Someone could make a whole series out of this gimmick; sort of like "Muppet Babies" or "Tiny Toones", but with O'Reilly, Limbaugh, Hannity, Malkin, et al.

"In this week's episode of 'The Conservative Kids', Rushie and Seanie gang up on the shy 'librul kid' by giving him a wedgie and hopping off the teeter-totter when he's in the air. Michelle complains about being unfairly criticized after she chews out a little girl for wearing the wrong colored jumper. Meanwhile, Billie has his own problems when a reporter from the school paper catches him 'playing doctor' with his dad's secretary's daughter behind the portable."

A veritable laugh-riot ensues...

@4 - The Daily Show used to do a series called "great moments in punditry--as read by children." The kids weren't nearly as good as this one, but there was some great stuff. Here's one from 2005:

I'm with #4. But...

The problem with O'Reilly, Palin, etc. is they're so absurd to start with that it's difficult to satirize them. Much as I appreciate Tina Fey, she hasn't said or done anything in character that's a significant advancement on Palin herself. Argh.

Cute kid...and I hate O'Reilly as much as the next Boulder liberal, but this didn't work for me. I know that kids pretending to be asshole adults (like that Will Farrell landlady skit) is supposed to be funny, but I just don't see it.
