FOX "News" bloviator Bill O'Reilly's determination to humiliate himself knows no limits. Via Daily Kos diarist redheadedwoman, we learn of O'Reilly's petition to get MSNBC to restore Phil Donohue Donahue to its prime-time rundown at 8PM.
Of course, bringing back Donohue Donahue would require the cancellation of Countdown with Keith Olbermann. Olbermann has, not so coincidentally, made great sport of O'Reilly over the past several months. One night, El Falafel even achieved the distinction of being the third-worst, second-worst and worst persons in the the world on Countdown. Apparently, that hurt Big Bill's feelings more than any rational person would have imagined.
The petition is available at billoreilly.com:
February 22, 2006It is beyond belief that a grown man could be so thin-skinned as to do a thing like this. One hardly knows what to say. The lawsuit against Al Franken cannot compare to this in terms of sheer, self-destructive stupidity.

Dear Chairman Wright:
We, the undersigned, are becoming increasingly concerned about the well-being of MSNBC and, in particular, note the continuing ratings failure of the program currently airing weeknights on that network at 8:00 PM EST.
It is now apparent to everyone that a grave injustice has been done to the previous host for that time slot, Phil Donahue, whose ratings, at the time of his show's cancellation three years ago, were demonstrably stronger than those of the current host.
Therefore, in an effort to rescue MSNBC from the ratings basement and to restore the honor and dignity of Mr. Donahue, who was ignobly removed as host three years ago, we ask that you immediately bring Phil Donahue's show back at 8:00 PM EST before any more damage is done.
If you would like to express your support for this issue please fill in the information below and press the "Sign the Petition" button. Your signature will be added from the information you provide below. To protect your privacy, your last name will not be displayed on the web site.
Good move, Bill. This is guaranteed to make Olbermann stop picking on you.
