How hard is it to be the king, man? It must be hard to be surrounded by people not amazing as you. How do you handle the rest of humanity when you are so great?

Rachel Maddow, a guest Wednesday night on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live, was asked what question she’d pose to Bill O’Reilly. 

Watch: Mediaite

Clearly Fox is where you can see legitimate journalism taking place in terms of adversarial posture towards those in power.

O’Reilly said, “this is where you and I will never agree,” Powers shot back, “Because I use facts?”

“Everyone here is playing their appointed role. Colmes is pleading with O’Reilly to stop yelling at him and whimpering things like “we’ll just have to disagree.” Crowley is affirming O’Reilly’s correctness and cheerfully allowing him to interrupt after a couple of seconds of talking so as not to yammer on in a way that annoys him. And O’Reilly himself, after finally calming down, reaffirms his own white-is-black claim with such conviction that viewers have probably already forgotten that he is feverishly denying something that they witnessed with their own eyes. The segment has achieved such Fox News perfection that it can never be reached again. Roger Ailes should simply loop it endlessly for the rest of time.” - Jonathan Chait, The Fox News–iest Segment in Fox News History — Daily Intelligencer

One thing is certain: The young Bill O’Reilly had the nerve to call and report. The current Bill O’Reilly has the impulse to avoid and embellish. In one little fib, O’Reilly reveals how he abandoned fact-gathering in favor of myth-making.” - Jefferson Morley

CAN’T WAIT!

Stewart will eat Bill O’Reilly’s liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti.

Bill O’Reilly lackey Jesse Watters: “Is Obama is doing a good job?”

George Clooney: “Yes, he is. He’s the president of the United States. He’s not Obama. He’s the president of the United States.”

Now,” O’Reilly responded, “there is no question that Mr. Stewart is going to Hell. But he does have a couple of valid points.

Somewhat miraculously, O’Reilly agreed that the [Iraq] war was “something that should not have happened in hindsight,” but he also justified his support for it. “All the reportage was that Saddam Hussein did have these weapons,” he said.

Letterman didn’t want his rhetorical victory to go unacknowledged, stood up and asked O’Reilly to give him a high-five. “C’mon! Up high! Get up here! C’mon, Billy, let’s go!” he taunted.

O’Reilly clearly was not amused. “We’re having a good conversation, sit down,” he ordered, sounding like a short-tempered dad quelling a car full of rowdy kids.
