On Fox news about 10 min ago, (8:55pm May 5,2008) Bill O'Reilly just said that he was a little bit reptilian. He was doing that reptile thing with
his tongue and then he said he was a reptilian. I dont really buy into all that stuff, but I thought it was odd that he would say that...
No...
I just watched the video. You are twisting what he said, and making a lie of omission by not telling us the context in which he said that.
O'Reilly had a body-language expert on his show to dissect his interview with Hillary Clinton. The expert, Tanya Reiman (sp?), said he was making
tongue-protrusions when asking Clinton a question. O'Reilly asked her what it meant, then commented, (and I am quoting exactly) "it's a little
reptilian." Reiman goes on to explain it means someone feels they are unnerved or out of their element.
He did not say "he was a bit reptilian," rather the unconscious body-language (something that ALL humans do) is a bit reptilian. And in the context
of the conversation, it was not at all unusual, as you tried to spin it.
