Fox's O'Reilly Gets Pushy at Obama Event

In case anyone needed more evidence that Bill O'Reilly is among the biggest horse's asses on the planet:

But it was after Obama's speech that O'Reilly threw some elbows. And not so figuratively either.

Obama staffer Marvin Nicholson, a personal aide always at Obama's side during rope line handshakes, said O'Reilly yelled at him to get out of the way of his cameraman's shot. Nicholson said O'Reilly came around the waist-high barricade separating Obama from well-wishers.

``Then he grabbed me with both of his arms and tried to push me out of the way,'' Nicholson said after the campaign agreed to make him available to reporters.
