In his latest syndicated column, Fox News anchor Bill O'Reilly comments on last week's presidential debate and the effect it had on President Obama's supporters:

"You know there's trouble on the left when the MSNBC people declare Mitt Romney the winner in the first presidential debate. I mean, there was wailing and gnashing of teeth on the uber-liberal cable network: Why oh why did our guy look so awkward? Even though we don't believe in God, we'd now like him to help our president if he can."

For the record: MSNBC's post-debate commentators included Rachel Maddow (who says her family is "very Catholic"), Chris Matthews (reportedly a Catholic) and Rev. Al Sharpton.

Also for the record: O'Reilly may have been making a joke.
