O'Reilly mocks "old lady" Helen Thomas, compares her to "the Wicked Witch of the East"

I saw this but was NOT shocked. Nothing billybob o'rally says shocks me anymore. billybob probably needed a drink after Obama did his thing but, for ALL other Americans getting intoxicated on anything is unforgivable and is just a crutch. billybob has zero credibility

A few days ago, Laura Ingraham played a tape of Robert Reich, followed by a clip from the Munchkins of The Wizard of Oz, followed by Randy Newman singing Short People.

These people are all class- when they aren't busy being totally juvenile morons reliving their days on the playground.  Big, stupid children who make their living sneering at people who disagree with them.  

Except for the mere fact that Helen Thomas has done more reporting and journalism in her lifetime, than O'Reilly could ever hope to do. Bill old boy, maybe you should take some notes from her, and learn how to be a real journalist.

Why do a-holes like O'Reilly call out Thomas? Is it because she dared to actually question republicans? Thomas was a groundbreaker, and in a mostly male press corps, she's still on top of her game, and is probably the most respected Washington correspondent ever.

and that is not even a creative put down. Gazooks, put some effort into it billy. For instance, if Mrs. Thomas is a witch then orilee is the bully from back to the future, he he.

anyone, even a gracious old woman that billo could not hold a candle to face to face, is fair game for his bully boy pathetic rant. What a sever lack of basic manners.

Young $%#@& whippersnapper! Lad needs a spanking and to get his mouth washed out with soap! For years Helen Thomas had more sheer, raw courage in her little pinky than the whole press corps had in their glamorous built-up or slimmed-down bodies.

hip-hip hooray for the death of the fairness doctrine ...

Stay classy, FoxNews, you sure are the darlings of the media world.

Yuk!

It's ironic that O'Reilly uses a "Wizard of Oz" metaphor in reference to Helen Thomas, because you can find all of the major players on FOX News:

Glenn Beck is obviously the Scarecrow, since we've all seen how brainless he is.

Sean Hannity is no doubt the Tin Woodsman--can't get much more heartless than that guy.

O'Reilly not only acts like the Cowardly Lion, but he looks the part as well.

Ann Coulter makes a guest appearance as the Wicked Witch of the West.

The clowns on Fox and Friends are a perfect fit as the Flying Monkeys.

And of course, none other than Rupert Murdoch as "the man behind the curtain", aka the Wizard of Odd.

Rachel Maddow can play Dorothy, who accidentally stumbles upon this strange, perverse land at Fox News and seeks help returning to the relative sanity of MSNBC.

I found O'Reilly's comment to be racist since the phrase is 'Wicked Witch of the West'. Thomas is a Lebanese (Christian).
