TV host should be fired for comments about city, Daly says

Again, not a real estate-related post, but any chance to poke fun at Chris Daly, right?

And not that I disagree with the fact that Bill O'Reilly is a jackass, but Daly really put his foot in his mouth yesterday.

From SFGate, "Not everybody took Fox News host Bill O'Reilly's on-air comments this week about terrorists bombing Coit Tower as the hyperbole that fills the talk-radio ether. One of the ticked off was San Francisco Supervisor Chris Daly, who Friday called for O'Reilly to be fired."

One blithering idiot calling out another one? "When you have the privilege of being on the airwaves, there comes with that a certain amount of responsibility," Daly said.

Oh really? Perhaps we could reword that foot-in-mouth statement to read, "When you have the priviledge of public office, there comes with that a certain amount of responsibility."

Yeah, Chris, you go on with your hypocritical self!

I'm still just loving the fact that he stood side-by-side on Thursday with Mayor Newsom, silver shovel in hand, breaking ground on the new Rincon Hill project. The very same project that he both lambasted and extorted money from. I think he was just trying to gain a little public support following one failed attempt after another to satisfy his activist constituents. Maybe he was looking to salvage some of his meager 29% approval rating?

And I'm looking forward to seeing him skewered on national television if he gets the chance to go head-to-head with O'Reilly. I can't stand O'Reilly, but Daly can't win against someone who spends 365 days a year in front of a national audience.

"I've never been on a network show like that before," Daly said Friday.

Quit while you're ahead, Chris, before you embarrass us all...
