Tammy Bruce: O'Reilly Factor Bleeps Me, Hot Air Gets It

O'Reilly Factor Bleeps Me, Hot Air Gets It

Frankly, I had no idea they had until I checked in with Hotair.com. I don't watch myself on television, so I went along blithly shopping last night after we taped the segment. Thanks Allah, and what a lovely look of mine you've captured ;)

As you know from my post about the show, we were discussing what the feminist movement has meant and it wasn't so that women could start treating themselves like trash. One analogy I've used for quite sometime is that we haven't worked so hard so Madonna could masturbate on stage.

Well, guess what word they bleeped--masturbate. Now, for the life of me, that's a technical word, and is the least prurient way to describe that act. That's what Madonna had taken to doing in her stage show, and that's the way to describe it. But, I got bleeped. Go figure.

My thanks to Hot Air for noticing and posting (I must learn how to do that :) . And let me note, I am proud to join the ranks of Neo-Potty Mouth Michelle Malkin, who has also been bleeped on O'Reilly. At a certain point, there will probably be enough of us to commission a new Organization of Bleeping Women.

UPDATE:

Captain Ed from Captain's Quarters chimes in at Comments:

I think you and Michelle should found the TBW -- Tough Bleeping Women. I'd bet you could get Mary Katherine Ham to join as well.

Great idea Captain. God forbid should Mary Katherine say the words "balls" and "masturbate" in the same sentence. Heck, we just might have to bail her out.

Ok, Mr. O cannot beat you in a debate so he has to bleep you, huh? I noticed you were bleeped and my initial reaction was that it must have been a legal decision (Mr. O didn't want to get sued for the millionth time). I think everyone knew what the word was anyway. Again congratulations on your appearance and Mr. O should have you back every week along with Michelle M. and that other liberal girl.

Tammy, you and Michelle Malkin may be Potty Mouths, but you are the best kind--DIGNIFIED Potty Mouths with lots of CLASS! Yeah! :]

(If you are going to say "masterbate" on TV again, try using an English accent--the censors will probably let it slide.)

Billy Joel could say it, but Tammy Bruce can't?

What's the world coming to?

(No pun intended.)

I saw you get bleeped last night Tammy. It really took me by surprise, but then laughed out loud remembering when I saw Michelle get bleeped.

That's some bleeping club you guys have started!
:o)

There have always been women like Madonna, Paris, Britney.... the only difference is now they're out in the daylight instead of in underground clubs where you need a password to get in. I wonder what has made it ok in our society today? It's a big combination of failures-society, family, churches. But even at that, I think there is still that internal spark from God called a conscience that they could always listen to. Unless someone is a sociopath, most things in this life don't require us being told what is right and what is wrong.

My brother and I took bets on what you said.

Mine was ..."hump a crucifix on stage"

Oh well.

I know that Fox News and Fox Entertainment are different entities, but anyone who watches even a smattering of TV can tell you that Fox shows are uniformly raunchy. If they bleeped every half hour Fox show in accordance with how you were treated, there'd be 20 minutes of dead air time.

Went off and got yourself bleeped on O’Reilly, did you, Ms. Bruce? Just what the (bleep) were you thinking? You must be some kind of (bleep)ing (bleep) to say a word like (bleep) on national (bleep)ing television, for (bleep) sakes! Why can’t you have some (bleep)ing decency! Jeez, it makes my (bleep) shrivel to think about this whole mess! Anyway, as a gratuitously offered suggestion, as a stuck-in-the-80’s kind of guy I generally substitute all the bleep-able material for variations of the word “smurf”. As in, “Did you catch that smurfy Madonna? She’s the smurfy smurf that smurfed the smurf right in front of God and everybody! Can you believe they let her adopt/rent that little Malawi kid with that kind of smurfing behavior?” Anyway, try that out on Big Bill next time he has you on the show, because I doubt seriously that he’s going to get it and the look on his face while he tries to figure out if it’s a dirty word or not ought to be a classic.

Hi Tammy
You are "So Hot!" I love listening to you on Saturday nites. You are witty, intelligent, and just darn good! O'Reilly can really come off as a pompous wuss. I never bother to watch him or any TV for that matter. The web is my source and you are one of them.

We are fortunate to have a woman of your experience and caliber (you do have a mike and a gun) to be on the Talk circuit giving the unique insight and input you do. I'm also glad we have the Malkins, the Hams, and even the Coulters. We need your diverse personalities. I only wish you could web cam on the Saturday show. You 'rook absolutely Mah-vo-lus" You have that combination of good eye appeal as well as voice.

I sure hope your producers would consider doing that.
Thank You for your comittment.
LLoyd
p.s. Low shot for Bill: How about the scandal you escaped? Bet you didn't use "masturbate".

>>God forbid should Mary Katherine say the words "balls" and "masturbate" in the same sentence. Heck, we just might have to bail her out.

That would be only for extreme measures, in which case I would recommend the marginally safer compound term, "masterballs".
