O'Reilly says Clinton interview is 'toughest she's ever done'
On "The Radio Factor" today, Bill O'Reilly gave a sneak preview of his interview with Hillary Clinton, which will air tonight and Thursday on Fox's "The O'Reilly Factor." (via Johnny Dollar)
"This is, without a doubt, the toughest interview she's ever done," O'Reilly said today on the air.
O'Reilly asks Clinton about why Obama is more popular as a person than her, gas prices, foreign policy, and has the "biggest shootout" over "sanctuary cities."
And of course, Rev. Wright.
O'REILLY: Can you believe this Reverend Wright guy? Can you believe this guy? What do you think?
CLINTON: Well, you know. Well, I'm going to leave it up to voters to decide.
O'REILLY: No, but what do you think as an American? You're an American.
CLINTON: Well, what I said when I was asked directly is that I would not have stayed in that church.
O'Reilly: No, no, no. You're an American citizen. I'm an American citizen. He's an American citizen, Reverend Wright. What do you think when you hear a fellow American citizen say that stuff about America? What do you think?
CLINTON: Well, I take offense at it. I think it's offensive and outrageous.

Considering the soft balls tossed her way over the last 16 years, exactly how tough does it have to be to be the “toughest”?

Why would BOR call the Clinton interview his toughest one?
I always found that, when interviewing someone, the bigger they were, the easier the interview because you knew just what to ask them.
Try that with the chairman of the zoning board of appeals. Now THAT’S a tough interview!

Exactly my impression. She tried not to insult her opponent, but Bill really pinned her down, wouldn't let he weasel out of it and made her say that Obama's people were offensive.
Way to go!
To: Sub-Driver
I wonder if he discussed falafels or loofahs with her . It is worth about 10 million if he does .

To: mgc1122
O’Reilly BETTER do a better job than the above example. Wright should be the least interest getting her in that chair.
He should ask her about specifics how she’ll fix what she thinks are problems and not what she thinks about stinking WRIGHT!

I assume BOR is desperately trying to boost ratings and this is his way of pumping them up. At the end of this interview, my guess is BOR will be close to endorsing her — that’s his way of “standing up for the common folk out there.” As troubling and difficult as it might be, I’ll probably tune in.

Will he ask about Juanita? I doubt it. Nor will he point out her pathological lying and inability to answer simple questions.
Interesting that at the Press Club, Rev. Wright sat next to and chatted with strong Hillary supporter Barbara Reynolds.

Tough? tough??? Geez, by the excerpt above it looks more like O’Reilly deliberately set up an easy fastball right down the pipe. How could anyone not hit a grand slam off of that one?

Bill told the Friends this morning that there will be no gotcha questions or talk of Whitewater, Monica, etc. He said he has a list of questions covering the campaign, and foreign and domestic policy...some were called in by his listeners on the radio. He will also ask the same list of questions to McCain appearing next week. I think it will be a love fest tonight. Bill also defended Obama this morning on Rev. Wright saying that Obama does not have the same views as that loon. (rolling eyes)

If he were interviewing a judge who freed a pedophile then he’d be tough. I expect very little from this interview. Like Joe Scarborough, he’ll probably apologize for ever saying a nasty thing about her.

"She tried not to insult her opponent, but Bill really pinned her down, wouldn't let he weasel out of it and made her say that Obama's people were offensive." Did he ask her about Peter Paul? Did he ask her what she thought about the United States becoming an intelligence smorgasbord for China during her husband's 8 years in office? Did he ask her what, if anything, she would do differently? White House fundraisers? Turning it into an automated donation whorehouse? Did he ask her about the US hemorrhaging jobs to China and India - another of her husband's projects? How about BOSNIA? Are these current issues? Yes, the Paul suit is still ongoing, and she cites her years as co-president with Bill as the "experience" that qualifies her as CnC.

Will he bring up amnesty and the fact that Hillary voted against the Cronyn amendment - she voted against barring terrorists from this country. Also, does she plan to kill any more Christian Serbs? Clintons did eliminate quite a few, mostly women and children.

I have to say that I have never in my life seen anyone with an ego larger that Bill O’Riley. According to his highness no one, noBODY, not a living human being is capable of conducting an interview as “tough” as his. No Spin Zone? Hell, the studio is a virtual pinwheel! Give me a break!

I bet his ratings are through the roof for this one.I will be watching the Yankee game on the YES cable network. My guess is in NYC the most watched show on cable will be the Yankees not the Bloviator interviewing the Witch on FNC. Call me an elitist snob but I prefer baseball to softball particularly when the softball is being played by two self-promoting blowhards,one of which would do or say anything for a ratings point and the other would do or say anything for a vote.

Whaddaya bet Hillary reserved the right to strike any material she wanted to have deleted? Remember, good editing would be able to hide any breaks in the tape, using the switching back and forth of different cameras and re-laying the audio.
