NEW YORK - If Bill O'Reilly truly loves a good fight, then he's had quite a week. The Fox News Channel personality's confrontation with David Letterman Tuesday night made for some gripping television. The cranky "Late Show" host told his guest: "I have the feeling about 60 percent of what you say is crap."

That same night, nemesis Keith Olbermann on MSNBC once again named O'Reilly his "Worst Person in the World," this time for battling with two people at The New York Times. That's the 15th time O'Reilly has been cited since Olbermann began his half-facetious, half-serious nightly "award" to wag his finger at bad behavior.

For whatever reason, it seems more people are willing to step into the ring with the host of cable TV news' No. 1 program.

But they'd better beware. Combat may be as essential as oxygen to him.

O'Reilly has already logged many minutes on his TV and radio shows to talk about what he called his "shootout" with Letterman, and posted a video clip on his Web site. He gave a telephone interview to "The View" to say that he didn't feel ambushed.

oh god... :puke:

1. HUH?

The article describes Letterman as "cranky"? If Letterman is "cranky" then what is Bill O'Reilly?

2. The article already is a distortion

It said the following:

"For whatever reason, it seems more people are willing to step into the ring with the host of cable TV news' No. 1 program."

EVERYONE KNOWS O'REILLY IS NOT NEWS, BUT COMMENTARY OR ENTERTAINMENT for the mentally deranged

7. If by "spar" you mean whack him over the head with a 2x4 then...

...sure. I'd like to spar with Bill O'Reilly. :)

(Secretly hoping Herr Falafal will see this post and read it on the air so as to prove how much of a victim he is.)

:evilgrin:

10. That's why people need to IGNORE him

"But they'd better beware. Combat may be as essential as oxygen to him."

Yep, deny the "oxygen" and he'll be snuffed out.
