From a January 30 broadcast of The O’Reilly Factor:

O’REILLY: Continuing now with "Campaign ’08." Earlier today, John Edwards dropped out of the race, as we said, but he’s still on bridge patrol.

EDWARDS : I want to say to everyone here, on the way here today, we passed under a bridge that carried the interstate where 100 to 200 homeless Americans sleep every night.

O’REILLY: Now, we called the Edwards campaign and asked where exactly is that bridge so we could help those people. Apparently, they don’t know or they wouldn’t tell us. The Edwards campaign can’t pinpoint the bridge. And John Edwards apparently is not involved in a rescue mission. I know you’re shocked.

[…]

O’REILLY: Joining us now from Washington with analysis, Fox News guy Juan Williams and Hillary supporter Kiki McLean. All right, we’ll get to Edwards in a minute. The guy — you got to, Kiki, you got to call him and tell him to knock it off with the bridges. He’s obsessed with the bridges.

McLEAN: Listen, listen —

O’REILLY: Just tell me where the bridge is. We will help those people. They can’t tell me. OK.

McLEAN: You know what? You know what? Whether it’s that specific bridge or somewhere else in America, he’s right. There are people who are sleeping under a bridge without a roof over their head. And that’s the point.

O’REILLY: OK, Kiki, all you need to do is tell me where the bridge is, Juan and I will go out there and we’ll help those folks. OK?

From TellMeWhereThe BridgeIs.Com:

They’ve even provided a map to help Bill O.  It’s right in New Orleans, where Edwards was talking about.
