It’s difficult to believe Bill O’Reilly would have the audacity to call his memoir A Bold Fresh Piece of Humanity, but then again, this is the reactionary talking head who dared to talk family values while hassling a female producer with late night calls seeking phone sex. Yesterday, the Loofah Loving Marist/BU/Harvard alum made a thrilling appearance on The View, in which he accused Barack Obama of being a communist, much to the delight of fellow republican hothead Elisabeth Hasselbeck.

Perhaps the pinnacle of the O’Reilly on The View experience came when the tension between O’Reilly and Joy Behar culminated in O’Reilly referring to Behar as a “Kool Aid drinker,” to which she replied, “You drank the Kool Aid on George Bush for eight years, Bill.” Oh snap. Later Behar went on to “joke” about O’Reilly being the Devil, which seemed almost excessive until O’Reilly offended all of the ladies by implying that The View was merely entertainment as opposed to “important things going on.”

Still, O’Reilly wasn’t all ire and bile and contempt and rudeness. He did try to give Behar a bit of friendly advice at one point, telling her, “Your name is Joy! You should be joyful!” since there’s nothing worse than a misnomer. This button-pushing suggestion mostly inspired the ire and bile and contempt of Behar. It’s amazing how many people just one man can offend in the course of one viewing of The View.
