O'Reilly's Irish

A much younger Bill O'Reilly (as he looked, I'm guessing, a good 12 or 15 years ago) showing a little temper on Inside Edition. Pretty funny, I feel. Video provided by the College Humor guys.

That man was given his own show? That man represents a large percentage of the population? The more you post, Mr. Wells, the more your utopia seems a pleasant society to strive for. What a cretinous thug. Doesn't understand how to say "Play us out?" The song is going to play you off the air, jackass...who did he know to become as influential as he is...
And before all you righty cretins respond, I know there are a lot of cretinous thugs out there, some left-leaning, but they don't represent as many people's mindset as this idiot does.

And yet your mindset automatically labels anybody who disagrees with you as a cretin? You may be closer to O'Reilly than you think.

(I'm a righty cretin who happens to think O'Reilly is a doucheknob, by the way).

Hats off to the guy who just kept his cool, was a pro, explained the indecipherable meaning of the cryptic "Play us out", continued counting down and guided poor little lost Bill through the dark night of his soul. Pity the same guy isn't there to guide Bill out of it now that he really needs him.

No one said that. There are reasonable righties - but a lot are cretins. The fact that you jumped to that conclusion right away says a lot.

In Dassin's The Naked City, the killer (SPOILER!) looks just like O'Reilley.

At the end of the film, he climbs a tower like Kong and is shot down by the cops, a fate he richly deserves for being such a mad-dog scumball.

The guy in the movie, that is.

Rockne baited the hook and idiots swallowed it whole.

He addressed it solely to cretins, even pointing out that the cretin membership includes those on the left as well. Yet, some just couldn't stop their knees from jerking their hands to the keyboards to furiously type out a rejoinder.

And yeah, someone get that floor manager's name because that dude is a fucking pro.

As a born and bred 'Irish', I'd like to correct the notion once and for all that Bill O'Reilly's particular brand of fuckery has anything to do with his 'Irish'.
The guy is an 'eejit'(a colloquial Irish term for 'fucking idiot)in any language.

Well, as the genial clotting-heart liberal that I am, Mgmax, I'll name some righties I would consider reasonable.

My father, who (cheap plug) is a terrific artist [http://www.rogerheuck.com];

P.J. O'Rourke, whose statement of "Having freedom must include freedom to fail" always struck me as a fair assessment;

Hugh Hewitt, who uses case law and reputable authors rather than, say, Drudge and the Bible, to argue the points that I disagree with, plus he's a fan of Morricone, Marvel comix, and THERE WILL BE BLOOD, so I could easily sit down over a couple steaks with him;

Brian Burgess, a right-leaning stand-up comic who managed never to be preachy with his jokes, a particular favorite of mine being his rip on Qadafi - "When you wake up in the morning to B-52s over your home, it's time to reassess your personality."

And (cheating again) pretty much every Republican I know personally who never disparaged or discriminated against minorities or blamed pop culture for society ills, and were always more interested in trading dirty jokes and enjoying friendship than in winning any political argument that might have come up.

I'm the last person to agree with O'Reilly, but it seems like his gripes about the "quality" of the shoot were legit, even if his outbursts were out of line. I mean, how tough is it to write a coherent read-out? It seems like it was the production company was really the unprofessional one in this situation. I thought Payne was more of a jerk on the Huckabees set.

Major Calloway Author Profile Page says ...

I'm partially with DZ on this. Not so much because the read-out wasn't coherent enough, but because of the apparent fumbling around in response to his questions. I wouldn't be surprised to find his frustration had been building throughout, and we're just seeing the part where he finally loses it.

That said, he comes off almost as juvenile as I feel after losing my parental temper over glue spilled on the kitchen table: "Fuckin' thing! Sucks!!!" Hilarious, yet sadly familiar...

what's really funny about the whole B-52 bombing business is that we went after him from masterminding the bombing of that Berlin Disco. and then after the fall of the Berlin wall, we discover that it was the fine folks of East Germany that planned that bombing. So we basically killed the guy's daughter for a crime he didn't commit. That's such a funny joke.

Not Payne, it was David O. Russell who did Huckabees, and flipped on Tomlin.

Alexander Payne is actually quite a different person altogether.
