FLASHBACK: O’Reilly Said That Not Disclosing Pundits’ Political Ties Was A ‘Collapse Of Ethical Standards’....

Yesterday, Karl Rove appeared on Fox News’s O’Reilly Factor where he was greeted by host Bill O’Reilly as the network’s “political guy.” O’Reilly asked Rove to help him come up with questions for his interview with Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), which airs tonight. The weak brainstorming session eventually devolved into an unabashed love fest of McCain:

ROVE: I think you ought to ask McCain why he is so reticent to talk about himself personally. … He’s the most private person I’ve ever seen in my life.

O’REILLY: And he — but he’s wrote books on it. See, that’s the inconsistency. … He writes it in a book, but he won’t go out and talk. I think he may be shy about it.

ROVE: Well, and it’s something - there’s an admirable reticence in him. But yes, he may be comfortable having Mark Salter pry it out of him and put it in a book.

O’Reilly ended the segment by saying McCain should take his lead and “bloviate all over the place about how great you are.”
