Video: The Education of Bill O’Reilly

On the Mondays with Michelle and Kirsten segment, Papa Bear learned two useful new words tonight. The first: “trolls.” The second: “nutroots.” The issues were Michael Moore’s trolling for movie-going foot traffic by attacking CNN, and John Edwards’ absurd lurch to the hard left on a poverty theme, delivered from the vast porch of his 30,000 square foot house.
Guess who did the schoolin’.

I’m kinda new to blogging so I learned a little bit too :-) MM was awesome! Yes, sometime trolls do look like Michael Moore. Too funny! Notice how Bill is noticing the conservative conversion of KP!
Ordinary1 on July 16, 2007 at 9:55 PM
Since Michelle and Kirsten both have blogs, I was really hoping Bill would have had Michelle and Kirsten comment on his opening segment tonight about JetBlue hosting the KOS mash. As usual, Bill sent his intrepid producer out to question the CEO of JetBlue about comments routinely found on KOS. It was pretty funny.
thedecider on July 16, 2007 at 9:58 PM
MM is just awesome.
TheSitRep on July 16, 2007 at 10:01 PM
It is such a shame that all those brains are wasted on such a gorgeous woman. (Or is it the other way around?… Gorgeous wasted on a brainy woman.
It is just a shame that Michelle got so much of both when hundreds of millions of others get only one, and more hundreds of millions more get neither.
Was a little disappointed that Geraldo wasn’t there to get ‘taken to school’.
LegendHasIt on July 16, 2007 at 10:03 PM
More Michelle, more KP, less B.O.,, MM is always a delight to watch..
Legions on July 16, 2007 at 10:05 PM
I lost track of time and missed this tonight and I really wanted to see it, especially the KOS segment. (Darn you Lord of the Rings Online!)
Keli on July 16, 2007 at 10:07 PM
MM as always outstanding. KP a close second. But OReilly calling MM (admittedly jokingly) a fascist? Remember fascist=nazi (national socialist party)=socialist=communist=liberal. None of those terms describe MM
drriclaw on July 16, 2007 at 10:07 PM
I learned something today:
O’Reilly is a troll.
Kirsten is a Communist.
Michelle is a Fascist.
All’s right with the world.
infidel4life on July 16, 2007 at 10:07 PM
What you said!
Spirit of 1776 on July 16, 2007 at 10:12 PM
I’m disappointed (though I correctly predicted) that there wasn’t time for her to blast FNC for continuing to ask “was the recently released UBL vidoe ‘new’?”, and there wasn’t time for her to tear Geraldo a new one. I hope there is another segment coming this week.
That said, did Bill take the ladies for cocktails before the show? Everyone seemed more giggly and jokey than usual, especially MM. Michelle was making all kinds of goofy faces and was a lot less in “serious mode” tonight.
RightWinged on July 16, 2007 at 10:16 PM
I got a chuckle out of his house with it’s 200′+ long corridor to connect to the barn. ‘Mustn’t go out side … it might rain … my hair will get frizzy.’
Dusty on July 16, 2007 at 10:21 PM
Now I know why Oreilly’s Factor ratings are so high.
It ain’t all Bill.
Kini on July 16, 2007 at 10:25 PM
RightWinged on July 16, 2007 at 10:16 PM
Heh heh I think he must have, I also noticed that Bill was having more pronunciation problems than usual, and yes Michelle made some damn funny faces, especially after saying that “yes troll sometimes do look like Michael Moore”.
doriangrey on July 16, 2007 at 10:26 PM
Michelle ought to steer clear of the Loofah Leprechaun. She should maybe concentrate on CNN Headline News for her own show. I’d put her on following Glenn Beck and move Nancy Grace to FNC along side Greta.
MrC_5150 on July 16, 2007 at 10:27 PM
You guys realize that Michelle is on satellite hook-up there, right? She’s not in New York.
Allahpundit on July 16, 2007 at 10:27 PM
M.M. rules, period. It is only a matter of time before Roger Ales (sp?) of FOX figures out where to place her and she will have a huge, prime time show, of her own. She has more brains in her little finger than over half the idiots on MSNBC and like I said….it’s only a matter of time!
NEMETI IN SYRACUSE on July 16, 2007 at 10:29 PM
AP, I think KP is almost there. She actually didn’t think the gov’ment was efficient.
There’s hope for you yet.
BacaDog on July 16, 2007 at 10:30 PM
Allahpundit on July 16, 2007 at 10:27 PM
Meh, your spoiling a good punchline AP. They were all acting pretty goofy.
doriangrey on July 16, 2007 at 10:32 PM
Allahpundit,
Sir, it matters not where she is, all that matters is that we get to hear her. Thank the Lord for modern tech!
NEMETI IN SYRACUSE on July 16, 2007 at 10:32 PM
Yes, Allah, Bill always states that Michelle is in Washington when she is on with him and Kirsten.
Tonight’s segment was fun to watch. Perhaps Bill did take the ladies out for cocktails before the program (hey, Bill, I’ll take some Midnight Express, please, thanks!)
My ex-boss is from Canada. He is as left as they come (Green Party, Michael Moore has a point, Bush lied, etc.,) and while he does favor a socialized medicine program, he did state to me that he would rather get treatment in America than in Canada, not because the doctors in Canada are bad, but because of the length of time you need to wait for treatment, the scheduled priorities, the time alotted for a doctor, etc.
The False Dervish on July 16, 2007 at 10:35 PM
NEMETI IN SYRACUSE on July 16, 2007 at 10:29 PM
yea, but see, thats the problem, short of FoxNews which MSM would dare put a conservative with her looks and BRAINS on? She would eat those other brain dead talking heads fools lunch and laugh at them as they sat their looking stupid.
doriangrey on July 16, 2007 at 10:36 PM
doriangrey on July 16, 2007 at 10:36 PM
Doh…their=there
doriangrey on July 16, 2007 at 10:38 PM
“There’s a rule in the Blogosphere: ‘Don’t feed the trolls’”.
Especially THAT one, he’ll eat you outta house and home. Just like F-9/11, Sicko is being torn to bits by the left leaning media, what’s THAT tell ya, Mikey?
Tony737 on July 16, 2007 at 10:39 PM
What!? I thought he just kept her in the separate “Fascist Room”?
Seriously though, what doriangrey said:
While I’m not sure I’d elevate my comment about them going for cocktails to the status of a “good punchline”, dorian pretty much gets me. Anyway, I know she’s in DC, but everyone seemed a little goofy tonight… Not that they didn’t cover the issues to the degree they should have or anything, but there were just noticeably more goofy faces, etc. especially from Michelle.
RightWinged on July 16, 2007 at 10:55 PM
Michael Moore brings out the goofy, maybe thats it. I know I get very expressive and make goofy faces when I see him.
Keli on July 16, 2007 at 10:59 PM
Whatever. The point is…damn. I’m sayin’ DAMN! What a dolly.
Jaibones on July 16, 2007 at 11:05 PM
Which MM?? Oh no… not Michael Moore I hope! Hopefully not the Mainstream Media! Oh… Michelle Malkin. Yeah.. she is great.
zerodamage on July 16, 2007 at 11:08 PM
If anyone is interested in telling JetBlue your thoughts about their sponsorship of the DailyKO’s convention,
Drop them a line here.
BacaDog on July 16, 2007 at 11:17 PM
Bill is getting quite an education as of late. It was only a few months ago that he said he didn’t do the Internet thing. He’s not quite there yet, but he’s getting the hang of it. I actually enjoyed the heck right out of his show tonight.
Connie on July 16, 2007 at 11:17 PM
Darn it….did it as a link.
Here’s the email address…..corporatecommunications@jetblue.com

Nooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!111
Connie on July 16, 2007 at 11:19 PM
lol! The 3 “ones” were a mistake – not a curse.
Connie on July 16, 2007 at 11:20 PM
Boy, right around the 1:43 mark, the Edwards were looking like the Widettes. He was waddling, I tell you, waddling! Later, he didn’t look so bad. Oooh, John. Time to kick some camera-man a**. You didn’t pay $400 for that haircut just to end up looking like you have a 38 inch waist! (Which I have, by the way, but then I’m not running for office–Mister Gore.)
smellthecoffee on July 16, 2007 at 11:27 PM
Bill is such a newb

I believe “teh” term you’re looking for is N00B
RightWinged on July 16, 2007 at 11:40 PM
Kirsten is almost there. All she must do now is to learn to construct her own light saber…
Blacklake on July 16, 2007 at 11:49 PM
I just wet myself – bwaaahaaaa
On-my-soap-box on July 16, 2007 at 11:56 PM
I believe “teh” term you’re looking for is N00B
the term is n00b (with zeros instead of “o’s”.
chow on July 17, 2007 at 12:02 AM
Why does Bill put idiots like this on? he also puts people from CAIR on he is starting to look like a fool.
pjf626 on July 17, 2007 at 12:20 AM
MM should have said that Edwards got pwned.
;)
whatthecrap on July 17, 2007 at 12:32 AM
Bill would probably get into a lot of “flamewars” if he knew how to turn on a computer.
Is Bill really computer illiterate like Larry King?
Zach on July 17, 2007 at 12:35 AM
Awesome job Michelle.
WB Bryan.
BillO’ seems to learn something new every time MM is on.
PowWow on July 17, 2007 at 12:49 AM
Damn she’s gorgeous!
Who was that guy to the left of the screen?
(And why does John Edwards walk like he’s wearing Depends?)
profitsbeard on July 17, 2007 at 1:07 AM
So let’s get this straight KP, only rich people can shed light on poverty. Riiiight.
Mojave Mark on July 17, 2007 at 1:17 AM

I think this is how to make an email link

OK, so that wasn’t it.

I’m glad you post these segments here. I refuse to watch BOR because I don’t want to ruin my new TV. I just wish MM would get her own show so I could have a reason to watch something other than Red Eye on FNC.
TBinSTL on July 17, 2007 at 3:43 AM
Another great appearance by Michelle. Prepared, relaxed, ready to go. Thanks.
…and how about that woman in the Acorn tee shirt walking with Silky Pony? I thought Acorn was disgraced in a ballot box packing scandal? Maybe Silky is trying to get first divs on the blank ballots.
Zorro on July 17, 2007 at 7:03 AM
MM will always have my deepest respect. Yes, she needs her own show. Maybe a 2 hour slot just to get started.
BobK on July 17, 2007 at 7:26 AM
Thanks MattSkosh. Good little tidbit to know.
BacaDog on July 17, 2007 at 7:29 AM
Somebody should point out that “troll” is actually a pun. Yes the punny part is the Norweigan monsters that hide under bridges, but the term itself comes from casting bait from a slow moving boat to get fish to bite.
Trolls cast their provocative bait into blog threads to get attention “bites” so they can play the “fish”.
boris on July 17, 2007 at 8:18 AM
I think I know what a lot of us guys here are fantasizing about…
Michelle…
Kirsten…
Just the two of them…
What? I was talking about another Hannity and Colmes format show to take BO’s time slot!
MadisonConservative on July 17, 2007 at 8:19 AM
MM’s comments were sharp, humorous and incisive, but I was constantly distracted by her shoulders…
zb42 on July 17, 2007 at 8:42 AM
Mmmm…shoulders
Jaibones on July 17, 2007 at 9:00 AM
MadisonConservative on July 17, 2007 at 8:19 AM
**Cough Cough**er**Ahem…My thoughts exactly…However since perhaps my favorite segment of B.O. is the viewer e-mail they would need tro do a viewer e-mail segment on their show.
doriangrey on July 17, 2007 at 9:15 AM
As a diminutive Norwegian currently employed at a ski resort, I deeply resent Mr. Reilly’s insinuations.
saint kansas on July 17, 2007 at 9:21 AM
Every time I see MM on with KP, KP seems to get pulled a little further to the “dark side”. With her own show just imagine what MM could do with any lefty who happened to tune in.
Kowboy on July 17, 2007 at 9:33 AM
Easy there, he can’t be expected to know that it’s spelled ‘Trolle’ with the little slashy-thing through the ‘o.’
James on July 17, 2007 at 9:42 AM
A Michelle/Kirsten tag-team in a Hannity & Colmes type format is something I’ve been
fantasizinghoping for for a long time. Not as “another” H&C, but to replace the current duo.Bill had better watch out for his job security. If Michelle really wanted it, she could probably take his job with little effort. Consider:
1. Michelle has more of a cross-media feel for news and events than he does. Columns, books, blogs, and now television. Bill wondering who the “nutroots” are is really out of touch in the Internet Era.
2. Michelle sharp, witty, and intellectually quick on her feet. She can charm the hell out of you with a demure smile or disarm you with her laughter, but you should never underestimate her or needlessly provoke her. Bill too often comes across simply as a blowhard.
3. Michelle would be a tremendous ratings draw. Her
worshippersdevotees have been hungering for her to get a program of her own, and FOX would be the logical place.4. And does it need any further mention that she’s oh-so-easy on the eyes?
If not Bill’s show; if not her and Kirsten supplanting Hannity & Colmes; then Greta Van Susteren, the bell tolls for thee….
Spurius Ligustinus on July 17, 2007 at 9:48 AM
It is pretty crazy that a fat slob like Michael Moore is carping about healthcare. He needs to get a handle on his eating actions before he can complain about health issues.
A true ignorant commie.
saiga on July 17, 2007 at 9:49 AM
I love to hear about the blogasphere on TV shows… That’s good publicity for us and more nails in the coffins of the news networks, other than FNC of course. This stuff is getting addictive… As if watching MM isn’t as habit-forming an activity as there could possibly be. ;) I
Rugged Individual on July 17, 2007 at 10:29 AM
That’s what I thought was meant by trolling as well.
There’s no way Bill could not know the term nutroots, I’m quite sure I’ve heard Michelle use it with him before… maybe he’s trying to educate his audience.
I was struck at the size of silky’s barn!! But of course all the real silky ponies must have digs nicer than what most people have!
4shoes on July 17, 2007 at 10:53 AM
Edwards brings a new level to the word hypocrisy. The global warming cult is reminiscent of the medieval Catholic church with the buying of “indulgences.” People like Edwards live in the sin of excess but simply buy “carbon offsets” to make everything okay.
I’m getting a laugh out of the latest bottled water crisis. The “warmers” have decided that plastic bottles are “out.”
Mojave Mark on July 17, 2007 at 10:59 AM
:-)
You’re welcome.
MattSkosh on July 17, 2007 at 11:00 AM
This video is the empirical evidence behind Dean Barnett’s use of Pomp and Circumstance to intro Michelle on his show.
Enter Professor Malkin.
Well done, as always…
JDinSC on July 17, 2007 at 11:20 AM
NO, No… not to replace O’Reilly or H&C – replace Shep Smith with Malkin and Powers (not replace – bump back an hour or three)… imagine this sched for FauxNews:
6PM: Brit Hume’s All Stars
7PM: H & C (destroying MSNBC’s SoftBall once and for all)
8PM: O’Reilly
9PM: Malkin/Powers
10PM: Great Greta
11PM: Shep Smith’s Late News
… works pretty well for me…
JDinSC on July 17, 2007 at 11:25 AM
JDinSC on July 17, 2007 at 11:25 AM
Works for me as well…
doriangrey on July 17, 2007 at 11:56 AM
I liked this segment better than most. Bill usually talks down to the gals, but this time he shut up and let them educate us all.
csdeven on July 17, 2007 at 12:31 PM
No way! Trolls are Swedish! OK, I’m lying. The truth just hurts so much…
Seixon on July 17, 2007 at 2:27 PM
Refering to Moore as a “Troll” is brillent. Once Mrs. Malkin said that, everything about his actions clicked in place.
LordDaMan on July 17, 2007 at 2:43 PM
Growing up in Michigan’s Lower Penisula, technically Micahel Moore is a troll. All those in the UP are yoopers and those of us in the Lower Penisula are trolls because we live under the (Mackinac) bridge.
