SS O'Reilly sinking in a most unflattering manne

What's that smell? Is that a bit of desperation coming from Bill O'Reilly? His show's lost a third of its viewers over the past few months and now he won't shut up about celebrities who refuse to put their heads on his chopping block of a show -- like Angelina Jolie and Don Cheadle (whom O'Reilly accused of using the Darfur genocide to get publicity). Nico writes: "Finally! Someone cracks down on that vast racket of publicity-seekers trying to 'use' the people in Darfur by calling attention to the fact that they’re being mass-murdered. Because there really are too many people talking about Darfur, really." (ThinkProgress)
