It’s not just Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly who has anger issues. According to Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee, the entire network is “too angry.” The Republican-turned-independent made the comment while discussing the “war on Christmas” with “The O’Reilly Factor” host. O’Reilly was irate that the statehouse tree is called a “holiday tree” rather than a “Christmas tree.” The tradition dates to the 1990s.

“I’m a happy guy,” O’Reilly responded. Perhaps he could show it once in a while?
