Letterman continues to face down O'Reilly and show him no respect.

[Shakespeare]

Which makes me love Letterman even more. I can't think of anybody who's gone face-to-face with him and so nakedly demonstrated that he has zero respect for the bloviating asshole, so Letterman gets Colbertian Testicle points for that. Anyway, tonight's show has already been taped, and here's a preview:

Morning Briefing:
Letterman vs. O'Reilly, the next round: 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 Warrior" -- "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)

5. Dave Was Spoilin' On This...

Rarely does Dave promo an upcoming show like he did this one. Dave knows O'Reilly hides from most shows, but needs to be on this one to sell his book...out come the knives :rofl:

Now will BillO have the cajones to do TDS or Colbert? We know one show he won't be scheduling...it's the MSNBC at 8pm Eastern.

6. He definately gets Colbert's "Brass Balls" award!

7. It's always been a fact

you don't take on a brilliant comedian....you'll lose every time.
