Cracks in the Populist Façade

The inane anti-Internet O'Reilly screed Matt mentioned below has by now produced a veritable avalanche of responses from bloggers. Personally, I doubt it's worth it. O'Reilly jumped the shark about a week into his career, and while I occasionally find him pitiful or entertaining in a surreal sort of way, he no longer manages to be infuriating. If Bill thinks it's a pain to get all this attention from the Net, he can take consolation in the thought that he's about 14 minutes and 53 seconds into his lifetime allocation.
