To anyone who thought that Bill O'Reilly was just playing a character on his show, that no one in real life could really be that angry, this video is for you.

Oh, I agree we’ve all been there and it’s not a big deal. I thought it was pretty damn funny though. You like Bill, but I won’t hold that against you ;)

I believe the Bill O’Reilly M.O. is to invite a distinguished expert on a subject to his show so that Bill can interrupt said expert to tell them HIS opinion in their area of expertise.

Big Deal. I'm no fan of the blowhard, but it sometimes isn't easy to depend upon idiots. Would it be better for him to calmly spout some inanity that many viewers would attribute to him?

It was and I do like watching Bill - actually, there is not much else on TV at that hour anyway. Actually, Bill is a lot closer to a conservative than McCain.

He may be, but he’s also a blowhard IMO. I also wouldn’t stand to have someone wag their finger in my face while yelling at me. I would probably stick said finger where he wouldn’t want it to go. But, to each his own.

I have seen him do that numerous times and that’s what I got tired of seeing, if he believes something he doesn’t let facts alter his opinion.

However, I will give him credit for a few things such as going after soft judges and beefing up sex offender laws.

That was the horrible example of him blowing his top? I'm underwhelmed to say the least.

So he got frustrated with either a messed up teleprompter or the people writing the info that goes on the teleprompter, and lost his temper under the time pressure of recording the closing clip during the commercial break and spouted a few bad words.

He did manage to handle the closing comments live reasonably well.

I suppose he's never supposed to get pissed off on the job and swear when they aren't live?

It this, which is obviously from a long time ago, is the best example from his long television career of him getting upset on the set, I'd say he's obviously a pretty calm guy, and the people dredging this up from way back when are just childish.

Chill feller. Its only humor, not some grand statement on anger management.

You should watch him for awhile, he will grow on you. By the way, he’s doesn’t wag his finger at the folks, only the bad guys and CNN, MSNBC, that hardball guy and most democrats!

He looks like Gene Hackman when he’s mad, which isn’t a bad thing.

We didn’t watch him for years, couldn’t stand his blowhardiness. Started again about six months ago, and even though he can sometimes be insufferable, he oftentimes is quite funny and self-deprecating. His segments with Megan Kelly and Lis Weihl are funny, as is his culture quiz with Steve Doocy and Martha McCallum. The body language thing is often quite humorous too.

Yep, BOR is psychotic. I’ve been waiting for him to bust a blood vessel in his head on air for years.

I thought it was Glen Beck who is always going to have blood squirt from his eyes? I never heard of BOR getting that mad. Maybe he has grown up some...

Sorry, but BOR might grow on me like a fungus. I think I’ve watched him enough to know I don’t like him. Every show I’ve seen, he does wag his finger, but to each his own, Sonora.
