Video: Michelle gets bleeped on O’Reilly

If nothing else good comes of this, at least it means I can now safely use the word “balls” on this blog.
Because let me tell you — I’ve been dying to.
Here’s the boss welcoming our new Democratic overlords and reacting to the prospect of Hillarycare, take two. E.M. thinks there’s nothing to fear:
Most people blame the 1994 turnover at least partly, if not mostly, on the universal health care plan that Hillary presented to the Congress in 1993. Voters may want a change in health care, but they’d be just as happy with tort reform, a patient’s bill of rights, and C-Span-covered drug manufacturer testimony. They don’t want the government dictating the quality of their health care any more than they want the HMO dictating the quality of their health care, and since most people have visited the Post Office and/or the DMV, chances are, they know the government option is not only slower and less competent, but far more likely to kill you up front and as questions later.
The Republican minority that helped defeat Hillarycare in ‘93 was hungry for power and committed to conservative principles, as the Contract With America would shortly prove. The Republican minority of ‘06 is exhausted, compromised, and all too comfortable with government bloat. If they’re the last line of defense against socialized medicine, then I dare say we should prepare ourselves for a heavy blow.
To the balls.
Update: Speaking of which.

Can’t view the video for some reason…but you are a funny guy AP – and you have balls!
Entelechy on November 13, 2006 at 10:06 PM
Video no worky.
Constantine on November 13, 2006 at 10:06 PM
Try it now. Momentary glitch.
Allahpundit on November 13, 2006 at 10:06 PM
Video hasn’t been uploaded yet. It’ll come.
Christoph on November 13, 2006 at 10:07 PM
LOL
Saw that segment on O’Reilly. Michelle never missed a beat.
Gumballs, I said! Gumballs!
BacaDog on November 13, 2006 at 10:11 PM
Video working now – thanks.
Entelechy on November 13, 2006 at 10:11 PM
A heavy blow to the balls. Funny on every level.
Scot on November 13, 2006 at 10:13 PM
I’m outraged.
Greg Tinti on November 13, 2006 at 10:14 PM
Gumballs.. priceless!!
RobertCSampson on November 13, 2006 at 10:15 PM
THAT WAS TIGHT!
Well done michelle
cursing is needed at certain points
Defector01 on November 13, 2006 at 10:16 PM
Sweet fire-balls of glory, man! I can’t believe Michelle had the balls to call out the democrats like that.
lorien1973 on November 13, 2006 at 10:17 PM
I refuse to make the obvious joke about “loving it when Michelle talks dirty.”
Oops.
Constantine on November 13, 2006 at 10:18 PM
My post from another Thread…
ar_basin on November 13, 2006 at 10:18 PM
Very funny. Bill and KP both played off it very well. When I first viewed it on the tele I laughed out loud. A good laugh for an otherwise droll Monday.
thedecider on November 13, 2006 at 10:22 PM
Pretty funny- you can hear KP laughing in the background. As for the balls- Michelle’s got ‘em. The rest have, well,…. gumballs. Little tiny gumballs.
Scotsman on November 13, 2006 at 10:25 PM
Parapraxis (Freudian slip) from Hillary Clinton; if not, sheer meanness and not presidential.
Kirsten Powers is so sane – just because the voters don’t like it “it didn’t stop them before the election, why would it stop them now?” – not an exact quote, possibly. Yeah, the h–l with the voters from the Left and the h–l with the voters from the Right. Gosh, how I yearn for a 3rd party, knowing full well that it hasn’t a chance in h–l.
Go ahead dems – reinstate habeas corpus for the terrorists and Liebs will seriously consider switching.
Thanksgiving for our beloved country.
Entelechy on November 13, 2006 at 10:26 PM
What a “Firecracker“!!!
Zorro on November 13, 2006 at 10:27 PM
Gumballs i tell ya….Gumballs….roflmBo….
Psycotte on November 13, 2006 at 10:27 PM
The idea of gumballs on a democrat will crash the gum industry. Sell your stock NOW!
Limerick on November 13, 2006 at 10:28 PM
Has to pass both houses and be signed. It’ll never happen.
lorien1973 on November 13, 2006 at 10:28 PM
Ha! I knew as soon as I heard the beep, AP would put (proudly) put the clip up on HotAir. Of course, as soon as I saw Michelle and KP were in a segment together, I knew AP would put the clip up anyway. Btw, I was watching Glenn Beck on Headline News just before this and he said “balls”, but there was no beep.
CP on November 13, 2006 at 10:30 PM
A Michelle/Balls Haiku (not dirty)
Just as michelle says,
The democrats have no balls
We are glad she does
:P
lorien1973 on November 13, 2006 at 10:30 PM
yeh thats it, gumballs..I hope the republicans left in DC grow some gumballs. As someone here stated once Nancy Pelosi has her strap on on so, their going to need them gumballs :)
ekuspa40 on November 13, 2006 at 10:32 PM
The balls comment was funny. I knew instantly when she got bleeped that you guys would post about it here.
Oh, and I swear I heard her said “Hitlery.”
CookeyD on November 13, 2006 at 10:32 PM
It could have been worse, she could have called the dems a bunch of pus…pusillanimous punks.
Donkeyhue on November 13, 2006 at 10:33 PM
KP is going to be shunned by the nutballs if she keeps thinking straight like she is. I’ll fight ya for her AP! Gumball vs. Gumball! ;-)
TwinkietheKid on November 13, 2006 at 10:35 PM
Love love love it!
As with Pres. Bush’s comments to Tony Blair, sometimes colorful language makes the truth come through more clearly.
(I also like people more and more when they display their human side.)
mikeyboss on November 13, 2006 at 10:38 PM
As in “spitballs” ;) (Thinking back to Zell Miller’s speech at the RNC a couple years back)
SisterToldjah on November 13, 2006 at 10:39 PM
I think it’s great when Michelle doesn’t “sugar coat” it! As for “Hillary(Doesn’t)Care,” I say: Bring it! The Democrats will be out of power faster than sh** through a goose.
SpartRan on November 13, 2006 at 10:39 PM
I believe that the majority has tilted to the Left’s favor – but temporarily. Given their own course the Left will do unto themselves as no one else can – and the weakness the Left brings to our nation will become all too apparent as time goes on.
What we who are on the right of Chamberlain Left can do is to keep our good manners, engage in clear thinking and rational discussion of the issues at hand, and provide an alternative for the next election that will come sooner than we may realize.
The Chamberlain Left’s advantage now may expose them for what they truly are – and provide the basis for a return to more rational and conservative policies in 2008.
omegaram on November 13, 2006 at 10:41 PM
Bravo that Michelle has the balls to say balls on national TV!
Would that Fox had the balls to NOT bleep it.
infidel4life on November 13, 2006 at 10:41 PM
That cements the deal; Malkin for RNC chair.
steveegg on November 13, 2006 at 10:42 PM
Does O’Reilly ever let his guests answer a question without interrupting them? That is one reason I do not watch his show.
Bellicose Muse on November 13, 2006 at 10:44 PM
The DhimmiCrats are just jealous because they know that Ronald Reagan ALWAYS had an ample supply of jellybeans, and now, 18 years later, they STILL don’t have any gumballs.
CyberCipher on November 13, 2006 at 10:46 PM
Why was that bleeped? First of all, if I’m not mistaken you can say anything on cable anyway, right? But even if you can’t, surely “balls” isn’t out of bounds. I think that’s probably allowed on broadcast channels, no? Any experts here?
Well, at least the Family Guy and the Simpsons on Fox broadcast are allowed to mock the military.
Actually, as I type that I’m reminded of a Family Guy episode in which the FCC came in an censored the family, as a result of Peter’s uncensored tv channel. (this montage preceded it)
Anyway, the head FCC guy is directing his minions to put black bars over offensive stuff, and one who is standing next to Peter asks the boss, “His chin looks like balls, should I cover that too?”
Now maybe that line was censored when it airred on Fox, I’m not sure, I’ve only seen that episode on Cartoon Network and TBS… but I’m just a little shocked that Fox would be so gay about this.
RightWinged on November 13, 2006 at 10:53 PM
Allah, I notice KP appears in this video. Did that have any effect on your … uh, glands?
Ali-Bubba on November 13, 2006 at 10:55 PM
I love a foul mouthed woman….
Mortis on November 13, 2006 at 10:55 PM
Michelle, you have balls… I like balls.
CliffHanger on November 13, 2006 at 11:01 PM
I’d give anything to hear Michelle in the middle of an out-of-control, uncensored rant! She shows so much restraint during her interviews on FOX. Way to go, Michelle!!!
Joshua P. Allem on November 13, 2006 at 11:04 PM
I get it all the time, buddy. All. the. time.
Allahpundit on November 13, 2006 at 11:06 PM
Yeeeeha ! Michelle that was forcful and eloquent ! You almost knocked O’Reilly off his chair. When you get fired up your dynamite with a laser beam !! Gumballs…. Haaaa .. I love it !!
Maxx on November 13, 2006 at 11:07 PM
I get it all the time, buddy. All. the. time.
And I’ll bet you enjoy more than half of it ;-)
steveegg on November 13, 2006 at 11:11 PM
Michelle: “Balls”
O’Reilly: “Whoah, such language from such a pristine girl.”
/end Breakfast Club reference
Anyway, here I was hoping she was talking about the Republicans having the balls to pick crooks and open borders folks for their leadership positions. Color me disappointed.
Benaiah on November 13, 2006 at 11:12 PM
That blockquote nesting didn’t quite work as planned.
steveegg on November 13, 2006 at 11:12 PM
What can I say? Since Rick Santorum lost. I have not heard a forceful debate. Michelle reminds me of my roots. I will be at peace with you unless you decide to challenge me. Keywords like hillarycare impresses me.
Al Sharpton for President.
Ouabam on November 13, 2006 at 11:15 PM
From this day forward, in the HotAir Lexicon:
Gumballs: An abundance of testicular fortitude.
Thanks for the laugh Michelle – Lord knows we need something to smile about right now.
thirteen28 on November 13, 2006 at 11:16 PM
We are so going to get you to wear a wire someday …
thirteen28 on November 13, 2006 at 11:18 PM
Benaiah – I don’t pick the topics. O’Reilly does. Believe me, I would have loved to have ripped the Beltway GOP eunuchs 10 times as hard.
Michelle on November 13, 2006 at 11:19 PM
Excellent segment, Michelle!
Remind me never to get you made at me.
Jack.
Jack Deth on November 13, 2006 at 11:19 PM
I don’t mean to whine about not getting any replies to my previous comment, just really curious, anyone know anything about the legalities of what I asked earlier? Mainly, wouldn’t “balls” be allowed even on network TV? (but see previous comment for further elaboration)
RightWinged on November 13, 2006 at 11:23 PM
I think you just blew your “gumballs” defense ;)
mikeyboss on November 13, 2006 at 11:25 PM
Tell us how you really feel ;-)
steveegg on November 13, 2006 at 11:27 PM
I live in California. I got into an argument about illegal immigration with someone. The person reminded me that California belongs to Mexico in the first place. My reply was a huge fit of laughter. Well, what can we do? We have b*t*hes representing us in congress.
Al Sharpton for President.
Give a Muslim a Bible. It might save a life
Give a b*t*h a burka. We can cure infedility
Ouabam on November 13, 2006 at 11:33 PM
That sums it up, nicely. I think I’ll start using that phrase.
Joshua P. Allem on November 13, 2006 at 11:35 PM
I’d give anything to hear Michelle in the middle of an out-of-control, uncensored rant!
I get it all the time, buddy. All. the. time.
Allahpundit on November 13, 2006 at 11:06 PM
You can tell us some of the good stuff Allahpundit – we are her fans! Now that you have so many people’s undying interest perhaps you will share some of the good stuff!
omegaram on November 13, 2006 at 11:38 PM
You keep sitting on fences Michelle, tell us how you really feel….
EricPWJohnson on November 13, 2006 at 11:40 PM
I’m wondering if Odormann will make some juvenile hay out of this on his “show”.
If he does, let us know, for I don’t watch it myself.
kevcad on November 13, 2006 at 11:48 PM
Michelle once called someone a ‘pink panty wearing liberal, IIRC.’ That was pretty good, too.
Jonathon on November 13, 2006 at 11:48 PM
Uh, I don’t remember that.
Michelle on November 13, 2006 at 11:50 PM
You’re starting to scare me, Ouabam.
thedecider on November 13, 2006 at 11:56 PM
Yes, but you have the talent and the balls to take it! And, oh, can you give it too!
Entelechy on November 13, 2006 at 11:56 PM
After last week I feel like I was kicked in the “Balls”!!
Troy Rasmussen on November 13, 2006 at 11:56 PM
It’s not so much the profanity as those wire-hanger beatings I get if the traffic falls below 100K.
I AM NOT AN ANIMAL.
Allahpundit on November 13, 2006 at 11:57 PM
Now you’ve gone and done it, Allahpundit. You’ve given all us Photoshop geeks something to work on.
Joshua P. Allem on November 14, 2006 at 12:02 AM
If a dog gets beaten often, he becomes Pavlovian.
Yes, you are an animal. An. adorable. one. With. balls.
Entelechy on November 14, 2006 at 12:03 AM
You’re making working at Hot Air sound more and more fun by the hour ;-)
Nonetheless, I shall endeavor to do my part to spare you the beatings.
steveegg on November 14, 2006 at 12:04 AM
I love it when Michelle doesn’t “sugar coat” it – way to tell it like it is!
SpartRan on November 14, 2006 at 12:05 AM
ABSOLUTELY FLAMING VERY GOOD, MICHELLE! AND AS USUAL, YOU ARE POINT BLANK AND CLEAR! GLAD YOU SAID IT!
Let’s face it, there is no other way to describe the situaion. And the Beltway GOP eunuchs ARE political eunuchs! Hell, they don’t even HAVE gumballs!
Finally, glad to hear you use the word “balls” Michelle, not just because you look sexy doing so, but it demonstrates that just because you are conservative woman and a champion of civility, you ARE NOT some prude, or priggish person. Your discussion and pro-stance with Bill O’Reilly about public breast feeding (as I remember that segment)also demonstrates this.
You are a warm, down-to-earth natural woman and you should display that side of you a bit more. We already know how passionate you can be.
BTW-How is it possible for them to bleep you during a live segment? It is not pre-recorded so that editing can be done before broadcast. So, how can they know when to bleep you if they dont know what you are about to say?
The False Dervish on November 14, 2006 at 12:06 AM
I told her yesterday, “If I don’t get some vacation soon, I walk.”
She said, “You don’t have the balls.”
It’s true, I don’t.
Allahpundit on November 14, 2006 at 12:08 AM
Two words dude: Hidden microphone.
:-P
infidel4life on November 14, 2006 at 12:13 AM
Why do I all of a sudden want to play AC/DC’s “Big Balls”?
Dervish – I’d suspect that they’re running stuff like O’Reilly on a delay much like a radio show.
steveegg on November 14, 2006 at 12:15 AM
Live broadcasts are delayed a few seconds while someone in real time stands over a bleep button just in case it’s needed.
Joshua P. Allem on November 14, 2006 at 12:15 AM
“Beltway GOP eunuchs,” as in the Martinez-for-RNC eunuchs?
Ali-Bubba on November 14, 2006 at 12:18 AM
Here we go with the (lack of) balls again!
infidel4life on November 14, 2006 at 12:18 AM
Thank you Michelle for saying it like it needs to be said. I am very glad you’re fighting the good fight. I almost feel pity for the liberals that are foolish enough to stand against you.
Yakko77 on November 14, 2006 at 12:18 AM
Two words: Britney videos.
Ali-Bubba on November 14, 2006 at 12:19 AM
By the way, Michelle was in the middle of an excellent point when she got bleeped. The Dems have spent the last 40 years gaining power from voters with their hand out! Since then, these programs have shown themselves to be a huge failure while costing us millions. Have the Democrats done anything about it? Have they even been willing to suggest doing something about it? NOPE! Unless you call raising taxes doing something…I guess they would call it doing something.
Joshua P. Allem on November 14, 2006 at 12:20 AM
Oh. Forgot. The Boss hates Britney.
I take it back. Please don’t ban me.
Ali-Bubba on November 14, 2006 at 12:21 AM
Yes RightWinged. I have heard “balls” used on network TV, and in the context of ‘not having any’.
thedecider on November 14, 2006 at 12:23 AM
And the answer is: NO! In fact, it took the GOP to reduce the number of people on the welfare rolls. The Dems screamed about it then, but funny you don’t hear them complaining so much now.
thedecider on November 14, 2006 at 12:25 AM
I am sure Michelle meant to say something like “nuts to you O’Reilly” and instead she slipped.
Way to go Michelle not very many people would tell it correctly the first time.
F15Mech on November 14, 2006 at 12:25 AM
I’m sure we’ll be seeing a lot more of Michelle’s “passionate” side over the next two years.
If there were ever an argument for cloning, Michelle would be it. I’ll take two, please.
Hack Ptui on November 14, 2006 at 12:27 AM
Hack – Definitely would be better and more successful than the “softer” side of Sears.
As for cloning, my fear is that we’d lose the uniqueness of Michelle with the many Malkin clones that we’d demand. Ah, what the heck.
steveegg on November 14, 2006 at 12:34 AM
Allahpundit – sounds Kinky! Wire hangars, no time off, slaving away in the dungeon – beating, whipping, but I hope you don’t have to write bad checks …..
Still, maybe she has gone to bed and won’t notice if you share some, just a little of the secret stash good stuff with us!
We want our MMTV!
omegaram on November 14, 2006 at 12:34 AM
Michele: Every man’s ideal of an intelligent, sexy woman.
pocomoco on November 14, 2006 at 12:38 AM
…KP being the voice of reason…of realpolitik…and MM tap-dancing like Astaire…a full, satisfying evening….
…a fine display of
ballsguts….Puritan1648 on November 14, 2006 at 12:43 AM
People who never “curse” (get the bleep) in public come across to me as nothing but drones following a script. People who do it sometimes (and get bleeped) gain some measure of respect from me unless it’s nothing but (bleep).
Does “cursing” get your point across? Intellectually, no. In the real world, yes (we all do it and understand the emotion behind it). I’d hazard a guess that almost nobody ever curses.
Michelle saying that ANY politician (dem/repub/green/ind) has “no balls” gets a thumbs up from me because it is true. Crude, yes. True, yes. I’m so sick of this PC world America lives in while the rest of the world laughs.
I have no problem with being viewed as the “crudest culture on earth.” Look what it has built us over 231 years.
American_Jihadist on November 14, 2006 at 12:46 AM
Why, indeed?

The Monster on November 14, 2006 at 12:50 AM
Thanks for confirming that for me thedecider, I was pretty sure I’d heard that and worse on network TV. And by the way, didn’t O’Reilly call Boortz a “vicious son of a bitch” one time?
And I saw someone ask about bleeping live TV… You’ll notice that the flag logo (suck it Ted Turner) in the upper right that has words changing back and forth from “Fox” to “News”, will include the word “Live” in the rotation when it’s a live program. This does not happen on O’Reilly, unless there is a special reason that the show is live. You’ll notice that H&C and I think Greta both are live, as are Fox & Friends and most of the programing throughout the day. I don’t know if O’Reilly is tape delay, or taped an hour earlier or what, Michelle could probably tell you that, but just wanted to say it’s definitely not live.
Did you watch the same Seinfeld episode I did today that got that line in your head? (though I know it’s not the original source of the line)
And for whoever suggested AP’s comments were photoshop inspiration… how? No one knows what AP looks like.
RightWinged on November 14, 2006 at 12:50 AM
…the day’s fast approaching when all of the political thinkers I read or listen to, left or right, will be women.
That’s a sad commentary on the willingness of those calling themselves men in conservatism when the ladies have all the *BALLS*…there…I said it…I’m in good company….
The men of conservatism are an insipid, metrosexual bunch…except for Rush…and Uncle Ted….
MM…Laura Ingraham…Tammy Bruce…Annie Coulter…and KP proving that you can be a liberal and not be an ideologue….
It’s a good time to be a conservative.
Puritan1648 on November 14, 2006 at 12:55 AM
Yes, it was the Elephant Man. However, Love. Seinfeld. Miss it much although the reruns still make me laugh.
thedecider on November 14, 2006 at 1:01 AM
Michelle, you go, girlfriend!
Puritan, we Conservative ladies are a pretty kick-*ss bunch, aren’t we?!
Jen the Neocon on November 14, 2006 at 1:10 AM
I saw that and almost couldn’t believe what I was hearing.
Pretty hilarious, actually.
The Ugly American on November 14, 2006 at 1:21 AM
Yeah, you’d think if Dems have been doing so much for the poor all this time that there’d be no more poor people.
Many in the Democratic Party really got it figured out. It’s simple, give people just enough to make them think you’re helping but not so much that they might be able to stand on thier own and not need you anymore.
Yakko77 on November 14, 2006 at 1:32 AM
Ballsy!
Oh, and I’d like to suggest an alternate metal anthem for this thread: Balls to the Wall by Accept (Also, if you’ve seen Spinal Tap, you’ll enjoy this video).
John on November 14, 2006 at 1:44 AM
Gumballs indeed.
Shy Guy on November 14, 2006 at 1:46 AM
I think Michelle cut right to the heart of the matter (and character).
I disagree with the following quote from above and Michelle’s point in the video:
“Most people blame the 1994 turnover at least partly, if not mostly, on the universal health care plan that Hillary presented to the Congress in 1993″
It was gun control (Brady Bill and the AW Ban) that became the 3rd rail in that election, and Clinton himself admitted it.
After the passage of the AW Ban and Brady, the NRA’s membership rolls swelled to well over 5 million paid members. The leadership of the Democratic Party was targeted as well as every member of the House and Senate (up for election) who voted for gun control, and about 90% (if memory serves) were kicked out, including the sitting SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE, Tom Foley, who was kicked out of office — the first time since the Civil War that a sitting Speaker, running for reelection, lost his district seat.
The “victims” of the rage of the “Angry White Men,” as the media called us, included the chairman of the committee that voted out Brady and supported it’s passage, who was considered a conservative democrat Texan, as I recall.
georgej on November 14, 2006 at 2:24 AM
If I were in your shoes, I wouldn’t, either, AP – nor would I walk. If I had the chance to work with someone as sharp as Michelle is, I think I’d play whatever hand I was dealt, and ask for seconds.
