Very good. Rob Schneider came on, showed photos of himself all over Iraq with the troops (including one of him with his feet on Saddam's coffee table, which got a roar from the audience), and did some of the jokes he uses to entertain the troops. I'll have to make it a point to check out some of his comedies. Interesting that they're produced by Adam Sandler, and he's in all of Sandler's movies, while Sandler is rumored to be one of those rare quiet Hollywood Republicans. Sandler also reportedly got his "SNL" start thanks to the recommendation of Dennis Miller and admires Miller greatly. I know Miller and Dana Carvey are also friends, and I've seen Carvey do some surprisingly biting comedy bits about Clinton and liberals in general. Wonder if they all ever get together and talk politics, like a secret Republican ex-"SNL" cabal?

To all:
David Letterman is here at Tallil. His show will begin in 20 minutes. (1 pm local) Throngs of folks are carrying their folding chairs in that direction.
I don't know when this show will be aired back home. Being Christmas Eve everyone is upbeat....

From Tallil Air Base - southern Iraq....
Merry Christmas to all & Happy New Year!!!!!!

We love you guys and gals. Don't let the media get you down; thousands of GIs come back every month, we all know them, and they tell the great stories of your works. We know, and the media can't take that away!

Thank you again and again. We're praying for you, the success of your mission, and the future of the Iraqi people.

I know [Dennis] Miller and Dana Carvey are also friends, and I've seen Carvey do some surprisingly biting comedy bits about Clinton and liberals in general.

Miller and Carvey's friendship goes back to before Dennis became a moderate. He's a recent convert to right-of-center thought. He was pretty rough on Reagan during his tenure, and was much harder on Newt Gingrich than he was on Clinton. Miller is a 9/12 conservative, more like, say, Ed Koch than Charlton Heston. Miller is also now a father, and he is one of those celebs who isn't shy about saying how it improved his life. His reward for not hiding his changed outlook? Being depicted in Vanity Fair as a monkey dancing for an organ-grinding GWB.

Carvey is a solid family guy (I will never forget his advice on Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher about not giving up on marriage when the passion fades, because it will always return) and did the definitive George H.W. Bush impersonation ("Not gonna do it!"). Back then, whether it was Ford, Carter, Reagan, or Bush pere, you could make fun of a President while not insulting him. I don't know why that's such a difficult task nowadays.

Thanks for serving!

That's fantastic that Letterman is over there.

I gotta see that show.

Those of us that support you over there (and it is a LOT of America), we got yer back as best we can. All of you protecting our Constitutional Republic and ridding the world of terrorists are supported tremendously over here. Thanks again.

Post a thread about the Letterman Show if you are able.

Oh and nice tag line...LOL

I wonder if Adam Sandler didn't get enough of leftist hollywood with his SNL costar Janeane "I think Adam Sandler's comedy is childish" Garofalo.

I always thought that was a very stupid comment coming from someone who was dating Ben Stiller who makes the most childish movies in Hollywood IMO.
