The NY Times: "At the Time 100 party a few days before this interview, the Dixie Chicks performed "Not Ready to Make Nice." Afterward Ms. Maines recounted, the Fox News commentator Bill O'Reilly-- who has regularly denounced her, and whom she pointedly calls "despicable" --rushed over to greet them....read on

Brad Kava: Like a weather vane in a Kansas tornado, this guy does nothing but spin. He comes off all tough and sanctimonious on his show, but obviously, in person, he's as greasy as yesterday's bacon...read on
