O'REILLY: Rove put a happy face on the Republican situation. You saw how he did that. He put a little smiley face on it. I'm not so sure it's smiley here. I think the Republican Party a little in disarray here.
HOOVER: I don't know if I'd go as far as disarray. But look, the conservatives are beating up on McCain. And one thing I would notice about this, though, is the conservative talk show radio hosts. These people are saying that McCain's not conservative enough. And they're defining conservatism by the Reagan three-stool, 1980s social conservatives, fiscal conservatives, national security conservatives. Well, John McCain happens to be all three of those. So they're not philosophical issues they have -- they have with John McCain.
O'REILLY: Well, why do they hate him then?
HOOVER: They hate him because of his style, the way he has gone against -- he has not been a go-along, get-along senator. And he has not been a go-along, get-along guy with the Bush administration --
O'REILLY: No. You're wrong.
HOOVER: -- and so they don't like his stylistically, not philosophically.
O'REILLY: Here's why they hate him: because he doesn't like them.
HOOVER: I -- that's not true. He's done more to reach out to the different sides of the party --
O'REILLY: Yeah, I know.
HOOVER: -- in the last week. And you know what?
O'REILLY: Trust me on this, Powers -- Hoover.
HOOVER: Get my name straight, will you?
O'REILLY: He doesn't like 'em.
HOOVER: I'm Hoover.
O'REILLY: I know. There's a lot of blondes --
POWERS: He's chastising you. So he has -- whenever he has to [unintelligible], he has to say my name.
O'REILLY: -- there's a lot of blondes in this operation -- a lot of blondes in this operation. So if once in a while I get you mixed up -- I got Wiehl and Kelly coming up. I mean, I can --
HOOVER: You're bombarded with blondes.
O'REILLY: I need sunglasses in here.
HOOVER: It is so tough for you.
O'REILLY: OK, what I'm telling you is he doesn't like ideologues, and they know it, and they don't like him.
HOOVER: I don't know if it's not ideologues. I think he doesn't like partisans.
O'REILLY: This is my opinion.
HOOVER: I think he doesn't like partisans.
O'REILLY: All right, ideologues, partisans. What's wrong with you?
HOOVER: But there's -- you know, partisans are people --
O'REILLY: It's the same thing.
HOOVER: OK.
O'REILLY: All right, last word on you, frontrunner, Miss Frontrunner. Miss Hopping-on-the-Obama-Bandwagon.
POWERS: It's not true. You're not paying attention --
O'REILLY: Miss Throwing-Senator-Clinton-Under-the-Train.
POWERS: You're not paying attention. I like Hillary Clinton. That's not true.
O'REILLY: Yeah, not as much as you liked her two weeks ago.
POWERS: I'm the one who just argued that she could still win the election.
O'REILLY: Yeah. Well, she could. She has to win both Texas and Ohio. Not one, both. Going to be very tough. Ladies, thank you very much for your blondeness.
