Roger Ebert v. O'Reilly

(via Andrew Sullivan) Read this Ebert Sun-Times op-ed. O'Reilly's column got dropped and he ranted about it on his show and asked for a boycott. And Roger shoots back. This is a great ending:

Bill, I am concerned that you have been losing touch with reality recently. Did you really say you are more powerful than any politician?

That reminds me of the famous story about Squeaky the Chicago Mouse. It seems that Squeaky was floating on his back along the Chicago River one day. Approaching the Michigan Avenue lift bridge, he called out: Raise the bridge! I have an erection!
