Grouch News: Bill O’Reilly Meets Spill O’Reilly
1:38 pm Wednesday Nov 25, 2009 by Caroline Stanley

Only Bill O’Reilly could look completely non-nonplussed about meeting his honorary Muppet counterpart, Spill O’Reilly. And then accuse the puppet of resembling Congressman Barney Frank. And then tell the puppet that he needs a new tie and jacket. Sherrie Westin, Executive VP of Sesame Workshop was obviously trying to smooth things over after Oscar the Grouch trashed Pox News by playing up the historical angle, but we’re not sure it worked.

What do you think? Was O’Reilly really flattered?
