It will definitely be softball. Although not up to the level of Bill Moyers who should have been awarded a softball penant for his Obama interview.

Hillary on O'Reilly for a whole hour. Will this be more coddling and softball treatment?
He'll take flak and then say he was being fair and showing respect.
There will be no talk of Vince Foster, Billy Dale, Susan McDougall, FALN terrorist pardons, Chinese money laundering, etc..
Cat Fight!
He let’s the judges have it, because he doesn’t like them. But, Hillary will skate — I’ll be watching.
Four words: "Bill O'Reilly Monogrammed Kneepads."
BOR and Hillary Clinton for one hour?
I’d be happy if he just hit her on the Tuzla sniping claim: if she mis-spoke out of fatigue, how come she did so repeatedly over several appearances, and if fatigue from campaigning causes her to come up with whoppers like that, how is she going to handle the real job?
And finally, what is her relationship with Huma Abedin and why does she have a Saudi-raised muslim as her closest personal aide?
No.
O’R has become more and more needy to be accepted and he’s learned to skate even better to assure himself that he’s “got it”. I’m not sure I have the stomach to watch.
“Will O’Reilly play softball with Hillary tonight?”
Of course.
BOR likes to talk over his guests. If he never interrupts Hillary, it’s a full script. If he does, then it has some indicia of being a legit interview. Of course, he will be respectful and not go after her on many vulnerable issues. They will be very general soft toss batting practice questions.
I doubt I’ll watch; have a Bible study class, and have to do end of month invoices. And I just can’t stand Hillary’s “fingernails on chalkboard” voice.
More like something played with a beachball and a foam bat.
You can be sure that they at least have an agreement to keep the subject on issues in the primaries. There will be no Travel Gate, 900 FBI files, Who hired Livingstone, brothers getting rich selling pardons, etc.
He is always a sweet as pie to Dem party bigwigs because it's good for ratings to have them on his show and they won't come on if he isn't respectful
Remember, when she was ahead, she boycotted fox's debate. Now that she's broke and behind, she will take any free air time she can get. O'reilly should boycott all of them.
Ask her what size spatula she uses to put her makeup on..
oh he plays the tough guy like: “We’ll be staying on this case” etc...such a phony. We’ll have to hear the news cause we have other thngs to do than to watch either of these windbags.
There was an article a while back titled “The Angry White Man” in which her voice sounds to most men like “a shovel scaping aginast a rock.”
Hillary and softball . . . there’s a lesbo joke in there somewhere . . .
Since I have boycotted BOR since his blasphemous remarks on-air about FR and it’s founders, I will have to wait until tomorrow’s reports here to find out how this ‘interview’ goes!
Part of me is hoping BOR would do the right thing and throw ‘hardball’ questions Hillary’s way, but I doubt that will happen since he’s become a more egotistical version of Geraldo. More’s the pity.
Yeah, and if he does ask a pointed question, she will just cackle and not answer it. We will know if he is doing a good job by counting cackles
BOR: "So, Senator Clinton, are you a lesbian?"
HITLERY: "Oh Bill, HAHAHAH! HE! HAW! HAHA! HO! HO! HO! CACKLE!, If I went to Obama's church, I would have walked out!".
there is no way she would do this unless she had questions in advance
I don’t think Hillary has ever done an interview where the questions were not preapproved by her staff.
Ditto. Nowadays, there's always a baseball game on during his timeslot. I'll read about it tomorrow on FR. Maybe he'll get a slimy shot in on the Swift Boat Veterans while he's at it.
I'm hoping you are wrong, He said last night that "nothing was off the table"
I believe one of the major reasons in the past that she hasn't appeared is because she has demanded conditions such as you list, but hopefully Fox has stood it's ground and the mountain has come to Mohammed.
Nope. He might break something. He'll be using these for INDOOR USE.
Refco, Hillary’s cattle futures company, went bankrupt in 2005 in the largest such default in History (bigger than Enron!).
O’Reilly should ask her to explain that (as well as Refco being caught with half a Billion Dollars in forged bonds).
of course it will be a fluff piece. Don’t forget Oreiliy is just a tabloid TV reporter from “a current affair” the old scandal and celeb show.
This is no different than his made up dance controversy with roger moore.
I saw a part of an interview he had with some obama apologist the other day, and the guy came out and said that blacks can go off with racist rants because of slavery.
oreilly gave him a pass on it, basically said, “oh, ok then”
Bill told the Friends this morning that there will be no “gotcha” questions or talk of Whitewater, Monica, etc. He has a list of questions on the campaign, and foreign and domestic policy that were called in by his viewers of the Radio Factor. He will then ask other questions based on her answers. He will ask the same list of questions to McCain appearing next week. In other words, it will be a love fest tonight. ;)
When it comes to interviewing controversial, powerful people, Blowhard O’Reilly and Larry King are cut out of the same cloth.
Bill is a coward. He had her in an interview before and threw her softballs.
I concur with your assessment. Hope we’re wrong.
BTTT
He will fawn all over her and then tomorrow tell everyone how tough but fair he was.
Actually, BOR has alot in common with Hillary’s husband: both are perverted, sexual preditors. She should feel right at home.
We’ll see how he does with Hillary- but he just raised holy hell on Fox News with Shep about the CEO of GE doing business with Iran because they are killing our soldiers... and really took some hard shots at NBC news.
I don’t like Bill much- but I was cheering him on.
“Will O’Reilly play softball with Hillary tonight?”
Absolutely! I think he is mellowing as he ages, he is nothing like he used to be. Or maybe he is just changing with the times, political correctness and all.
oh he plays the tough guy
I’d say you hit that nail right on the head. I don’t know how to post photos or I would post one of a hammer hitting a nail on the head.
I don’t know how to either but...hitting the nail on the head is an old saying and so I can picture it anyway. :)
It’s a jabberfest.... is BOR down with OC? This footage will do nothing but help her.
These two both have such big egos they are talking over each other. They each think they should be the one doing all the talking.
I'm watching (Hillary has been around a long time!!), but both are BORing
Didn’t watch it.
I thought it looked like a role playing session where he was her coach and the goal was to help her be comfortable with spinning or ducking questions.
The interview seemed like a happy go lucky conversation like you might see at a garden party.
I'll make a popin to watch again tonight and see if 'O' can hold her to an answer once or twice.
Yeah, he would ask a “tough question” Like “Won’t your healthcare plan bankrupt the nation?” with a smile on his face and with a friendly tone, and then let her give a stump speech without rebutting anything she said.
I didn't watch the "All Love, All Spin Zone" but reading between the lines, I'd say she had to see and approve the questions beforehand.
Thanks for the update. I tried to watch the Bill and Hill Show but couldn’t handle it. Let me know if anything changes tonight!
Guess Dennis Miller ripped O for not going after her on some things. That’s what someone else told us too. By the way...did the bloviator call her clintin????????????
Her numbers are going to soar. He’s a Poppin Jay. The biggest megalomaniac on TV with tremendous insecurities. He is very sensitive with regard to being liked. He likes the power thing and thinks that he can swing elections. The interview was exactly how you described it.
