Bill O'Reilly
Bill O'Reilly (also known as Billo, Bill oh really?, Billo the Clown, Bill Orally, Bill O'Lielly, and the Frank Burns of news) is a moderately right-wing (relative to Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh) blatherer commentator on Fox News where he presents The O’Reilly Factor. He is known to be a fan of middle eastern food, particularly falafel (perhaps because of the word's passing resemblance and alliterative relationship to a sex act). He is also notoriously bad at phone sex.[1][2]
He also leads (from the rear) his legions into battle every December against the vile secular progressives (despite his own sabotage to the cause), in the name of "Traditionalism" (his term).
“If you're an act, then what am I?”
~ Stephen Colbert to his guest O'Reilly on The Colbert Report

Bill O'Reilly phails at law

(@ 1:50+) Bill O'Reilly shows he doesn't understand that money and information are different things, that this is relevant when discussing the First Amendment, and that his lawyer colleague Megyn Kelly might actually know what she's talking about.

In a display of conservative values, in 2006 Bill O Reilly claimed that according to the "Paris Business Review" France lost "billions of dollars" due to a boycott (he sees himself as the cause of). Unfortunately this suffers from the slight problem that no such publication exists and was completely made up.[3] Further more, if someone had actually looked over the trade data from that period, the US French imports had actually increased.

O'Reilly disagrees vehemently with his co-host on The Radio Factor Lis Wiehl on some stuff about a Congressional hearing, then cuts off her mike and insults her while she can't respond. Classy guy, huh?
Bill O'Reilly simply phails

O'Reilly gets his ass kicked by a 16 year-old high school junior, who knows how to read transcripts, and calls him out. Epic.
