Bill O'Reilly's ego
-Fighting the bad fight-
Bill O'Reilly spent a good part of this weekend proving his FOX News blowhard bona fides. At an Obama event in New Hampshire, Bill decided that he was the most important person in the whole damned world and got physical with an Obama staffer who was in his shot.
According to the report, "The incident was triggered when O'Reilly -- with a Fox News crew shooting -- was screaming at Obama National Trip Director Marvin Nicholson 'Move' so he could get Obama's attention, according to several eyewitnesses. 'O'Reilly was yelling at him, yelling at his face,' a photographer shooting the scene said." Apparently, Bill then tried to shove Nicholson aside. Bill's 6'5", but Nicholson's 6'8". Had he been someone like me, he would've taken Bill and two other foxtards and taught everyone how to juggle.
Luckily for Bill and his minions, Nicholson wasn't interested in tossing him and his minions around for a while and let the Secret Service step in. Bill was contained and moved back into the press area.
Later, on FOX's Weekend Live, Bill explained his actions this way, "That's right. And we're sorry we had to have that little confrontation but no one on this earth is going to block a shot on The O'Reilly Factor. It is not going to happen."
Umm, it kind of did happen, Bill. You didn't actually get the shot, did you?
Bill O'Reilly, folks. The man who's ego is so inflated you can make balloon animals with it. (Sun-Times, Media Matters)

It's amazing how decent an argument you can make with just one panel, isn't it? (Seattle PI, via reddit)
Moron... I mean, more on Bill-
Appearing on FOX News, the Huffington Post's Roy Sekoff had this to say about O'Reilly's hissy-fit to news model Martha MacCallum:
Sekoff: ...and I give him (O'Reilly) credit, cause he didn't hit him with a loofah or a falafel.
MacCallum: Alllllright!
Sekoff: Oh yeah. You know, Martha, maybe the thing was that he was surprised that when he showed up at an Obama event, it was just like any other event and no one was yelling for their iced tea.
As always, C and L has the video.
If you ever wind up on FOX News, never miss the chance to make fun of them. It's not like it's hard or anything... (Crooks and Liars)
