Behar on 'The View' Tells O'Reilly he 'Drank the Kool-Aid' on Bush

It was a bickering extravaganza on Wednesday when television commentator Bill O'Reilly, in a guest appearance on 'The View' , sparred with Joy Behar, one of the co-hosts on the program.

The argument began after O'Reilly and the rest of the show's commentators finished watching a clip where O'Reilly angrily demands from Democratic congressman Barney Frank that he admit that he had a role to play in the demise of mortgage finance companies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

Once the clip finished, O'Reilly attempted to explain his viewpoint that Frank failed in properly supervising the companies, however co-host Joy Behar interrupted, indicating she would rather hear Frank's point of view.

"He can tell us and you'll believe every word of it," O'Reilly said.

"I don't believe anything you say or he says," she replied. "I believe what I read sometimes," she added.

"You got the Kool-Aid for her?" O'Reilly asked incredulously. "Because you're a Kool-Aid drinker and I say that really seriously."

Behar pounced on the comments.

"So are you. You drank the Kool-Aid on George Bush for eight years," she replied as the studio audience cheered.

O'Reilly said he was just being tough in questioning Frank.
