Letterman Does Bush vs. Kerry Bit: Calls President "Jackass"
CBS TV | 6/17/2004 | ikka

Posted on 06/17/2004 9:35:18 PM PDT by ikka

Letterman's show has been poking fun at the President for a while now. But tonight, on a "Bush vs. Kerry" bit, Kerry's photo had the words "horse face" listed beside a still photo of JFK. Beside Bush's photo? The word "Jackass" .

Consider the source, and it's really a compliment.

Letterman generally slams both sides, and he did do some digs at Kerry in that bit, but I also thought it was slanted more against Bush. Later, Vince Vaughn came on, recounted meeting Bush at the White House, and said he was very nice. This was followed by alleged comedian Margaret Cho pumping for gay marriage and ranting about how we had to get rid of Bush and vote in "anybody else!"

I often wonder what makes uneducated stand-up comedians think that the 10 minutes of time they're lucky enough to get on a late night talk show would be best spent spouting their idiotic political opinions that are guaranteed to make at least half the audience despise them.

He just had Margaret Cho on, who was saying Bush needs to be tossed out of the White House. When Letterman asked who she'd like to see up there she said "I don't care as long as it's not him. Anybody but Bush. Anybody".

>>>"I don't care as long as it's not him. Anybody but Bush. Anybody".

The longer this remains as the leftists screech, the larger W's margin of victory will be.

She's probably voting for Nader or Sharpton.

While commenting on President Bush last night, Letterman said: "I'm gonna miss him".

Clearly, he thinks the traitor Kerry is going to win.

Consider it a compliment, Bush must be doing many things right.

Gawd, I hope so........I hope all of their frantic screaching and crap will show people what they are really like.

I am SO sick of Dan Rather right now.......defending Clinton. (in commercials I've seen).........

Anyone know of a DIRECT email to Dan Rather?

Actually, I'd rather be called "Jackass" instead of "horse face."

I've checked these guys out for years.Leno got his start on Letterman(well before that J Carson) and was bright, young, and independant then.They are all corrupt now.They pretty much all suck. They suck for a living and you don't see one take a stand for any political party,policy or concept. It's all one big joke to them and shithead O'brien has inserted hisself into nether regions for reasons unclear yet observable.I don't care if they fawn and goo-goo at babies at times they are trash.It's all a big scam.

Letterman is also rather militantly pro-gay marriage. He even said so several times on his show.

'eff him and his liberal friends.
