Bill O'Reilly appreciates the mind of Fox News legal analyst Lis Wiehl — and don't get him started on her body.
Liberal watchdogs at Media Matters are agog over O'Reilly's on-air ogling of the Harvard-educated law prof.
On his Nov. 3 radio broadcast, O'Reilly called for a "full-body search" of Wiehl, adding that "she asked for it." On Oct. 26, he asked Wiehl to protest outside CBS studios in a bikini. On Nov. 10, discussing an executive who spent $250,000 in one night at a strip club, he told Wiehl "it might be worth learning how" to dance for a $10,000 tip, adding, "You're a good-looking girl. I mean, if you haven't seen Lis on TV, she's a good-looking blond."
It's the sort of language that former O'Reilly producer Andrea Mackris might have cited in that lawsuit she filed against him last year. But a Fox News spokesman tells us: "Lis was not offended at all."
California Rep. Nancy Pelosi did take umbrage when O'Reilly called for terrorists to "go ahead" and blow San Francisco off the map. O'Reilly says he was joking. Says Pelosi: "The American people know what's funny and what's not."
Last night, O'Reilly ran a picture of the congresswoman on his show and compared her with the Wicked Witch of the West. "Look at the woman's face," he said. "I thought flying monkeys were going to attack me on the way home."
Guess he prefers looking at Lis.
