O'Reilly Loses His Mind

I always thought that O'Reilly was a little insane but now I have confirmation that he has full-blown lost it. On last night's O'Reilly Factor, "the humble correspondent" provided the following recommendation to President Bush for a replacement for Colin Powell as the next Secretary of State:

And now I'm going to be controversial. Now, I know the word is Condoleezza Rice will get the job. And she is absolutely brilliant and very loyal to President Bush, but I would replace Secretary Powell with Bill Clinton.Yikes! The former president probably wouldn't take the job, but if he did, countries like France, Germany, and Spain would like the move, perhaps cooperate more with America. Add Canada and Indonesia to that group as well.

Beyond the fact that having Bill Clinton back on the national stage again would be a great source of entertainment and fodder, Clinton would be an unmitigated disaster as SOS. I mean, wasn't the fact that the State Department wasn't on the same page with the Administration on most foreign policy matters (particularly Iraq) a major problem for Bush during his first term? How would putting Clinton (and his massive ego) at State alleviate that problem? The answer: it wouldn't. But when has the obvious stopped O'Reilly from making an ass out of himself.
