NBC News anchor Brian Williams appeared on CBS The Late Show with David Letterman on Tuesday night. Letterman discussed Williamss special on Rock Center about the killing of Osama bin Laden and became agitated when describing President Barack Obamas successes as compared to what he sees as President George W. Bushs failures in the War on Terror. What more do we want this man to do for us, honest to god, asked Letterman.
He was first asked about CBS Evening News anchor Scott Pelley, who Williams described as being suspiciously sunny in his disposition. Lifes too short, if you feel like something a dog left on the sidewalk, say it, said Williams.
Williams had great praise for the CBS and ABC News teams. Letterman, in turn, complimented Williams on his Rock Center special on the assassination of the Osama bin Laden.
Letterman drew applause from the audience when he said that he felt Obama had demonstrated great courage and great intelligence when he gunned down bin Laden and asked what more do you want to lead your country?

(99,909 posts)The fucking business thieves and criminals will take what's left for them in their never ending quest to stockpile and hoard profit. They'll ransack what's left of our treasury and Social Security and safety nets all for themselves. I seriously fear that what happened in 2000 with Bush v. Gore will happen again - and the thought of Rmoney as president scares the crap out of me.

(140 posts)Where is the main stream media, including CBS, the network of Conkrite? They are afraid of honest commentary because of the bogus notion that the there is no objective truth. The MSM is controlled by the monied interests on the far right. NBC, ABC, and CBS are only slightly better than FOX. They all are unwilling to recognize thet the wing nuts are taking over with the help of the billionaire funded PACS.

(5,062 posts)I LOVE DAVE! Always have. Love how he nailed John McCain in 2008 for bailing on his show. Love how he attacked Sarah Palin and how Palin and her fans tried to get Dave fired. Love how Dave shows his admiration every time Bill and Hillary are on his show. Love how he fights for the under dog. Yeah, Dave makes fun of both Democrats and Republicans,but we all know how Dave votes. I love it when Bill O'Reilly goes on his show. I actually feel sorry for Billo afterwards. DAVE RULES!
