At the taping late Monday afternoon of CBS's Late Show, host David Letterman asked guest Katie Couric about “this bonehead Rush Limbaugh,” prompting Couric to plead: “Dave, don't do this to me, please! Don't do this to me.” But Letterman was just getting rolling with insults as he asserted Limbaugh's attire on Saturday at CPAC made him look “like an Eastern European gangster.” Focusing on Limbaugh's physical appearance, Letterman recited how Limbaugh's “got the black jacket on, the black silk shirt and it's unbuttoned, like, 'oh yeah, you think Rush Limbaugh, you think ooh let's see a little flesh.'”
CBS posted the exchange as the “Big Show Highlight” preview for Monday's show. It's now the lead video in rotation on the Late Show's home page where it is displayed under the “Rush in the Flesh” heading. You can also view the Flash video clip from this interior page.

I think Rush Limbaugh is a bonehead. Guess what that makes me.

I haven’t watched his show in years. I’m sure these bonehead comments by Letterman will boost his ratings. ;O)

Two years from now, people like him will be saying to people like Rush, “why didn't you warn us about this Obama guy?”

Letterman and Couric... not enough intellectual cadlepower there to light a small closet. And their combined audience numbers don’t even match one day’s worth of Rush’s listeners.

I have not watched Letterman since I was young, dumb and uninformed. His ignorance is insulting and worn out....

I can’t wait to hear Rush unload on Letterman like he did Steele.

From the audience numbers I could find on the web, Limbaugh’s audience is THREE times larger than Letterman’s.

Wow, getting attacked by David Letterman and Katie Couric! And getting attacked on his looks! I’m sure this will really hurt Rush’s feelings. The next thing you know, Keith Olberman will be going after him!

I’m sure these bonehead comments by Letterman will boost his ratings. Over the past few years, I've drifted away from listening to Limbaugh. Thanks, Dave, for inspiring me to start downloading Rush's podcasts.
Stick *that* in your top ten list.

If I looked like Letterman I wouldn't criticize anyone else on their looks.

Well, obviously he couldn’t attack Rush on the content of the speech so he made fun of his appearance.Childish and oh so liberal..
To: Zakeet
All Rush needed was some bling around his neck and a pair of sunglasses and he’d have looked like mainstream Hollywood diversity.

“Johnny Carson he is not!!!!’
When Johnny Carson was still alive he used to write lots of conservative bashing jokes for Letterman.

Rush probably has a bigger audience during a commercial break than the two of these do at the height of their shows!
