The MRC's Jessica Barnes took down the exchange on the June 1 edition of The View which occurred as O'Reilly sat on a sofa with Jones and Meredith Vieira on one side, and Behar and Elisabeth Hasselbeck on the other.
Hasselbeck: "What do you think about Senator Clinton? I mean, why won't she just come out and say she's going to run in '08? And if so, I know that Larry King actually mentioned the other night".
O'Reilly:, feigning ignorance: "Who? Who?"
Hasselbeck: "I'm sorry, Dick Cheney was on Larry King and actually said that Laura Bush would make a good opponent for Hillary, so what do you think?" [Actually, that was quip from Lynne Cheney]
O'Reilly: "Number one, Laura Bush isn't running for anything, okay? That's not going to happen. And Hillary is going to run and she will get the nomination. It depends who she runs against."
[Audience applauds, as does Star Jones, but not former CBS News reporter Meredith Vieira]
O'Reilly: "All you guys clapping, I hope you want to pay more taxes, because that's what's going to happen. [Sarcastically, begins clapping to egg on audience] More taxes, yes! Take more money from me!"
Behar: "Wait a second! No, how do you know that?"
O'Reilly, still being sarcastic: "Oh, I don't know that! Now we're back. I gave her a compliment, and now we're back."
Behar: "You don't know that. Because you don't know that for a fact."
O'Reilly: "Of course I do."
Behar, referring back to earlier topics: "You won't make a prediction on Michael Jackson, but on taxes and Hillary, he makes a big prediction!"
[Audience applause]
Hasselbeck: "It's an educated assumption, an educated guess."

Support Michael website:"This was Bill O'Reilly's comment about MJ":
"Michael Jackson is blaming his record company Sony for poor promotion of his latest album "Invincible" Michael Jackson, get it through your head no one wants a child molester in their home, along with your scarey looks to scare little children."
Prediction on the outcome of the trial no; but whether Jackson is a child molester and not just 'weird', seems Bill has made up his mind. Whether Hillary is running in '08, pretty much a given.
Star Jones put down her ham sandwich to clap?
Aawww give Star a break. If I had married a gay man I'd over eat too. :)

Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my FoxFan list. *Warning: This can be a high-volume ping list at times.
A gang of goofy emotional dingbats, including O'Reilly.
About as many as watch MSNBC.
Who is Star Jones anyway?
Thanks for the ping!
Did she really marry a Gay man?
Yes.
