Bill O'Reilly accused of being drunk on TV

Bill O'Reilly accused of being drunk during GOP debate post show
Fox News host Bill O'Reilly's awkward performance following the GOP debate left many asking questions.

As originally reported by Raw Story on March 3, comedian Patton Oswalt was the first to point out what appeared to be O'Reilly's inebriated state.
Most notably during interviews with Donald Trump and Ted Cruz, O'Reilly could be heard slurring his words, while struggling to get through routine questions.

divorce and custody of his children, and he's been on the losing end.
I'm not defending him, just suggesting a possible/likely reason.

is because it was a power trip thing for him and he lost. Not because he loves his offspring.

and watch Fox and ReTHUGs self-destructing - all at the same time - is 'kind of nice'.
It's over fuckers - your Reagan revolution is over. Next - the economy - I even heard Hillary Clinton defend unions today.

no uncontested seats anywhere! We're putting Dems on the ticket in our Republican stronghold. Time to take advantage of GOP dysfunction.
