Bill O'Reilly Jealous?

Methinks Bill O'Reilly might be a wee bit threatened by much younger conservative star Glenn Beck getting big bucks for his Fox News show starting in January. Beck made his virgin appearance on O'Reilly's show Monday night. 6:50 in.

Beck: "I'm so tired of these politicians going after the other side. Take on your own party..."
O'Reilly: "Howard Dean does it all the time, does he not?
Beck: "Yeah."
O'Reilly: "That was a joke. Howard Dean never goes after his own party. I know you got a little wrapped up. I know it's your first appearance on the Factor." Beck: "This is what I was warned against." O'Reilly: "Congratulations for surviving CNN. Larry King was never mean to you, was he?"
Beck: "No, he was very nice."
O'Reilly: "Larry told me he didn't even know who you were."

Glenn is on O'Reilly show every Friday presumably to introduce him to the Fox News audience. At least he knows now what to expect.

I can take a hint, as General Custer once said.

So Bellalu, you did, too? He's jealous, I think, and trying to mark his turf.

Yeah, but Jim, Beck's got to deal with this guy's ego every Friday until he starts his own show in January.

O'Reilly deliberately set the bar for Beck's future appearances. I'm sure Beck was taken aback by O'Reilly's uncalled for remarks.

I was startled by Bill's comments.

Billo is a basket casket lately, Olbermann is catching him in the ratings In my opinion Billo is done, people are sick of his antics and are tuning him off (except for a little Jazz loving freak over at Johnny Dollars Place who has wet dreams about him) What did Oleily call his book "A Big Steaming Pile Of Dog Excrement) Take that one you jazz loving freak.
