You may have forgotten O'Reilly's Inside Edition days, but we haven't. This video just resurfaced... and I was wondering how I'd ever make it through Monday!

Digg!

Who ever thought putting O'reilly on ANY Camera was a fool!
He si not even qualified to Read what is givne to him. and Yet FOX thought it wise to let him acutally pretend he can Think?
Granted the same can go for many of Cable "new"- Matthews, Beck,Dobbs, Scarborough..these idiots can't even proabblay manage to dress themselves 9someone must lay out their clothes the night before). Might as well have preprogrammed Recording machines to do their Irrelevant 'Jobs' . They prove Daily (every moment on some days) they have the IQ of the Blond Male Bimbo FOX has in the AM. They are not only irritating and useless, but an Insult to Our intelligence. Teh Cable shows should have to be required to put disclaimers on these shows as "Propaganda" Or 'comic Relief'

Was this the clip that won him the Peabody?
Wait, I know - When he applied for the job at Fox, he used this for his audition tape. And Ailes hired him on the spot!

Why is he so angry?

We do have a right to know why the decider over at FAUX put an obviously VERY angry, perhaps even deranged, man in charge of so many of our TV hours.

What is wrong with Billo? Does he have a religion or drug problem we have not been told about?

When you're programmed for so long to read scripted information you forget how to use common sense and think on your feet or on your rear.

It's obvious frustration is sitting on the right-wing with the prospect of losing the whitehouse because they know they have no viable candidate.

To know that they will lose to a black man is killing them inside deeply.

And here is a fine example of the stability of "conservatives." Temper tantrum/arrested development outbursts like these - and we've seen "w" pout and splutter, Grandpa John, and dead-eye dick all lose their bowels in public. Please, let's get some grown ups into public life and on the airwaves.

What an asshole! He's a professional? Well he was working on Inside Edition which has the same clout
as Fox"news" which is none at all. Bill, that was about a 9 on the tension scale there buddy.

did we miss the point where he threw himself on the floor, thrashing & pounding his arms & legs on the floor?

...held his breath until he passed out?

I'm sure THAT video is somewhere...

having a serious Rage Disorder. He must have been a real asshole of a kid to raise. I pity his parents. And like most raging assholes, he probably has some serious hemorroids; think about the size of eggs.

I checked TPM this morning and they have it right there, if you can't view it here. Pretty damning I might say...No wonder why they tried to pull it asap.

Good grief Billo.

Honey, take granny's advice and go toke on a joint and calm yourself down!

Or perhaps you could rub yourself with a loofah! That's mighty relaxing.

Speaking of loofahs and billo, I made a video asking our dear psycho-anchor some questions sure to make him pop a blood vessel.

I also have one on some amazing dog poop that looked just like Dick Cheney! and for you Dick fans, I am selling the precious poop on ebay, go check it out!

Luv,
Granny

these clowns is for someone to actually goad them into completely "losing it" ON THE AIR with everyone watching them.(They can't eliminate all the "F-Bombs" THAT FAST!) Once the public sees these idiots throw a John MacEnroe-type prime time Celtic hissy fit it will be over for all of them. Do it to Hannity, Matthews, Russert, and ole "Bubba" Clinton, too! (He looked like he was ready to DETONATE when Hillary got blasted by Obama in North Carolina.) And MCCAIN!!!! We could end his campaign ON THE SPOT!("Listen, FRIEND...." BOOM!)

Believe me, I KNOW WHEREOF I SPEAK! As I've said before, Alec Baldwin's meltdown with his kid was just normal father/daughter conversation to me. (In fact, I couldn't figure out what all the fuss was about with THAT!)

Am I surprised at BillO's meltdown? HARDLY! (I knew something like this had to be out there SOMEWHERE with that critter!)
