Forget spades, when addressing Bill O'Reilly, you better come to the table ready to name call. Sure we have tons of them, Falafel boy, Loofah man, moron, loud mouth, idiot, tool, liar, scumbag, I could go on and on. Rarely though do you hear the media talking about him save for Keith Olbermann or whoever gets in his path of ridiculous ire. Well David Shuster changed that this morning while on Scarborough's show over on MSNBC.
From RawStory:
In the middle of a discussion of the Democratic primaries on MSNBC's Morning Joe, correspondent David Shuster burst out, "I don't know if this is the time to talk about Bill O'Reilly, but I've got a lot of things I want to say."When encouraged to "get it out," Shuster stated emphatically, "Bill O'Reilly is a jerk."
"There's Bill O'Reilly at a Barack Obama event," Shuster explained. "Bill O'Reilly shoved a guy -- shoved a guy who was working for Barack Obama, because the guy happened to be standing in a certain spot. And there's Bill O'Reilly saying, 'Nobody gets in the way of the Factor's cameras.' ... Obama comes up, and what does Bill O'Reilly do? Does he ask some tough penetrating question? ... No. 'Will you come on my show?'"
"Give me a break," said Shuster. "What a jerk. What a jerk. Fox News ought to be so embarrassed with this guy."
"He's a cartoon character," agreed Mika Brzezinski.
"He's a buffoon," amplified Shuster. "He's such a buffoon, and everybody knows it."
All Shuster had to do was crack open the door on Bill and the flood came out. Everyone knows that Bill O is jerk, buffoon and all those names I listed above, but rarely does the media talk trash about him. Perhaps a lot of his 'peers' were afraid of him for whatever reason. Yet after watching him act the way he did in New Hampshire at the Obama rally, reporters got the message that O'Reilly is fair game.
Hear that, hunting season is open CNN, MSNBC and any other press outfit out there!
