Bill O'Reilly is an Idiot

People have been commenting on O'Reilly's temper in this clip. My observation is who the hell doesn't know what "play us out" means?




He really does come off like he has the IQ of William Hurt in Broadcast News.

You really have to wonder about his state of mind. Granted, I have had moments like this in my life. But usually there is a build-up to it and it is shocking to the people around me. As far as I can tell from this video, this reaction came out of left field. The fact the floor director had no reaction to it gives me the impression that this is standard operating procedure for O'Reilly, a man who obviously has ongoing anger management issues, probably tied to his father beating him or priest molesting him when he lived in Levittown, NY.

And to think he has the nerve to write about the "Cultural War" in this country...absolutely amazing! The culture he's fighting for is the one that lives by the creed...anything for a buck!

face it, conservative republicans are for the status quo they have the money and the power and the conservative ideology and want to keep the status quo. The democrats want to change the status quo for the middle and lower classes and wrest some power away from the moneyed class. Neither side is evil its just they want a slice of the pie the other side it NOT willing to give up

When power and money are used to stop others from competing for a slice of the pie...I call that not evil...but wrong.

I was listening to Sean Hammitty the other day. It was amazing. He had on the telephone Jerry Falwell's widow who had "just written a book" and he had the "pleasure" of witting the forward.

After a lengthy praise introduction he asks her why she felt "the main stream media" never talked about the good that Falwell did. She was obviously out of it and babbled about her late husband being a good man.

Hammity asked her similar question and her answer was an equal amount of babble that had nothing to do with the question.

Then Hammiity said "I will let you go - thanks for coming on the show" and proceeded do another lengthy exhortation about what a great woman she was and how she "wrote" this wonderful book. It was clear from the 2 things he said to her that the was not mentally competent enough to write a check. But Hammity praised her for the next 5 minute for her "witting this wonderful book".

Actually, O’Reilly sounds like many of the posters in FU……with maybe the exception being Vince 1...who was probably raised by PETA stuffed animals.

Although,he really lost it one time when the Moderator, moderated him…..but, he didn’t use the F word so, I guess he’s still a little different. Well….. a lot different.


But, sure, there are many people who need a little help modifying their anger. Maybe a psychologist will volunteer to join FU for a few group sessions. LOL

SILLY SUE A SALTY SWILLER
POTTY MOUTH'S 'TIPSY' ANTICS



May 14, 2008 --
Salty Sue Simmons, who shocked Channel 4 viewers with a four-letter tirade, is famous for her liquid dinners between broadcasts, potty mouth and zany behavior, former co-workers told The Post yesterday.

Simmons delivered a jaw-dropping f-bomb Monday night as she read a teaser for her 11 p.m. newscast, prompting an on-air apology from the veteran anchor a half-hour later.
The incident didn't stun some former colleagues.

"Sue Simmons likes the sauce and she can be cranky about it," a former WNBC employee told The Post. "She was sometimes a little tipsy [on the air] to the point where colleagues would take notice."

Simmons anchors Channel 4's 5 p.m. newscast, and then has time to pass until 11 p.m.
Those hours are regularly spent at Midtown watering holes like Gallagher's steakhouse and Jean Georges, witnesses said.

"I wouldn't say she gets sloshed - sloshed, that wouldn't be the right word," a Gallagher's employee said, gesturing to the back booths where Simmons typically takes her between-show breaks.

"I would say she gets happy. She gets very happy."

An employee at Jean Georges at Columbus Circle said Simmons isn't shy about drinking with her meals - and then heading back to work.

"She's been here and she's had drinks with her dinner," a Jean Georges employee said. "She's had a cocktail or two, yes, between shows, with dinner."
The sometimes tipsy news anchor became an overnight Web-video sensation, thanks to a tease she read for Monday's news.

Simmons told viewers to watch at 11 for a story about rising food costs.
The screen had been rolling stock footage of groceries, before turning to a cruise boat. Simmons flipped out and shouted: "What the f- - - are you doing?"

Several former Channel 4 employees, who praised Simmons' offbeat personality, said the anchor is famous for sailor-like swearing.

Don't get me wrong, I think the NY Post is great... but a sensationalist tabloid-style newspaper owned by Rupert Murdoch taking pot-shots at an NBC anchor doesn't exactly equate to "cold hard facts".

The story I've heard, one that makes the least number of assumptions, is that the NBC news teasers are normally recorded ahead of time. For some reason, this teaser was done live, and she wasn't thinking and let it slip.

The big difference between what she did and the O' Reilly thing is that not many people know who Sue Simmons is, whereas Bill O' Reilly is well known all over the country.

I think she was yelling at the anchor next to her. I think he was supposed to pick up the tease for the cruise line story but was busy doing a crossword or something.

Anyway, I could care less what happens to this gal, or O'Reilly. My point with O'Reilly isn't so much that he yelled. It is that he is too fucking stupid to know what "play us out" means. It is a common term in TV and entertainment, so much so that the general population uses it as well. The fact that 1) he didn't know it and 2) freaked out about it indicates to me the guy is stupid, insecure and unbalanced...kind of like Alias.

Ha! This is when I accused Meeper and Washingtone of being co-joined at the neck.

Still not sure they aren't...
