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!
