Bill O’Reilly Loses It

This video seems to be going up and down all over the Internet, so we’re posting it here to seed it as widely as possible: classic footage of Bill O’Reilly goes totally nuts it on the set of Inside Edition when a teleprompter malfunctions. Warning: F-bombs and full heads of hair.

You know what? I’m not sure the teleprompter is even actually malfunctioning, or if it is, it’s not what’s really upsetting to O’Reilly. What seems to be making him apoplectic–once he’s able to produce a sentence coherent enough to tell us–is the phrase “to play us out”, which he has not yet in his professional television career assimilated into his mental vocabulary, and whose existence, like the existence of anything he doesn’t understand, makes him violently angry.
