Even the most professional, upstanding people (not saying I like O'Reilly's politics or TV personality at all -- I don't) are prone to having a shit fit when they just can't get anything to go right for them on a shit day. I've done it, chances are you've done it. I can't say I would use this video to defame his character, as much as I'd like to. It just makes me feel sympathetic to the kind of stress he must have been under that day. He got the job done in the end. A completely immature person would have followed through on tossing his mic and walking off, instead of getting his shit under control long enough to grit his teeth and get it done, so at least he has that to his credit. My dad used to be a lot louder, scarier, and profanity-capable than this when he was having a shit day and then something pushed him over the edge, and normally he is very calm, gentle, and clean with his words. Even the tiniest, most trivial things would do it, as this video illustrates. Everybody has bad days.
