WASHINGTON (AP) - Bill
O'Reilly and Jon Stewart are tangling over the election, birth control
and the "War on Christmas" in a rambunctious mock presidential debate.
The two celebrity TV hosts
shot off witty retorts, over-the-top declarations and a few choice words
in the so-called "Rumble in the Air-Conditioned Auditorium."
Stewart came with a mechanical pedestal he used to elevate himself in the air, making him taller than O'Reilly.
Stewart says the U.S. was born an entitlement nation, just watch an Oprah's "favorite things" episode.
O'Reilly says income
redistribution is like Robin Hood on steroids. He says Obama needs to
show support for Israel by going on a double date with Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu.
In an apparent show of bipartisanship Stewart plopped himself on O'Reilly's lap.
