Barack Obama acquiesced and agreed to appear on The O'Reilly Factor, after much taunting and mashing of teeth from Billbo himself — and a little intervention with Roger Ailes.

Trap? Perhaps. But Obama's visit to the Fox newsroom for the first time will happen tonight, as O'Reilly teased during much of last night's show.

That's tonight, as in the final night of the RNC, when John McCain will be making his nomination speech. Watching beady-eyed Bill lob cheap shots at Obama is definitely preferable to watching beady-eyed McCain make some lame jokes at the podium.

Though viewers tuning in to the loaded question segment may be disappointed: O'Reilly has this tendency to go all sincere once he's finally finagled candidates onto the program and has to deal with them face-to-face. (See: Hillary Clinton.) Cutting off Barack's microphone, however, is remains an option.
