Television commentator Bill O'Reilly checks himself in a mirror prior to interviewing Bono, lead singer of the Irish rock group U2, during the third night of the 2004 Republican National Convention, at Madison Square Garden in New York, September 1, 2004.

As more and more former colleagues come forward to call out Fox News' Bill O'Reilly on his "war zone" and "combat situation" lies, Mr. O'Reilly appears to have lost his ever-loving mind:

During a phone conversation, he told a reporter for The New York Times that there would be repercussions if he felt any of the reporter’s coverage was inappropriate. "I am coming after you with everything I have," Mr. O’Reilly said. “You can take it as a threat.”

O-kay. Way to tamp down the story, Bill-O.

(And you know, one must wonder if it any point it will occur to this idiot that had he ignored the original Mother Jones' article, the story would have been a one-day wonder.)
