Hot off the press....LETTERMAN BASHES O'LEILLY!!
October 27, 2006 -- ANY lingering doubts that David Letterman detests Bill O'Reilly will be laid to rest tonight, when the gap-toothed funnyman has the conservative Fox News powerhouse on his CBS "Late Show" and machine-guns him with insults.

<snip>

"Bonehead!" snaps Letterman, who then starts shaking his fist and waving his arms at O'Reilly as the subject turns to the war in Iraq. "Let me ask you a question - was there more heinous, more dangerous violence taking place Iraq, or is there more heinous, dangerous violence taking place now in Iraq?"

"Oh, stop it," O'Reilly scolds the host. "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."

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

2. If I was a clever photoshopper
I'd love to do a Mt. Rushmore with the faces of Keith Olberman, Jon Stewart, Bill Maher and Dave Letterman. In fact I'd put it on a teeshirt.

5. I love Dave's closing remark:
Checking his watch to signal an end to the insult-a-thon, Letterman sarcastically quips, "Oh, gosh, where has the time gone?" He adds: "I have no idea what I'm talking about - but I don't think you do, either."

21. He said that at the beginning of last night's show, too.
(Sub "you do" with "he does.)

11. They tape two shows on Thursdays
Show the first one on Thursday and the second on Friday.

That way, Dave and the crew get a 3-day weekend every weekend.

12. Damn, I missed it!!
Why does O'loser ever talk to bright people? You would think his people would steer him away from this kind of thing.

20. Awesome! Can't wait until
my Freep co-worker sees it. He predicted that O'Lielly would "wipe the floor" with Dave. :eyes:

Oh, and I love how The Post slams Dave; they're such a transparent right-wing rag.
