Bill O’Reilly Loses His Cool [Updated]

Update, May 13, 2008: The original video got yanked, but I’ve posted another copy in its place.

Here’s a great video that’s making the internet rounds: right-wing attack dog Bill O’Reilly, losing his cool and turning into an eight-year-old upon encountering the phrase “play us out”, a term that anyone who’s been in a TV studio at least a couple of times has encountered. Be warned, he bursts into a potty-mouthed temper tantrum and lets fly with the f-word:

This is from his days on the television news tabloid program Inside Edition, which he hosted from 1989 to 1995. I remember thinking that Inside Edition was about as trashy as television got, but that was well before The O’Reilly Factor.
