Shep Smith on Dave Letterman

Posted on 09/05/2005 9:48:09 PM PDT by ark_girl

Did anybody see Shep Smith on Dave Letterman?

Letterman had just gotten through ripping FEMA and Bush for their performance with New Orleans and Katrina. Letterman then had Smith go through all the horrors he's seen. Then Letterman tried to get Smith to assign blame. That's when Shep shined. He basically said there are people dying...yet to be rescued. There are dead bodies floating around. He basically said it's sick to be playing the blame game right now when people haven't been able to bury their dead yet.

I don't think it's at all what Letterman had in mind. He seemed kinda stunned. I'm hoping he thought about what Shep was saying and saw some wisdom in it.

Go Shep!!!! He said what needed to be said and maybe made some people think about what they're doing right now.

Saw him and wasn't impressed when he didn't cast blame on the administration as that's all he seemed to imply last week as he played to the camera. It was O'Reilly who figuratively slapped some sense into him and Geraldo asking they calm down. Apparently Mr. O may have realized they were attempting to make the stories more about them and their reaction instead of just reporting.

Fox would be wise to fire Whorealdo and never let Shep leave the studio.

Letterman hasn't done anything original or funny in years.
