Did you know Bruce Andrews was once on the O'Reilly show?!?!?! This hilarity pretty much speaks for itself:
Bruce handles Bill's bullshit with much aplomb, methinks. Unfortch, the topic isn't Bruce's radical, far-far-left poetics, but rather his choice of text in a poli sci class at Fordham. I wish they'd gone head to head on L=A=N=G=etc. but I guess the liberal poetry media already has an O'Reilly-esque naysayer in Joan Houlihan.

You're either far left, or you're fair and balanced

This was definitely a classic moment. I hadn't seen it in a while, but feel like he held his own!
It was tremendously encouraging to see someone hold his own in the presence of that arrogant, oppressive ass.

And one thing to remember, of course, is that Bill O and his crew are in control of all final edits of what is broadcast on his show. I think this point has escaped some commentators on this interview, who felt that Bruce seemed a bit too passive and quiet. But remember that if you really do succeed in saying something substantive and cutting that makes O'Reilly look bad, it'll never actually appear. When the game is rigged so that it's impossible to win, Bruce's strategy makes even more sense.
