I was proud of Letterman because he was so obviously out of his element. Political activism is not normally his bag: yet he’s upset enough to take on a right wing mouthpiece. I don’t usually watch Letterman, but I saw the whole conversation on download. I don’t think Letterman was really able to take Mr. Bill down (the way Stewart did, effortlessly), but I was so damn thrilled that he tried to articulate rather than soft-peddling the interview. Good for him.

I watched Letterman last night and couldn’t believe anyone would want to debate that blow hard. The Christmas stuff is like a standup routine for O’Reilly. It was all worth it though to hear Letterman tell Bill he was full of crap. There was also an animal trick where a cat called 911 while he was interviewing O’Reilly.

Did anyone go to media matters? They have similiar clip addressing the part of the interview on christmas and some innacuracy by O’liely on “Silent Night”.
What I found interesting is comparing the clip offered at C&L and M/M. John did some creative editing by taking that “60%” line from the end of the Christmas bit with Dave and fitting it into the more serious Cindy Sheehan jabs as a followup.
In any event, I found the whole back and forth tiring and incoherant blather that made no sense. So what. O’rielly’s an obnoxious bore and Letterman’s a barely funny bore who admits he’s stupid. I agree, Dave.

The other 40% is pre-born crap. The kind that is high up in your colon, watery with partially digested food.It stinks even worse than the normal crap, which of course is the other 60% of O’Reilly’s words of wisdom.

No, the other 40% is crap as well, it’s just crap that hasn’t been substantiated yet.

Does this mean that 40% of O’Reilly isn’t crap? That seems high.
