Olbermann Parses O'Reilly Body Language: "Dictator," "Aggressive Towards Women," "In Heat"

Keith Olbermann hosted "body language expert" Stacey Grenrock Woods to analyze the deeper meaning behind Bill O'Reilly's "Inside Edition" meltdown.

Grenrock Woods' assessment: O'Reilly is dismissive and aggressive towards women, he displays rare, dictatorial body language, "mostly seen by your Benito Mussolinis, your General Pinochets." Grenrock Woods also explained the end of the clip as O'Reilly "spraying his territory...basically saying, this is my jacket, this is my chair, this is my desk, my, my, my, my women, my chair, my desk, me, I am superior, I have the power." And, while generally one takes off his jacket because he is hot, Grenrock Woods believes O'Reilly taking his jacket off at the end of the clip signifies that he is "in heat," "ready to mate," and "probably about to troll the halls of 'Inside Edition' for a mate, a woman to dominate."

At the end of the clip, Olbermann revealed the Grenrock Woods was not actually a "body language expert" and is actually from "The Daily Show" — which didn't come as much of a surprise, but also didn't take away from the hilarity of the clip.

I love when Cons play the rating card - as in "Billo's ratings are better than Kieth's so Billo must be better"

MCDonalds outsells wholefoods- does that make MCDonalds food "better" for you?
Wresting does better in the ratings than boxing- does that make it more real?
T- Pain is on the top of the billboard's top 40- ya think that is his "real" voice?

[VitriolAndAngst]

And, while few make more money than O'Reilly (wages of sin?), Oprah makes more money than all these other wingnuts and she endorsed Obama.

To add salt to the wound -- tell them that France is more popular now than the USA.

AS long as we are talking popularity­...

Coke spanks wine.
Supernanny doesn't spank -- but she outsells the Dog Whisperer (hey, both are good for controlling kids -- depends on what you want as a result, that's all).
Hollywood elite, way more popular than NeoCons -- even for political commentary. Paid propaganda doesn't count.
More people voted for American idol than for Bush -- that means we need to be ruled by someone with a nice voice, and spiky hair.

[WoodyCPM]

The "body language community"? Geesh....

[OtayPanky]

KO is kinda funny in snark mode - but when he tries to channel Edward R. Murrow he just sounds like a Monty Python character.

[noamjunior]

funny- when you try to channel astute political commentary you just sound like a ditto-head

[VitriolAndAngst]

Word.

[bdd]

GREAT SHOW.
KEEP THEM COMING KEITH!!!

[Nofoolhere]

Can't help by notice the concentration of apparent right wing trolls orchestrating their trashing of Olbermann. For all these nits allegedly departing Olbermann, its amazing that he has increasingly high ratings. Olbermann is a rare mixture of intelligence, creativity, knowledge, and political insight that makes him the genius he is.

So it's understandable that when one is required to soar with an eagle, these turkeys can't get any higher than the trees.

[Redrover666]

Your's is the silliest comment so far. Thanks!!

I'm going to say something that will shock you, so sit back in your chair.

O'Reilly and Olbermann are entertainers.

There. I said it!

Are you OK?

[TheHunt]

Redrover666,

Yours is a reply to the top-of-the-chain comment by Foolhere, right?

I can tell by the time you posted it versus when I posted mine.

[TheHunt]

A rare mixture of intelligence, creativity, knowledge, political insight --and other fun adjectives-- that makes him a genius?

I'm sure he's intelligent, creative, and insightful --knowledgeable is an unsurmountable hard sell-- but clearly these qualities make him such a genius he consistently flags behind frigging O'Reilly and the CNN goon. Olbermann is most akin to that similarly intelligent, creative, and insightful college TA who didn't know squat about the course material and was always looking to circle punctuation errors in his red ink. Yeah, gotta love those genius know-nothings.

My personal choice among adjectives for him: snively.

[WarriorLemming]

Olbermann rocks, I've switched from CNN and now watch his show in that time slot. Incrediably funny and appealing commentary exceptional personality.

[TheHunt]

I'm no fan of Bill O'Reilly, but why is Keith Olbermann making fun of him? It's Keith Olbermann! The smarmiest, most dislikable, snot-nosed stereotype on television. Bill O'Reilly is angry and a frigging loon, but at least he's not on a worthwhile network. Olbermann is! I end up with a choice between despicable Olbermann, raging nut O'Reilly, or that couch potato neo-con on CNN. 8:00 is the worst hour on cable news.

[toby25]

I couldn't agree more. Keith Olbermann is a complete goof. How about him and his pompous "special comments" he sounds like a baffoon. Does anybody regularly watch this Olbermann? It is like the "if a tree falls in the woods and nobody hears it" analogy. O'Reilly is a blowhard but Olbermann would give anything for O'Reilly's ratings.

[KennyFox]

THis is great! The right wing commentators ahve been doing this against the "liberals" for years. Good to see the right wingers getting their just deserts. (Did I spell that right?) Sweeeeeeet.

[VitriolAndAngst]

I have trouble with this too;
Desert -- a dry place.
Dessert -- a tasty after dinner treat.

But, let them eat sand. Seems fitting!

oops. Already on the new follow up Huffpo story. Funniest damn video yet.

[OverCoffee]

Thanks for that link, Truthyguy. That was hilarious.

[VitriolAndAngst]

I can't check these links right now,..

but, if they are the Disco version of Bill O'Reilly's melt-down, that is the funniest thing I've seen in a while.

Maybe if you threw in BO swatting at flying ninja LOL-Cat's -- now THAT would be youtube gold baby!

[carlosb00]

Bill is just a well paid attack dog, and he's actually good at it. But for the rest of us, we have to agonize each time we watch him. Neocon pet.

[MACS]

.
"Neocon pet" is that looking up at a chiapet???
.

[VitriolAndAngst]

The well paid attack dog is really mean, because it is fed Republican Dog Food -- which as we know, is getting removed from the shelves.

[LiberalBuzz]

Ya gotta just feel sorry for the poor trollz who immediately leap to this thread and start speaking for the rest of the world in decrying K.O. as someone no one watches or pays attention to and blah blah blah.

Delusion must really addictive for them to keep coming here and proclaiming the "Truth" as they know it.

I also love the "concerned trolls" those are the ones who pretend to worry about us and think that listening to people like K.O. is bad for us and we should just listen to them and come over to the Dark Side.

Fools and morons, the lot of 'em.

[steamboat]

In the meantime O'Reilly has 3 1/2 times more viewers than Olbermann.

Listen, when Olbermann had that meltdown about having Hillary put in a room and beat-up, thats it, I stopped watching any part of his show. That was "out of control and sick".

[plainsman]

Bull-snort.

[pleeezzze]

Olbermann is a mouth piece for Obama .
I don't like either of these fools ,but really don't see much difference in them .

Hard to tell which ones worse !

[zona9]

Olbermann, by a mile. As far as I know O'Reilly hasn't used vile language to describe women's genitals, like Olbermann has and O'Reilly hasn't viciously insulted women commentators like O'Reilly has. And O'Reilly isn't shaped like a giant pear. Gratuitious attack, sure, but have you seen fatty Olbermann actually out from behind the desk? Scary! The man is as big as house.

[Bulbul]

sooo agree...

[mamacat]

I just don't "get" Olbermann. Is he a newsman, a comic, an editorialist, all of the above, or none? Sometimes he makes sense, but then when he goes off on a tangent, it distracts from his other messages.

[VitriolAndAngst]

The show format wasn't really his idea. They started his show as a light-hearted survey of the news -- kind of like the show Bill O'Reilly used to be on.

The top-ten lists and such, are meant to be breezy.

I really am not bothered by the format -- but I understand that it can generally, make the "hard news" seem less serious. However, I get my news from the internet and the Daily Show -- so, I guess I've adapted to the funny-but true form of news in the 21st Century.

[UnbiasView]

I stopped watching Keith about 6 months ago, does he still whine about Billo every night? 6 years in Keith, getting a bit old . . .

[zona9]

It's really really really old. Painfully old. It wasn't really funny to begin with, now it's just sad. And unfunny. Did I mention old?

[UnbiasView]

I thought it was funny at first but after awhile it became like an ongoing cryfest.

[Irons]

KO, must you associate Billo with falafel. I like falafel.

[irishgawdess]

I didn't recognize Stacey Grenrock Woods, but by the third time I heard her say Billo "was aggressive towards women" I knew something was up. The predominant theme was "women," I can't wait to hear Billo's reaction to that! Probably foaming at the mouth and scrubbing himself hairless with his loofa!

"Ready to mate," and "probably about to troll the halls of 'Inside Edition' for a mate, a woman to dominate," that was classic!
