Dave Letterman Bitchslaps O'Reilly


If you've never seen Bush's incredibly rude and embarrassing behavior when he made an appearance on The Letterman show, then here is the link. Perhaps revisiting the Bush debacle on Letterman makes this bitchslap by Dave delivered to Bill O'Reilly seem all the more sweet.

Bill was a guest on The Late Show w/David Letterman, and it was a sight to see. Dave took a switch to O'Lie-ly by mocking his 'red-green' stories on the "War on Christmas" and after handing Bill's ass to him on Iraq and Cindy Sheehan, Bill apparantly decided to cut his visit short (b/c he was only there briefly not like most headliner guests who stay thru at least 2 commercial breaks),-- Dave looked over at Paul Shaeffer and said: "How do you think that went Paul?" You can read the transcript here (I can't say if it is 100% verbatim & I obviously will not vouch for the site that did the transcribing b/c they are clearly wingnuts) but here is the gist: Dave to Bill: "The President himself, less than a month ago said we are there because of a mistake made in intelligence. Well, whose intelligence? It was just somebody just get off a bus and handed it to him? Why the Hell are we there to begin with?" So Bill says the Brits, Russians & Egyptians also presumed Iraq had WMDs, Letterman retorts: "Well then that makes it all right?" Letterman then says: "Have you ever lost family members in armed conflict?" Bill: "No." Letterman: "Then you can hardly speak for Cindy Sheehan, can you? I'm very concerned about people like yourself who don't have endless sympathy for a woman like Cindy Sheehan. Honest to Christ. Honest to Christ." O’Reilly contends: "No way a terrorist who blows up women and children is going to be called a ‘freedom fighter' on my program." To which Letterman fires back: "I have the feeling about 60% of what you say is crap." Wow Dave... only 60%? You are waaay more generous to O'Lie-ly than I could ever dream of being.
