It was the cranky-old-man shove heard ’round the world.

Fox News conservative commentator Bill O’Reilly was apparently trying to play the role of a reporter Saturday when he attended an Obama rally, and actually tried to ask a question. Why a man like Bill O’Reilly would suddenly start asking questions instead of endlessly pontificating is beyond me, but rest assured that he was justly ignored.

But being ignored doesn’t sit well with O’Reilly, as you likely guessed. So he started shouting and shoving, which shouldn’t surprise you, either. He actually had to be restrained by the secret service, god bless ‘em. They’ll surely get a round of “Anti-American” vitriol from O’Reilly via his show on monday, of course. The Obama camp was quick to notify the media about the insane conservative who attacked them, but Barack also stuck around to answer whatever the hell O’Reilly’s question was. Aww.
