Bill O'Reilly Mocks Helen Thomas
O'Reilly attacked veteran AP reporter Helen Thomas for no apparent reason. First, he began cawing in a mean-spirited imitation of her that he described as “like the Wicked Witch of the East.” Then, he said, “If I were Obama, I would have poured water on her and she'd dissolve.” O'Reilly carried the attacks into his next segment where Bernard Goldberg joined in the smearing. With video.

1. He needs to retire

He is lost in the GW era and can't get out.

6. Why would he retire when everyone seems to watch him?
It's the same with Morning Joe. Every morning the same complaints, but no one turns them off.

:shrug:

3. Yo, Bill! It's a new day! Get with the program or become even more irrelevant.
Don't you read the polls, Bill?

7. Those with glass faces shouldn't throw stones
Not exactly a beauty youself, dude. Always seems like he's making a permanent "belch" face when I see him in pictures.

8. Picking on an old woman is bully Bill's style, alright
Though Helen Thomas is hardly defenceless and could probably kick O'Reilly's ass. Certainly in a battle of wits, she'd be fighting an unarmed man.

9. If O'Reilly lived to 100 he wouldn't be a 1/100th the journalist Helen Thomas is.

10. O'Rielly does know that he employed by a largely struggling, last place network, right?
Best not to stir the water in this economy, Bill.

13. He is the worst kind
of human being. Mocking someone of her age and credentials not to mention the fact that he looks like he's about 100

I am impressed - Alan Colmes of all people actually called Billo out for his mocking of Helen Thomas.
