O'Reilly vs. Ingram?
From Huffington Post. Wow-"Scrooge" O'Reilly may have a soft spot in his heart, afterall. Can Michelle Obama really create such magic? O'Reilly's respect and gratitude towards Michelle Obama after his attendance at the White House Christmas party got him in trouble with the extreme right and Laura Ingram felt compelled to mock him for-heaven forbid-being respectful towards our first lady and the President. It's a battle of who drinks which brand of kool-aid! Enjoy!
Bill O'Reilly was having none of Laura Ingraham's teasing of him for "gushing" over Michelle Obama, whom he met at the White House Christmas party. O'Reilly called the First Lady "impressive" and said the First Couple were "very gracious" to him.
Ingraham repeatedly made fun of O'Reilly for these statements even as he started to get upset. He finally lost it and slammed her as a "blind ideologue" and a "Kool-Aid drinker":
Wait, a minute. I'm going to call you -- I'm calling you out on this. [...] I thought she was very nice at the party. [...] You are a blind ideologue who even if somebody's nice to you, won't admit it because you're talking about a Kool-aid drinker. [...] You have an IV attached to your arm on the Kool-aid.


I agree with Tom -- I, too, am not signing up for a "premium membership" in the fan club. However, I do believe in giving credit when someone does something I happen to think is admirable, so I'll give Papa Bear a shout-out.
