**** GO GET THEM GOVERNOR **** Jesse Ventura Anderson Cooper, Sarah Palin, and Bill O'Reilly have been critical of the jury's verdict in Jesse Ventura's recent lawsuit against the estate of Chris Kyle. Jesse Ventura explains that none of these pundits reviewed the actual evidence. He responds to these pundits on his podcast, "We the People with Jesse Ventura" available on iTunes and AdamCarolla.com . One of the biggest misleading points fueled by Cooper, Palin, and O'Reilly is that Jesse Ventura's award money is coming from Chris Kyle's widow, Taya. However, this is completely false. The insurance company for Chris Kyle's book publisher (HarperCollins) not only paid all fees associated with the trial, but will also be paying the full $1.8 million that the jury awarded Ventura.  Here's quotes from Jesse Ventura's response to Anderson Cooper: Anderson Cooper doesn’t know a thing about this case ...

Bill O'Reilly Hollywood star Jessica Alba is blasting right-wing Fox TV news host Bill O'Reilly after he suggested Jessica didn't know her history on his high rated News program. The actress took to her MySpace.com blog to defend herself after O'Reilly called her "misguided" for poking fun at a journalist during an inauguration event last week. Jessica asked the reporter what he liked most about President Obama, and when he refused to answer, she joked, "That's it, be neutral. Be Sweden about it." O'Reilly and TMZ both subsequently ridiculed Alba, insisting she meant Switzerland, not Sweden, but the actress has had the last laugh in cyberspace. On her blog, she writes, "I find it depressing that, in the midst of perhaps the most salient time in our country's history, individuals are taking it upon themselves to encourage negativity and stupidity. "Last week, Mr. Bill O'Reilly and some really classy sites insinuated I was dum...

Fox News Icon Bill O'Reilly Our casual friend from our favorite watering hole Langans on Broadway, Bill O'Reilly, is taking aim at NAS over the rapper’s protest outside the Fox television network’s headquarters in New York City last week. Nas joined human rights activists to deliver a 600,000-name petition calling for network executives to end their "pattern of racist attacks against Black Americans". But O’Reilly insists the protest was nothing more than a publicity stunt to boost sales of the rap star’s number one album, Untitled. Calling Nas a "vile rapper", the conservative host claims Nas’ new album is "a bomb, a disaster, a catastrophe," and the I Can hitmaker needed to do something to bring attention to his release. Nice to see Bill beating around the bush ! NAS Photo By: BuzzFoto

Bill O'Reilly and Geraldo Rivera said Friday there were no hard feelings after they engaged in a shouting match unusual even for a cable opinion program where the volume is frequently set to loud. No chairs flew and no noses were broken. But the finger-pointing verbal duel over illegal immigration on Fox News Channel's "The O'Reilly Factor" Thursday night became a water-cooler topic the next day. "Geraldo is a friend of mine and I think I respect him even more now, if that's possible, than I did before," O'Reilly told The Associated Press on Friday. But they disagree passionately on the issue, he said. "I've known him for 25 years," O'Reilly said. "Geraldo doesn't come on to pick a fight." Rivera said his sensitivity to a "massive witch-hunt" against illegal immigrants set him off Thursday. The two men were discussing the case of Alfredo Ramos, a man charged with manslaughter and suspected of being drun...

Bill O'Reilly got it right on this fraud Fraud and Fake ! Frederic Prince von Anhalt (bottom), husband of aging Hollywood sex symbol Zsa Zsa Gabor, Thursday said he has filed suit against a US broadcaster for libel in case involving another US sex symbol. Von Anhalt is seeking 10 million dollars damages from the Rupert Murdoch-owned Fox broadcaster over its coverage of his claims that he fathered a child with the late Anna Nicole Smith, von Anhalt told Deutsche Presse-Agentur dpa. He has filed the libel suit claiming defamation of character in Superior Court in Santa Monica, he said. The sharp-tongued Fox commentator Bill O'Reilly called von Anhalt a 'fraud' for claiming paternity of the six-month-old baby Dannielynn, who has become the prize in a scramble for claim to fame and fortune among at least four bidders who are claiming custody. Smith, the curvaceous, tragedy-plagued gossip icon, was 39 when she collapsed and died on February 8 in a Florida hotel. After 22 ...

Bill O'Reilly Bill O'Reilly walked out for his appearance on David Letterman's "Late Show With David Letterman" "That's cute, that's nice," Letterman said on Friday night's show. Letterman and the Fox News Channel talk show host are still fighting from a confrontation in January, when Letterman told him "I have the feeling about 60 percent of what you say is crap."Before O'Reilly even came out, Letterman made his feelings clear. "I'm secretly hoping when Bill O'Reilly comes out here, I'll have the opportunity to call him a bonehead," Letterman said.They discussed the Iraq war and the upcoming midterm election, with O'Reilly saying that Americans are depressed by the progress of the Iraq War, and that they'd rather watch escapist entertainment like "Dancing with the Stars" than the news. He asked Letterman: "Are you going to be on `Dancing with the Stars'?""Ha ha," L...
