Bill is getting called out by a more seasoned journalist

And who would have ever thought that Geraldo would qualify for this kind of acknowledgment? On the BillO scale, even Geraldo looks respectable. Fancy that.

This was Faux News Theater. Terrible acting included. These two put on a show and then snickered when the commercial break finally came. Always look at the actor’s eyes, therein lies the talent for stage acting. These two just couldn’t pull it off. Terrible, terrible acting. Fair and Balanced? Hardly. But Faux News will point to it as such. There is never, and I do mean never, two sides from Faux News.</p> Hmmmm….Different take on this. This was Faux News Theater. Terrible acting included.

Why do I keep picturing all these rethugs lately: O’Reilly, chimp, Sampson, Toensing, stalking or crawling out of camera range and knocking back several stiff drinks?

How many scotches do you think it took to mellow O’Reilly’s harsh? I’m thinking at least three, maybe four.

It’s a theater. It was the big bully professional wrestler letting himself get beat to earn some sympathy.

The whole purpose of that exchange had absolutely nothing to do with what they were talking about. It had nothing at all to do with drunk driving or immigration

It had everything to do with, the ONLY purpose of that exchange was to prop up the idea that fox news channel is somehow open to differences to opinion, that it’s a fair and balanced free exchange of ideas.

The headline at Crooks and Liars should not be…

Bill O’Reilly’s head practically explodes as he screams at Geraldo…

the headline at firedoglake should not be:

Conservatives UNHINGED!!

the headline at TalkLeft should not be:

Geraldo Sticks it to Bill O’Reilly

the headline should be:

BILL-O AND GERALDO FAKE AN ARGUMENT!

it seems awkward to me that progressive blogosphere doesn’t get this.

Remember. They both calm down. Smile at each other. And then. At the very end of the “argument”, Geraldo says “Seriously, one of the wonderful things about our network is….”
