Class vs. Ass

Bill O'Reilly interviewed President Obama during the Super Bowl pregame show today. Apparently, his in-your-face, disrespectful interviewing style hasn't sat well with a lot of the Twitterati:

Apparently all it takes to host your own TV show is rudeness. #Orielly #FoxPregame

#Quoteoftheday #POTUS Bill.. Bill I KNOW Football Man!! #SayItwityahChest shut your b*tch ass up #Orielly

How can anyone be so disrespectful of a US president? It is time to black ball Bill O'Rielly. #ORielly #Obama

"I hope you think I'm fair because I try to be"? #ORielly? #Comeonman #lightningstrikecoming

Why does #Obama give this nut-job #orielly the time of day?

Bill O'Reilly interviews President Obama- O'Reilly once again makes himself look like an asshat. http://video.foxnews.com/v/4526781

The pre-game interview should have been titled "The Sage and the Fool!". Way to go @BarackObama :) @oreillyfactor #Obama

going back and watching that obama/o'reilly interview, o'reilly really displayed complete disdain, disrespect and contempt for the president

Will someone please explain why Pres. #Obama is giving an interview to a political org? Why is the @whitehouse legitimizing #Foxnews? #p2

Good question, that one. Only, Fox "News" isn't a political org, it's a propaganda org. There's a difference.

Just saw O'Reilly/Obama interview. O'Reilly is such an asshole. If someone interviewed Bush like that, O'Reilly would've had them shot.

I suspect Bill is going to get some blowback for this. The interview was for the couple of million Foxheads, of course, but it's now been seen by hundreds of millions. Did he not think he might come of as ridiculous? At least one Twitterer, however, was pleased with the interview:

Amen to that.
