Bill O'Reilly just defended David Gregory's drunken appearance on Imus radio show tonight on "The Factor". O'Reilly claimed Gregory was a "good guy", and "was probably just tired" so "I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt". Even guest Juan Williams was amazed, saying Gregory had ruined his credibility.
The best part was all the laughter in the background. I'm wondering if Chuck, Bernard, or Lou are off the floor yet!
Just listened to the Gregory comments on Imus,sounds to me like a man that has been told,"We have to let you go".
Don't leave us in the dark.
O'Reilly is not conservative. O'Reilly is not liberal. O'Reilly is simply an opportunist who "goes with the flow" that he thinks will float his boat. I dismissed him more than 2 years ago.
I don't find him interesting, in the slightest.
I watch Britt Hume on Fox, FNS, occassionally Beltway Boys and I'm beginning to get interested in Journal Editorial Report, but beyond that I'm quickly losiing interest.
O'Reilly? What is up with O'Reilly?
He's a Craftsman.
He's a Snap-On.
He's a tool.
O'Reilly is a pompous ass. I cannot believe that he enjoys high ratings. I can only watch him for less than 60 secs before changing channels
To suggest that Gregory wasn't drunk or high is just ridiculous. That said, I doubt there are very many people who haven't made drunken asses out of themselves at some point. Unfortunately for Gregory, he just happened to be calling in to a live television show.
Juan Williams appeared stunned to find out O'Reilly's opinion.
O'Reilly still cant call out one of his own.
So what are gregory and oreilly engaged in well um. phone conversations like he was with his intern ?
Grow up. Listen to the tape. Imagine the difference between a sideways remark and a broadcast to millions.
O'Reilly is all bark and no bite.
Didn't really expect to hear from any gregory defenders. Your screen name fits you well.
O'reilly still has a show???
Maybe Gregory was sleepy instead of drunk as O'Reilly suggested (I doubt that).
But, if he was, Gregory needs to get his ass into a different profession.
A reporter should not need sleep that badly. If you are going to be up all night covering a huge story, it would not be okay to act like that in the morning.
You would still be expected to act decently.
Gregory lost it completely. He should be fired.
C'mon - - Gregory has made an (even bigger) idiot of himself for everyone to see, and O'Reilly is just showing his audience that he's like a father figure who is not about to "pile on" over the antics of a silly child. Beating up Gregory right now is the easiest thing in the world.
He is a populist, plain and simple.
He tries to gauge which way the wind blows, while maintaining some kind of consistancy.
The one thing I do like him, is that, on the right night and with a liberal guest, he can destroy them with ease.
But thats more or less just being competant, he looks better because everyone else is just so bad.
>>>O'reilly still has a show???
Like Hannity has books. :)
Oh yes Gregory, Could this be the same White House Reporter that was really pi$$ed o## that he was not informed FIRST about a little shotgun accident.;)
