Back in September, O’Reilly appeared on PBS’ show “The Kalb Report,” hosted by Marvin Kalb, one of O’Reilly’s former professors and current Fox News contributor.

h/t to Brad Wilmouth who has a partial transcript at Newsbusters:

MARVIN KALB: Do you believe that a President who avoided military service himself should be sending young men and women to fight in what are called “wars of choice”?

O’REILLY: Are you talking about Bill Clinton? Is that who we’re talking about?

[PAUSE]

KALB: Um, no.

O’REILLY: No?

[AUDIENCE LAUGHS]

O’REILLY: Who are you talking about?

KALB: I’m talking about George W. Bush.

O’REILLY: He was in the National Guard.

KALB: That’s a different issue.

O’REILLY: Wasn’t he President?

KALB: No, we can talk about-

O’REILLY: No, no, no. You posed a question with the word “President” in it-

KALB: Bill Clinton did not start a war such as the Iraq war. Bill Clinton-

O’REILLY: Bosnia, Kosovo, was that?

KALB: Well, hardly that.

O’REILLY: It was hardly that? It was an intervention by the United States over in the Balkans.

KALB: Bill, you’re doing very well, but you’re not answering the question. And you know darn well you’re not answering the question.

O’REILLY: No, it was another left-wing question.

KALB: I want to know

O’REILLY: You wanted to hit Bush, and then I hit you with Clinton, and you were going, “Uh-oh, I forgot about him.” Come on.

[AUDIENCE APPLAUSE]

O’REILLY: Now I’ll answer the question. If the American people elect the Commander-in-Chief-

KALB: What you have just done, what you have just done is a classic O’Reilly.

O’REILLY: Of course. I’m right.

Of course, O’Reilly is full of himself. Some hate him, some love him, but I just like it when he sticks it to a deserving liberal.
