Feud of the Week Jan. 24, 2005
NAME: Bill O'Reilly
OCCUPATION: Prime-time red-state talking head
BEST PUNCH: Reopening a spat that followed a 9/11 benefit, the Fox anchor questioned whether funds from an NBC telethon would go to tsunami relief: "If George Clooney and other stars go on TV and ask you to give, then they had better be involved all the way down the line."
NAME: George Clooney
OCCUPATION: Prime-grade blue-state movie hunk
BEST PUNCH: The Ocean's Twelve star responded with a letter inviting O'Reilly to be a presenter on the program and follow up on the fund raising. "This is your chance to put your considerable money where your considerable mouth is," he said.
WINNER: All of humanity. O'Reilly accepted Clooney's offer to appear alongside stars like Jay Leno and Christina Aguilera. Maybe the finger-wagging host can be in Ocean's Thirteen too.
