Olbermann Has Jane Hamster On; Bill O'Reilly Now Wants To Be Known By Rap Name "T-Warrior"

Pretty sad when your idea of a big ratings booster is inviting on a nitwit who can likely deliver an additional 40,000 viewers.

An additional 40,000 viewers? Wow. Breakin' out the big guns now.

Must be sweeps week.

Meanwhile, Bill O'Reilly, who a while ago claimed he lowered the price of gas by talking tough about the oil companies, figures that if he's got that kind of Pimp Hand, he ought to have a Pimp Handle. And he's chosen to be known as "T-Warrior," for "Traditional Warrior."

He might even respond to "LL Cool T."

He says he's on Al Qaeda's "Death list." He probably is.

Join the club.

O'Reilly says his fame and success — and sometimes controversial views — have come with a price.

"With the controversy comes death threats on a daily basis," O'Reilly said. "Not only from kooks. But the FBI came in and warned me and a few other people at Fox News that al Qaeda had us on a death list. … That's a little disconcerting."

So does O'Reilly ever question what he's doing? Is all the controversy he creates worth it when he has a wife and kids?

O'Reilly says he knows his big mouth gets him into a certain amount of trouble.

When it goes over the line and he requires round-the-clock protection, he says he asks himself, "Is it worth it?"

Still, O'Reilly sticks to his guns, even if he is a bit self-deprecating about his legacy.

"When I am dead, my tombstone will read, 'He finally stopped talking,'" he said.

No, his tombstone will read, "It's still not too late to buy Factor Mugs for Father's Day."

Or, "I'm lookin' out for the folks... From Heaven."

Thanks to Allah for the Hamster tip.

Bonus! St. Andrew of the Sacred Heart-Ache will be on Anderson Cooper.

Well, I don't know if he'll be on him. But he's scheduled to appear on the show. Anything can happen.

Gee, what to watch tonight at 8 PM? Do I watch a Simpsons repeate recorded on my DVR, a Family Guy repeat, or a Just Shoot Me repeat?

Hard decisions.

Can't wait for the clips on Hot Air tomorrow, though.

Hmmm... Jane Hamsher on Olbermann, Andrew Sullivan on Anderson Cooper, and every big conservative blogger sitting at home eating Hungry Man chicken pot pies.

Guess it just worked out that way.

I feel as unwanted by the media as, say, a black blogger at a Bill Clinton meet-and-greet.
