Who could have imagined that the words 'Jon Stewart,' 'praise,' and 'Bill O'Reilly' would ever be mentioned in the same breath? Well nay-sayers, eat your hearts out. Merely a week after lambasting former Fox conservative pundit Glenn Beck on his primetime cable hit, Jon Stewart took to The Daily Show to address another familiar face on Fox this time only to sing the praises of Bill O'Reilly, a popular TV host in his own right on Fox's The O'Reilly Factor.
In a segment cryptically titled "Tales of Principled Behavior," Stewart criticized Republican Presidential hopeful and business honcho Donald Trump, former vice-Presidential candidate Sarah Palin, and Representative Michele Bachmann for spreading doubts over Obama's place of birth. In reference to Trump's statement on The Today Show regarding personally funding a research team in Hawaii to prove his belief that Obama was not born in the United States, Stewart impersonated one of Trump's researchers by sardonically putting on a pair of sunglasses and drinking a cocktail, while speaking in an accent that sounded conspicuously similar to the cast of Jersey Shore.
Stewart then played a segment of The O'Reilly Factor in which O'Reilly countered any accusations about Obama's birthplace and birth certificate, concluding that "the President is a controversial guy...but he does deserve to be treated honestly does he not?" The camera then returned to Stewart who led the audience in applause and motioned tipping his cap, or yamaca as Stewart joked, to O'Reilly, a figure who he is more often than not at odds with. Although Stewart sarcastically lamented the exit of Glenn Beck from Fox, he certainly has a partner-in-crime in O'Reilly regardless of whether or not he agrees with him, as their reciprocality makes for great TV.

Just lookin' out for the folks, Jon.
For sometime now, Stewart and O’Reilly have been playing kissy face.
Maybe it will be the “Ted and Jon Roadshow” next time BOR is feeling boldly fresh
bill is a paid for wh0re for the left... there is no arguing about it... he has been bought and paid for... friends with both clintons and obama... who interviews the kenyan whenever he needs to imporve his numbers? bill o’butthead.
LLS
You can bet B O’ will use the footage on his “Pinhead or Patriot” segment - NOT!
He’ll use it though. He’ll say something like: “Well thank you Jon. Just tryin’ to educate the folks”
He kisses Zero’s butt every time he needs an interview with the 0ne to prop up his ratings!
I am so glad that another station usually has reruns of NCIS at the same time as B O’’s show! New to NCIS and have not seen most of them!
Mutual appreciation society.

This is why the O’Reilly ruling class types act the way they do... To secure adoration from the left. They are RINO limp-wristed puzzies.
They are all (Beck, OReilly, Coulter, Levin, etc) falling in line w the left’s marching orders to get off the BC issue.
Thank God for HGTV. It’s my go to station these days.
LOL, Bill IS number one in the ratings. How in the hell do you think he needs to prop up his ratings?
that boy needs a good talkin’ to...
Holding Obama to a lower standard than other politicians = racism.
Our Affirmative Action POTUS who skipped along in life a ... what grade student? We know less than 3.3 at Occidental. Got into HLS.
Got onto the Harvard Law Review not through a writing competition but by AFFIRMATIVE ACTION. Job as a guest lecturer... Now President.
BOR is pathetic. We need a real conservative network. Fox is owned by the Saudis (like Obama). $1 trillion this year in oil money for OPEC.
See, those in the media all know Obama is a fraud. Thus no reason to make it public now...
Ah Geez, the American people want to know who is currently occupying the Oval Office. Is it Barry Obama, Barry Soetoro or Steve Dunham?
Coulter and Levin are the biggest disappointments of that group. King and Queen constitution think this is a non-issue.
Beck-- this guy screams Chicken Little everyday, opens every conspiracy out there, but won't even touch this.
That's fine if they want to play it safe, but don't disrupt, and get out of the way.
As for BOR, his career should have ended years ago.
