O'Reilly and Letterman mix it up - TONIGHT

From Salon. You can get a free day pass to read the entire article by watching an advertisement.

Bill O'Reilly appears on "The Late Show with David Letterman" tonight, but Page Six has already seen the tape and reports the goods. After calling the Fox pundit a "bonehead," Letterman ventures a question on the war:

Letterman: Let me ask you a question -- was there more heinous, more dangerous violence taking place before in Iraq, or is there more heinous, dangerous violence taking place now in Iraq?

O'Reilly: Oh, stop it. Saddam Hussein slaughtered 300,000 to 400,000 people, all right, so knock it off... It isn't so black and white, Dave -- it isn't, 'We're a bad country. Bush is an evil liar.' That's not true.

Letterman: I didn't say he was an evil liar. You're putting words in my mouth, just the way you put artificial facts in your head!


Letterman later admits he hasn't read O'Reilly's book, "Culture Wars" -- "I looked at it. I said, 'What is it, a book on sailing?' " -- and ends the interview by looking at his watch: "Oh, gosh, where has the time gone? I have no idea what I'm talking about -- but I don't think you do, either." (Page Six)
