Bill O'Reilly crops gay kiss out of Adam Lambert gay kiss photos

Okay, this is pretty much the funniest thing you're going to see all week, I promise.

Last night The O'Reilly Factor's Culture Warriors segment addressed the Adam Lambert "gay kissing picture" scandal head-on by showing the widely-circulated photos of the American Idol favorite making out with another guy ... and cropping out the actual image of their lips touching.

I wonder if O'Reilly had the images cropped ahead of time or if he just told the video tech that they WERE DOING IT F*CKING LIVE!! ...

Anyway, I love how his ladies shut him the hell up when he tries to insinuate that Adam's sexuality may impact his chances at winning, and he eventually concedes that if this loose-lipped sissypants is the most talented contestant, he should indeed win.

And really, I know that Papa Bear Bill is much more comfortable sharing images of torture and such than pictures of people kissing, but what was really behind the decision to crop a photo of two dudes sharing a dry-mouth peck? Was he afraid that showing it on-air would cause basketsful of adorable kittens to spontaneously rain from the heavens in all of his cable markets?

Check out the clip below (it starts at about 5:00, after the Sarah Palin segment). Thanks to GeoNorth for the tip and the biggest laugh of the day!

What a creep. O'Reilly hate makes me love Adam that much more. I wonder if Falafel-head knows he has that effect on some people.

he never fails to amuse me. i guess he didn't want all his viewers to go blind or die of a heart attack, because then....nobody would be able to watch him and he'd lose his job...or something? who the hell knows? i find it easier to laugh at them than try and analyzing them.

Bill's coded call

It looked more like a coded call to all O'Reilly's supporters that they shouldn't vote for Lambert. It'd be lovely if there were enough people - gay and straight - voting to ensure that Lambert was comfortably safe. Having said that, it'd be fascinating to see if the judges used their veto to save Lambert.

Right now Adam is the center of the show, people who love him and people who hate are expecting every week what the hell he'll do with his song, so i thing the judges will save him (or allison, or gokey, for different reasons).

Some people say that this will damage him, and that he will be in the bottom 3 this week, but if he'll do a great performance, i don't think so. Come on, conservative people won't like a guy with polished nails and eye liner even if he was straighter than straight, so i don't think he is losing votes.

It's really weird for me than a long running democracy like the USA have that issues, when i was born spain was a dictature (fortunatelly we became a democracy before my first birthday), and being gay wasn't legal. I'm very proud of the evolution of my country

This segment wasn't nearly as bad as I feared it would be when I heard about it. I'm glad the women didn't take the bait. Btw, what was censored out of the pic was their tongues.
