Michael “Mikey” Weinstein made a fairly effective effort<\/a> to focus the debacle of his “interview” with Bill O’Reilly<\/a> last week on an O’Reilly quote near the end of the piece. After O’Reilly called the removal of the Nativity at Guantanamo a “cowardly” decision and questioned why Weinstein’s anonymous “clients” didn’t have the “cajones” to come on The O’Reilly Factor, Weinstein pushed back with “at least [my clients] joined the military…” In response, O’Reilly said<\/p>\n

“I covered four wars with a pen…so don’t impugn my courage ever again.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That retort can justifiably be criticized — but can Weinstein<\/em> criticize it? O’Reilly was apparently referring to being a correspondent and experiencing a couple of “firefights.” According to his own admissions, the closest Weinstein came to combat was giving a briefing on the breakup of AT&T. While Weinstein did serve in the Air Force, he spent nearly half his uniformed career as a student<\/em>.<\/p>\n

O’Reilly looked foolish trying to buttress his combat cred with his “pen.” But Weinstein is throwing stones pretty confidently for someone who lives in a glass house.<\/p>\n
