He writes the songs, then pitches them to O'Reilly viewers

Barry Manilow refused to appear on "The View" because they refused to kick conservachick Elizabeth Hasselback off stage while he chatted with the kranky kaffeklatch, reviving the age-old question, "Why do we care about Barry Manilow's politics in the first place?"

Then last night, during "The O'Reilly Factor," a long commercial came on, promoting Manilow's new album of '70s schlock. So he didn't want to be in the same room with Hasselback, but had no problem advertising on O'Reilly? Guess that almighty dollar trumps his "convictions" after all!

And now comes word that Manilow got over his Republiphobia and will appear "in the future" on "The View." When? When his album sales sag, of course!

You mean he will appear on Bill O'Reilly 20 years ago? :)
