"I'm in a rather uncomfortable position of having to defend President Bush, who's being battered by partisan propaganda over Hurricane Katrina. The president was late reacting to the storm and his hand-picked leaders did not do the job, but I just can't sit here and let rank propaganda go unchallenged. On Sunday Bill Clinton said this to George Stephanopoulos: 'We know what works, and we had a program that was drastically reducing poverty and they got rid of it.' What is Mr. Clinton talking about? What program did Bush get rid of? Stephanopoulos sat there like a mummy, challenging nothing. Here are the facts: Black home ownership is up under President Bush; poverty spending is significantly higher; education spending for poor school districts is higher; and the poverty rate, which was 13.7% halfway through Clinton's tenure, is now 12.7%. Federal tax revenues will be higher this year than at any time during the Clinton administration. Why? Because business is booming. Capitalism is working, and the more money corporations and workers make, the more taxes roll in. As for President Bush, he owes me big. I want a pen."

The Factor was joined by Fox News analyst Dick Morris, who explained the politics behind Bill Clinton's attacks. "Hillary needs him to do this because she is in a tough situation. She needs to be a hawk on the war, because women are suspected of being weak on issues like that. But if she's going to be a hawk, she has to tack to the left on everything else. Therefore, whenever there's an opportunity to move to the left, she has to take it." Morris suggested that, ironically, President Bush restored Clinton's credibility by naming him to high-profile positions. "Clinton lost his law license, pardoned everyone in the last hours of his administration, and President Bush picked him off the sidewalk. And now the snake is turning and biting George Bush on the butt." The Factor criticized Mr. Clinton for telling falsehoods, and George Stephanopoulos for not challenging his former boss. "What I am getting increasingly angry about is this misinformation that is coming out from a former president who spits out garbage that we just annihilate with facts. What he said is just not true."

Anti-war protestor Cindy Sheehan has been giving speeches in various cities - this weekend in Brooklyn she blasted Senator Hillary Clinton for not opposing the war with more vehemence. Sheehan warned Mrs. Clinton that either she renounce the war, or "you're losing your job." Democrat consultant Mary Anne Marsh, who championed Cindy Sheehan this summer, admitted that Sheehan has gotten off track. "I think she's getting bad advice and is exercising bad judgment. I'm very sympathetic to her loss of her son, but what was once a protest against the war is rapidly becoming show biz and a spectacle. She's just trying to get attention."

Dana Richardson has been reunited with her 7-year old daughter Dontre'lle. The little girl was in New Orleans with her father during Hurricane Katrina, then was missing for more than two weeks while her mother was in Florida waiting for news. "I was hoping for the best, but I assumed the worst. I heard so many stories about people who didn't make it, who were trapped in attics, and all kinds of thoughts were going through my head." When Dontre'lle was finally located in Dallas, the Temple Israel congregation in West Palm Beach raised money to fly the little girl back to Florida. The Factor cited this as America at its best. "This is a perfect example of Americans working together over three states with a happy ending. We're very pleased you've been reunited, and hope you can start a new life."

Many localities require paroled child molesters to register with authorities, and most parents are grateful. But Joanne Pratt, whose husband William was convicted of sexually molesting a 12-year old boy, complained that her family has been stigmatized by her husband's crime. "I don't condone it, but it was a non-violent act. It was not rape. There's just a small percentage of molesters who are truly a threat to society. They've been able to rehabilitate these guys, and about 95% are non-violent offenders. These men have families, and we are under siege." The Factor disputed the notion that sex with a child could ever be a non-violent crime. "Your husband molested a 12-year old boy, and if you're going to tell me that's a non-violent offense you don't know what you're talking about. That is a violent act because the child will never get over it."

British Member of Parliament George Galloway once lauded Saddam Hussein for his "courage," and now refers to the US and England as the world's two "rogue states." Galloway joined The Factor and rationalized why he stood with Saddam. "I was against Saddam's aggression against Kuwait, and I was against America's aggression against Iraq. Iraq was bombed back into the Stone Age in 1991. Its entire infrastructure was destroyed, which was an act of aggression." Galloway also criticized US support for Israel. "America, as the only superpower in the world, underwrites a nuclear power in the middle east. Why is Israel allowed to have nuclear weapons and not Iran?" The Factor challenged Galloway to answer a straightforward question: "After 9/11, was the US wrong to remove the Taliban from power in Afghanistan." The question was posed numerous times and in various forms, but Galloway would not answer.

Actor George Clooney has made a new film, and the far-left London Guardian claims he modeled the villain after Bill O'Reilly. Clooney categorically denied the report, which is one more example of the British media getting America wrong. Sarah Baxter explained her colleagues' hostility. "Any excuse to gloat is always taken, whether it's the George Clooney film or the response to Hurricane Katrina. Britons are desperate to feel superior to Americans and they'll use any excuse. Deep down there's admiration for America, but Britons would rather kill themselves than admit it." The Factor condemned the misinformation emanating from some British media. "The BBC, funded by the British taxpayer, gloating over Katrina is beyond the pale. The BBC continues to cheap-shot the USA whenever it gets the chance."

Rick Torres, New Orleans, LA: "Right on Colonel Hunt! Finally, someone has the guts to tell the real story about the widespread looting in this city. My store was sacked for a huge loss. Eyewitnesses told me vans pulled up to the store and the police did not stop it."

Brian Bradford, Washington, DC: "Colonel Hunt's contention that gangs from other states were robbing banks was the most ridiculous item of the day. Keep it real."

Major Craig Weston, Toano, VA: "Bill, you stated that the National Guard should have been in New Orleans before Katrina hit. That would have put them in harm's way and possibly destroyed equipment."

Sharon Ferguson, Columbus, OH: "Bill, it makes me furious that the government of Aruba has not solved the disappearance of Natalee Holloway. I love the 'Boycott France' bumper stickers. How about 'Boycott Aruba?'

And finally, there was this poem from Jeremy Vaughn, Grand Prairie, TX:

Much to the fanatic's chagrin
O'Reilly's the king of no spin,
With wits to the test
He hangs with the best
And severs the head from the pin.
