Presumably, Don Imus and Bob Beckel were mocking Bill O’Reilly out of affection on today’s Imus in the Morning show on Fox Business Network. But as an old friend of mine used to say, paraphrasing Shakespeare, there is much truth in jest. So just how much truth were Imus and Beckel telling when they called O’Reilly a “jerk” who’s “so full of himself” that it would be "deadly" “spending a weekend with that guy?” Even as Imus said he could say that "because we've been friends for 30 years?" I report, you decide.

Fox Hosts Rag On 'Jerk' O'Reilly: 'Can You Imagine Spending A Weekend With That Guy?' - 'It'd Be Deadly'
Despite being good friends with colleague Bill O'Reilly , Fox personalities Don Imus and Bob Beckel seem to think he's a total "jerk" with whom it would be insufferable to spend an entire weekend. During a segment of today's Imus in the Morning, the two had a little fun at O'Reilly's expense, mocking his bombastic persona and his forthcoming book Killing Jesus.
Some of this is to be expected, in that I believe O’Reilly is the highest paid entertainer at Fox News and there’s bound to be some sniping at him by the other personalities there. But this went a little farther than the usual gripes – there was a real edge in this.
