The vein-popper is going to have his Monday morning session with the Edward R. Murrow blow-up doll interrupted by a few things. Try as he might to work out his obsessive angst over being fired by Rupert Murdoch, he not only can’t gain on O’Reilly in the ratings but now loses ground to Campbell Brown at CNN.

Add to that the fact that his BIG story about Tom Ridge has, predictably, turned out to be a steaming pile of dung.

Let us finish this all off with the cast of “Morning Joe” angling to be “Worst Persons Of The Day” on Keith’s nightly rant to the brain-dead faithful. People on the right are always being asked why GOP leadership doesn’t do anything to distance itself from Rush Limbaugh. Watch the quick, articulate responses of left-tilters Mika Brzezinski and Mike Barnicle when asked the same about Dems and Olby.

Happy Monday, kids.
