Miller and O’Reilly Discuss Media Coverage of Barack, Hillary ...
The host and his comedian guest Dennis Miller discussed a wide range of media topics including Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Rudy Giuliani, and, believe it or not, Britney Spears. This was one of their more entertaining segments, as Dennis was in rare form, as was Bill (video available here courtesy of our friend Ms Underestimated).

We're starting 17 months out. If I was him I would rope a dope like that the next five months.

With Democrats in charge, the proposals may stand a better chance of passing. "With the new leadership in Congress, we are going to get a lot of bills that are going to get a second look," said Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La. This week, Landrieu reintroduced her SEARCH Act, which would create a national database that African Americans could use to research their genealogy. Landrieu has introduced the bill in previous Congresses, but it never became law. Neither did the Emmett Till Unsolved Civil Rights Crime Act, sponsored this year by Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., in the Senate and Rep.
