2. Yes, he didn't like the questions Terri Gross was asking.
Accused her of showing favoritism to Al Franken last week. And, the Franken interview was far better than this one. Lord, that man needs help.

I just heard the show. What an asshole. Terry should have just thrown him off first.

5. I think the interview was by phone
and he hung up rather than physically walked out, but yes. I listed to it and he was an incredible jerk.

6. Yeah
He was whining about a People magazine review that Terry Gross wanted to read.

The best thing is that Gross read the review anyway after O'Reilly hung up on her.

9. I'm listening to it, as I write this...
Damn, he comes across so ANGRY, even when he is just conversing. This guy, definitely has a problem.

Terry Gross is so gracious, that it even underscores how bitterly defensive he is.

7. Hung up, actually
He was being interviewed by Terry Gross on Fresh Air and ended up giving her a big lecture on how he didn't respect her and Al Franken's book wasn't "satire" and then hung up.

it was hilarious. Go to National Public Radio and listen to it on the web. The guy is seriously unbalanced.

1. I just told you the truth.
2. Anyone who doesn't believe the truth I just told is an idiot.
3. I dare you to be an idiot.

Rinse, repeat.

That's his whole schtick, I swear.

The guy needs help.

8. Yes! Yes! Yes!
I'm listening to the steaming audio as I keyboard. You've GOT TO HEAR THIS! It's one lie after another! Twill make you GAG!

Terry Gross is about as hard hitting as whipped cream, so if O'Reilly can't stand to sit through one of her interviews he is one sick puppy indeed.

Does anyone have an email address for O'Reilly? I think he deserves lots of email calling him a sick, pathetic, little pussy wuss.
