Today's Internet Buzz: Bill O'Reilly Goes Bonkers Over A Teleprompter May 12, 2008
CBS has been busy trying to bury this video all day today but it's way, way too late. It's all over the Internet, entertaining hundreds of thousands of users.
(400,000 views on Youtube before it was pulled.)
Here's an outtake where Bill, seen during his stint as an Inside Edition anchor, goes bonkers over a teleprompter. Watch it to the end, for Bill's little flourish.
So much for CBS suppression. Hardly unexpected but the vid is about to be featured on MSNBC's Countdown with Keith Olbermann - right now, as we speak. lol!
"I had nothing to do with this getting out," Olbermann just delcared gleefully.

Hi Mary....Yes, I am the same Lance....
What I would love to know is ....
Why is BillO considered so evil...as you make him out.
Videos like this are nothing new, especially in the internet "gotcha" age.
It appears to me that Olbermann is insanely jealous of O'Reilly's ratings.
His nightly rants and making Billo the "Worst Person" is just childish.
I would love to know if you were insulted by KO's Nazi salute??
Or, were excuses made, since he was insulting O'Reilly.
As a Jew, I find such expressions repulsive....in much the same way you, as a Catholic, find Hagee's remarks wrong.

That's how Olbermann reacts when he sees his ratings every night.

Bill O'Reilly is an unrepentant lunatic. He deserves to be slapped around. I watch Keith Olbermann every night. I love the way he hands Billo's ass to him. Keith Rules!!!

Yo Lance! (et. al )- in the post above, I'm mostly covering some Internet ephemera - since the vid was popular yesterday, was generating a ton of Youtube views etc. Careful not to shoot the messenger, in this particular instance. :) 'kay? - that said, I kinda like KO, but I only watch his show sporadically. (Can't keep up - I'm already watching 30-40 hours of programming/week and writing on top of that...) Serendipitously, my husband was channel surfing last night and he passed over KO...
I agree KO's Nazi salute was over-the-top. At press tour, Olbermann held a BO mask to his face and saluted. I can't recall why I missed that breakfast... (My husband is Jewish and he laughed at the time. I was actually more uneasy about the incident than he was. Weird.) Last night, KO also said "I'm confident there's an outtake of me somewhere that looks a little like that, so if you have it, please post it immediately. Send me a link. It will probably be from when I was at Fox." Uh, oh. Careful what you wish for there, KO. ESPN probably has some juicy footage. :) (KO apologized, eventually, for his behavior there, after the publication of Mike Freeman's book, "ESPN: The Uncensored History") P.S. BO made a lot of enemies here in San Francisco when he invited Al Qaeda to blow up Coit Tower, our monument to firefighters. He has not been forgiven.
