Letterman: Probably drinking when we planned the invasion of Iraq.
He was talking about rumors that Cheney didn't report the incident for almost 24 hours because he was drinking.

1. He is pushing the drunk Cheney line HARD. tee hee.
Edited on Wed Feb-15-06 11:44 PM by Pirate Smile
He gets to his desk and says - let's talk about our Vice President a little.

Ha haa - Cheney fleeing in the white bronco ala OJ.

I bet we will follow it throughout the entire show.

That was great. He rattled off a bunch of Cheney jokes. I can't remember them all now.

3. quite possible. my husband said that if they took a breath-a-lizer
test, even if the beer had been hours before if cheney even belched it would show up.

how about the way he says he'll never forget seeing his friend on the ground. i wonder if he ever thinks about all the people in iraq that he's killing.

6. New Music Video Features "Eyes Wide Open" Boots


http://www.afsc.org
AFSC’s Eyes Wide Open exhibit is featured in the blues musician Robert Cray’s new music video. The song, “Twenty,” from Cray’s Grammy-nominated album of the same name, commemorates the soldiers whose lives are “used up” by the Iraq war.

11. "if he ever thinks about all the people in iraq that he's killing"
He doesn't. If he doesn't personally know them AND if they don't belong in his social circle or directly help him get richer or more powerful, then they don't even count as people.

8. LOL! k/r
Is Dave back? He went conservative there for a long time. Maybe he's a con but not a crook...
Anyway, I stopped watching him when I heard too much lib bashing.

10. Dave's Never Been A Con
Yes, he's made Clinton jokes...he still does...but he's never sucked up to this regime.

If anything Dave's been getting more and more anti-booosh over the past year. It appeared to start when boooosh came on his show and wiped his glasses off on an intern. Then last year, Dave showed a video of a kid bored at a boooosh rally...the next day CNN, at the prompting of the White House, claimed Letterman doctored that bit. Dave came out the next night and took the White House and CNN to task for it. Since then I haven't heard him say a good thing about boooosh.

Dave's been on a real roll with this and is picking up on the drinking angle. Now if we can work in Cheney's girlfriend, we'll have plenty of laughs for weeks to come.

The one I don't watch is Leno...after he became Schawartzengropper's campaign manager. However even he has been brutal on this regime lately.

12. right on! -Thanks for the update
He lost me during King George I
Then he seemed to slam anyone against NAFTA and use soft gloves on the corporate folks.
I can't recall details now...but good that his sharp brain is dissecting these toads.
