitled to spend at least the next two years rubbing it in.
Deal with it.
Steve spews:
@30 Sorry, but I don’t care to have anybody named “Manboobs” addressing me as “bro”.
Manboobs in the News spews:
I mean, you’re a natural, Steve, just like Goldy on KIRO. Am only too happy to admit when I’ve met my master for the dumbest dumb fuck award. You win! In perpetuity (or pervetuity, in your case.)
Still waiting: Why do you hate Malkin? Why do you hate America?
Coulter hatred? I get it. Even National Review bailed on the bitch. (But unless any of you secular progressive retards have read Coulter’s book Slander, and unless any of you can write anything half as good, back the fuck off & shut the fuck up.)
(Although there’s also this: Coulter’s Slander vivesects The New York Times. Did anyone else notice that when Coulter wants to close an argument with an absolutely slam dunk citation from an absolutely drop-dead source, she often cites … The New York Times?)
Manboobs in the News spews:

(Bet you’re like Dustin Hoffman in Straw Dogs. Bet you and Goldy Goldschmidt freak out for 9-year-olds. Bet this sick twisted obsession of yours is a way of projecting your sick twisted obsessions on Republicans who, as everyone knows, are too prim and polite to fight back.)

Um, please come up with something current, like from the 21st century, or at least the last quarter century. For instance, just this last March another Republican found himself in hot water over a matter involving little boys.

Alas, another Republican kills himself rather than face the music.

Do you ever think of killing yourself Manboob? Maybe it’s something you should consider. If you can’t face what you’ve become, then maybe you should just check out. After all, other Republicans are doing it. Maybe you should consider giving it a try.

That this guy hasn’t killed himself yet shouldn’t deter you from making the leap yourself, Manboobs. After all, I’m sure you’ve done worse things than he ever did.
Steve spews:
Bob Allen isn’t the only Republican to be busted for wanting to blow a cop in a park toilet.

Why do you guys go to park toilets to solicit cops for oral sex, Manboobs? From Hawaii to Florida. What’s up with that? Care to explain?
Steve spews:
Geez, Pudz, why do you always disappear once the conversation gets interesting? I was really hoping that you’d explain this thing with park toilets. I mean, that just sounds so weird! Why do you do that??
This Republican perv not only got busted, he then fondled the crotch of the cop who busted him!! Why do you people do this stuff?? Don’t you know that it’s unnatural?

Being a Republican pedo is bad enough, but throw witness tampering on top of that and you’ll soon be in the slammer for decades to come. Think about it, Pudz.
Merry Christmas spews:
?Why do you guys go to park toilets to solicit cops for oral sex, Manboobs? From Hawaii to Florida. What’s up with that? Care to explain?”
Explained that, weeks ago, in short simple words that even you could understand.
Prefer park toilets because using private-sector toilets would be elitist. We’d just have to nationalize them and bail them out.
Ever bailed out a toilet, public or private, Steve? Nasty job. Oh, wait, you’d probably get off on it. Like Ann Coulter, you probably drink your own urine.
Anyway: pull your head out the cesspool and do something useful. Help me find a jpg of writer Carolyn Chute. Photo I’m desperately seeking is the one shown in a recent NYT book review. Shows her packin’ a mighty fine gun. And if there’s one thing Republicans like better than little boys and killing themselves, it’s a woman with a mighty fine gun.
PS: I REALLY miss Piper, a Baptist and a gentleman. Safe to say that you, Steve, are niether. Too bad.
Steve spews:
Yeah, I know what you mean, what with me being a Lutheran gentleman and all that. Those Baptists have it all over us Lutherans.
So how many screen names have you got going for you these days, Pudz? It’s getting to be difficult tracking you down.
Hey, here’s another Republican perv who killed himself. I do hope that you’re giving this suicide thing some serious thought!
