No, not that he's a liberal, but that he is a major league "rectum opening."
I rarely watch his show but stayed up late last night because I knew that Bill O'Reilly would be on.
From the moment O'Reilly was introduced, Letterman acted like a jerk.
First, he belittled O'Reilly for taking on the "anti-Merry Christmas" crowd.
Then he came down hard on Bill for having the audacity to criticize Cindy Sheehan.
He closed by telling O'Reilly that "I believe that 60% of what you say is crap." Bill asked him if he watches the show. Letterman replied that he doesn't watch but reads stuff about him.
Well what does that mean? It means that Letterman is in cahoots with 2 major smear merchants, Al Franken and David Brock.
In all my years of watching late night TV, I have never ever seen any guest treated as rudely or obnoxiously as O'Reilly was treated.
Bill kept his cool and didn't allow Letterman to bait him.
Shame on David Letterman!
Nothing but liberals in the crowd as well.
www.conservativeteen.com ..or something close.
I stopped watching Letterman years ago, after seeing every show open with his bashing of the president, and conservatives in general. He's truly NOT funny anymore...and Paul Schafer just annoys the crap out of me anyway.
I find Leno more laughable, because even though his jokes tend to be liberal slanted, he goes both ways and bashes both sides.
But then we have Conan O'Brien, now he's funny.
Have to give NBC big kudos for picking Jay over Dave.
The big story is the pencil swirl in ORs drink mug.
I like Craig Ferguson.
Good interview with Eric Bana
Davie better stick with those Hollywood bimbos and back-door cowboys if he doesn't want to look like an idiot.
I think what really bothered O'Reilly was that the crowd clapped at everything coming out of Letterman's mouth. I think O'Reilly wasn't prepared for this setup (I have no idea why) and was visibly agitated.
The Letterman experience
The late-night program hosted by David Letterman is the toughest interview show on television.
That's because Mr. Letterman is a smart guy who can spot a phony with telescopic accuracy and expects his guests to bring something to the table. If a guest begins to sink on this show, the bottom is a long way down.
A big part of doing well on the Letterman show is the audience. A guest not only has to win over the host, but also the people who are sitting a few yards away. It is not a tough crowd, most are happy to be seeing Dave in person, but they are listening. And you better have something to say.
I saw that quote before, which is why I'm so confused.
