Now I’m no fan of conservative Fox News talk show host Bill O’Reilly, but I do have to give him props for returning to David Letterman’s show after Dave ripped him a new one last time, famously telling O’Reilly that:

“Sixty percent of what you say is crap!”

Why? Because Candy enjoys picking on the old and senile.

Larry King interviews a reporter about how he broke the Mark Foley story (the Congressman who sent sexually explicit IMs to a 16-year-old male page):

BRIAN ROSS, ABC NEWS CHIEF INVESTIGATIVE CORRESPONDENT: Well, Larry, it began with the instant messages coming over the website to us last Friday, prior to that we had received the e-mails, which were tamer, not sexually explicit at all. We asked Foley about them last Thursday. He said it’s just a case of being overly friendly.

We posted that on the ABC …
