It's indicative how deep the RAT mindset has infested America.... "Gasp! He actually told that woman he thought she'd look nice in a bikini! Fire him!"
Uh, huh. It's just part of the overall RAT masterplan to de-sexualize American males. Hey... if Bill asks Lis for a lap dance on-air, maybe I'll be offended - but to get wound up over a few compliments (and maybe some mild flirting), particularly if the recipient doesn't CARE seems like a particular waste of energy to me.
Would you like O'Reilly saying such a thing to a wife, girlfriend, colleague, sister, mother of yours? It's not a sign of health to make continual references to how someone would look mostly naked--I think it's weird and darned rude.
Bill might want to be on his best on-air behavior after being sued by his producer.

I'll second that motion! Good grief! When did admiring a member of the opposite sex become illegal? The fact that he would say this on his show, in my opinion, shows that it is innocuous.
