Bill O’Reilly barely hid his frustration with former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) on Wednesday night after Palin slammed him as a “quasi-conservative” a day earlier.
The Fox host was responding to Palin’s suggestion on “Hannity” that O’Reilly was a “quasi-conservative” for not taking her seriously as a contender for 2016 in promos for an upcoming episode of “The O’Reilly Factor.”
“He names ’em off, he says, Donald Trump, Sarah Palin—oh, what a reality show that would be, yuck, yuck,” Palin complained.
“So here’s the deal,” O’Reilly said slowly, with a deep breath after rolling the clip. “In TV land, where I live, you tease upcoming segments with flamboyant descriptions, so people will sit through the 18 minutes of commercials and watch it.”
O’Reilly’s staff could be heard laughing in the background.
“Mrs. Palin and Donald Trump are very high profile folks,” he continued, “and both have starred in reality TV shows!”
With that, O’Reilly delivered his “Tip of the Day.”
“If no offense is intended, don’t take offense,” O’Reilly said with a snarl. “Your life will be happier.”

Was this the Here Comes Sarah Boo Boo Segment?
Sometimes when my cats go outside at night, they meet up with other neighborhood cats. Loud shrieking and howling ensues. Not sure why that thought popped into my head when reading this story.
Jesus, did somebody declare this National Un-Self Awareness Week?
if BillO had any common sense, he WOULD have offended her. “Madam, you’re an idiot and thoroughly unfit to lead the nation, let alone the conservative cause. You are an embarrassment. Go back to Alaska and read some of those periodicals you claim that you read, let us know when you’ve learned something.”
Sarah Palin doesn’t articulate Republican ideas any better or worse than any other recent Republican candidate, so there has to be some other reason why so many Republicans regard her as a universal fail who wasted their time and money. Maybe it was career choice of professional Facebook personality over Governor of Alaska.
