Was Bill O'Reilly Drunk During His Post-Debate Show?

Bill O'Reilly is known as a teetotaler. But lots of people thought he was drunk during his live, post-debate show Thursday night. Patton Oswalt called him "TRUMAN CAPOTE TALKSHOW DRUNK." A lot of Twitter followers agreed with him.

In his book, An Atheist in the FOXhole, former O'Reilly producer Joe Muto wrote, "Everyone on the O'Reilly staff was a very accomplished drinker, with one surprising exception: Bill himself. The man is a complete teetotaler." I have also heard O'Reilly say he doesn't drink.

But he definitely seemed lit up and/or tipsy, especially as seen in the interviews with Ted Cruz and John Kasich, below. O'Reilly stumbled over his words and just wasn't himself.

Oswalt also tweeted that O'Reilly "is the wet-brain carnival geek from NIGHTMARE ALLEY."

To be fair, O'Reilly could have been tired or on medication or just nervous. Also, if he never drinks, it seems possible that one or two drinks could have affected him more than someone else. I'm a very moderate drinker and one drink can definitely get me buzzed.

Watch O'Reilly's interviews with Cruz and Kasich, below, from the March 3 O'Reilly Factor special debate show and decide for yourself.

He can always blame it on a faulty earpiece. That usually works.

Bill’s been looking drunk lately, why no sound it too?

What about the slurred words?

Well, we know that Trump and Mr. Bill enjoy “milkshakes” together, whatever that means. But, no, I don’t think he’s drunk. He’s an old, old man. It’s late, and far past his bedtime. He just needs a solid sleep, and he’ll be back to his old vitriolic, hateful self.

Bildo had a few because he was upset that his Johnson is half the size of Donald T. Trump’s Johnson. Which is HUGE.

That’d be staying up all night. Consider this an edit of my last comment.😠

Based upon his drooling interview of former “Factor” fill-in guy, Kasich, I think Bill is simply tired from staying up all masturbating to Kasich campaign publicity photos. 😉

This was due from lack of oxygen since Billdo spends his time up the Trumpsters ass.

I don’t think he was drunk but possibly sedated due to losing his kids to his much abused ex wife.

I think Junior O’Reilly should have Jesse Waters taste test all Milk Shakes handed to him by Donald T. Rump.

Not drunk, just choking on another lump of his stupidity intended for his audience but inadvertently attempted to swallow himself.
