When <strong>the</strong> last lie had been apologized for, <strong>the</strong> world would see a new Bill O'Reilly:<br />

fair, open-minded, genuinely impartial. Perhaps this new Bill O'Reilly's TV program would<br />

not be as successful as his old one. But <strong>the</strong> important thing is that if he doesn't calm <strong>the</strong> raging<br />

storm inside, <strong>the</strong> man may well be headed for a crack-up.<br />

Oh, one last thing. About <strong>the</strong> splotchy photo. I'd been planning to have it desplotched<br />

by <strong>the</strong> top guy in <strong>the</strong> field. But three days after our BEA encounter, Bill's publisher and agent<br />

called my publisher and said that he was threatening to sue if I didn't take his picture off <strong>the</strong><br />

cover.<br />

Good move.<br />

So <strong>the</strong>re you are, Bill, in all your splotchy glory.<br />

What was it, anyway? Sun poisoning? A touch of <strong>the</strong> Irish flu? An allergic reaction to<br />

some shellfish you'd eaten at a Heritage Foundation event? Not that I'd believe you if you<br />

told me.
