I think I can guess what O'Reilly's most ridiculous item of the day will be.

Behar: "Are you interested to go on O'Reilly's show and take him on? Because he's been after your ass, baby! He wants you on a silver platter!"

[Audience applauds, laughs]

Garofalo, joking: "I know. He likes me! He likes me! He has a crush on me! He's very attracted to me."

Still no crawling on knees through cut glass, apparently.

As irksome as it may be to hear it, Miss Garofalo has a point: it's premature to judge the overall success of our campaign in Iraq until we've seen what sort of reconstructed Iraq we wind up with; what the long-term effect of the war on the Arab world outside Iraq is; what more specifically is the effect on Israeli-Palestinian relations; and so on and so forth. She could put off her apology indefinitely.

Nope. Things could go sour in the future, but read this again:

Garofalo did, however, promise that if she is proven wrong and Iraqis welcome U.S. troops who find stores of weapons of mass destruction, ?I will go to the White House on my knees on cut glass and say, 'hey, you were right, I shouldn?t have doubted you.'? But, she quickly added, ?I think to think that is preposterous.?

The Iraqis have already largely welcomed the troops. As soon as they find WMD, I'd say she should put up, or shut up.

Okay, she was foolishly specific--always a bad idea when foretelling the future. Still, those WMDs are stubbornly resisting discovery. She may yet come out on top of this.

I have little doubt they'll turn up. They can't have destroyed them all.

A week or so ago, O'Reilly showed a PSA that Garofalo filmed in which she claimed that half a million innocent civilians would die because of the war.

It is not too soon to tell that she was completely wrong about that.

The Iraqis now have whiskey, sexy, and uncensored satellite TV. I consider that a success regardless of if the WMDs (buried in Syria, according to Debka) are located. (Of course, a functional republic would be nice too).

Just for clarifications sake, Janeane Garofalo did not menton WMD's in her promise. O'Reilly asked her if she would apologize if the Iraqi people welcomed us and we found "bad stuff."
I think mass graves, torture chambers, and childrens prisons qualify as "bad stuff."
So she doesn't have any chance of "coming out on top," she was wrong, and refuses to admit it.
She's a hypocrite. To paraphrase Dennis Miller, calling her a scumbag would be an insult to bags filled with scum.

Janeane Garofalo has no credibility. She said what she said and did, or didn't, do what she did. Moving the goalposts will not change that.
