O'Reilly vs Sebelius
On his program last night, Bill O'Reilly took some governors to task for failing to pass "Jessica's Law," which is mandates tough prison sentences for child rapists. In the segment, O'Relly goes after Gov. Kathleen Sebelius of Kansas, who is regarded as being on the short list for Obama's VP, for Dr. George Tiller -- a late-term abortion doctor who was just recently cleared of charges that he broke the law on late-term procedures. Here's the transcript:
On another note, we were curious what Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius thought of recent criminal charges against Dr. George Tiller, so-called named "Tiller the Baby Killer." As "The Factor" has been reporting, this man will terminate fetuses at any time for $5,000.(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
WATTERS: Hey, governor, how are you? It's Jesse Watters with "The O'Reilly Factor" from FOX News.
GOV. KATHLEEN SEBELIUS, D-KAN.: Hi. How are you?
WATTERS: How are you? Hey what are you...
SEBELIUS: We're going here?
WATTERS: What do you think about Dr. George Tiller?
SEBELIUS: I don't think anything about Dr. George Tiller.
WATTERS: You know, the late-term abortion doctor in your state?
SEBELIUS: Yes.
WATTERS: You don't have an opinion of him?
SEBELIUS: He's a health care provider in Kansas.
WATTERS: You know, he was largely not indicted because of a technicality in Kansas law.
SEBELIUS: There was a grand jury who found no charges to bring against him.
WATTERS: You know, there was a lot of evidence there that he was performing illegal late-term abortions and covering up instances of child rape.

O'REILLY: He's a health care provider according to Governor Sebelius. Well, Tiller himself donated money to her campaign. She doesn't seem to be real upset about this guy operating a death mill, which is exactly what it is in her state, does she?

Obviously, O'Reilly's criticism is aimed at a partisan audience. But should Obama choose Sebelius, we might be hearing more about George Tiller.
