"I have the feeling about 60% of what you say is crap." Dave L to O'Reilly

[autorank]

He's just killing him. "I don't think you represent an objective viewpoint."

Now O'Reilly is trying to come back. He's a wimp when he's off his home turm.

O'Reilly: "I'll send you a hat (from "The Factor")
Dave: "Well send Cindy Sheehan a hat."

Damn, Dave did him in.

[priller]

1. Dave was being generous

I would put it closer to 95%.

[Craig3410]

4. Dude, I said the same exact thing!

Same number and all!

[alphafemale]

14. Did I hear right? Paul S. said "You're low-balling."

Dave could barely conceal his contempt.

[peekaloo]

2. "I don't watch your show". LOL

Thank you Dave.

[deadparrot]

3. "Only 60%?"

First words out of my mouth when Letterman said it.

[Left Below]

7. That was the most tension I have seen

on any late-night talk show.

O'Reilly was steaming! Dave had it out for him and it worked great.

[deadparrot]

8. "Yeah, send Cindy Sheehan a hat."

Dave was :grr:.

[autorank]

10. I was tipped on GD about this and turned it on. It was dripping with

tension and scorn. Dave couldn't have shown more contempt. It was like Dave was irritated to have O'Reilly in the same room. Seriously, if Letterman can survive a pissed off Cher and Madonna, O'Leilly is chump change.

Dave :yourock:

[Catch22Dem]

11. I seem to remember a tense moment with Tom Snyder and somebody

Why is this so stuck in my head. Can anyone help? Welcome to DU, by the way! :toast:

[lpbk2713]

34. I used to watch the Colortini Show regularly.

Maybe it will come to me.

[hibbing]

5. ouchie

Dang, I was flipping between him and the game, I should have taped it. It would be nice to have the unedited version of the taping. That was brutal and Dave really made me proud. Leno blows, Dave rules.

Peace

[AwakeAtLast]

6. Ope! Someone's being added to the "list"

I'm beginning to think we should all strive to be added to the "list".

[Tsiyu]

9. Dave smacked him down

SMACKED him down!

It was so damn beautiful, I was whooping and hollering.

When he said "How anyone couldn't feel the utmost empathy for Cindy Sheehan, I mean Jesus Christ" or something to that effect, it was just precious.

I wish Dave had brought up the San Francisco comments the asshole made when O'Lielly said we should be "careful of what we say." Oh, I so wanted to hear Dave say, "Then why did you invite Al Quaida to bomb San Fransisco, you forked-tongued, pasty son-of-a-bitch?"

[NI4NI]

12. Did anyone see

how Dild O'Reilly was nervously shaking his left leg after Letterman zapped him at different times?

[alphafemale]

18. I did. I think O'reilly was a bit blind-sided.

Expecting a softball interview. Plus he lives in a bubble surrounded by the brown-nosers at FAUX.

[Sydnie]

23. Did you notice how he kept saying

"We believe" , "We think", and "Our postion is"? I sure did. He is an owned man.

[alphafemale]

24. Yeah, that FAUX- group-think-speak was glaringly exposed.

O'Reilly probably had no idea that about 70% of people think he's full of shit.

[Lars39]

27. I thought it was kind of creepy the way he suggested

that Dave would get "addicted" to watching him.

[Sydnie]

28. In a half an hour, no less

Gives one pause that there may be some subliminal messages in that show after all, doesn't it?

[alphafemale]

29. It's just O'Lie's overinflated ego talking.

I tune to keep up with what the enemy is up to.

It's more a horrendous lick Bill butt show than anything.

I also disagree with Rush. But at least he has incredible talent for radio that makes him compelling to listen to.

O'Lies just a frightened wannabe.

[Sydnie]

30. I rarely watch him on TV, but before I found AAR, I used to listen

to his radio show when I was commuting. I found anger was a great way to stay awake on a long drive! His radio show is horrendous!

[Lars39]

35. Yes! That's exactly what came to mind.

[Catherine Vincent]

13. Damn!

I hate I missed Letterman tonight!

[autorank]

38. Check it out on Crooks & Liars or whomever has it...

...it's Tiny Tim trying to play in the Big Leagues. Dave is the "smack daddy!"

[oasis]

15. Gotta see Bill's show tommorrow. And listen to Franken, if he's back.

[proud2BlibKansan]

16. And Osama Bill was spouting those lies

about the war on Christmas. Now he claims there are lawsuits in Plano TX because they told kids they couldn't bring red and green paper to school!!

What a fucking dipshit.

[mtnsnake]

17. I've never seen anything like this in my life what Letterman did tonight!

...at least not on a late night talk show or any other TV talk show either, for that matter. Dave simply pulled out all the stops and threw caution to the wind.

Letterman was simply awesome the way he worked over O'Reilly. Knock-out!

[Sydnie]

22. You must have never seen Morton Downey Jr then

He would get right in his guest's faces and scream at them. He was a riot. Pre Springer, but about real hard hitting subjects. They called him "Morton the Mouth". Dave was much calmer and there were no airborne chairs involved tonight! :rofl:

[autorank]

36. That guy was way out there...

Screaming in their face was just part of it. And Downie was very bright.

What Dave did last night was better than Morton in the sense that Dave was massively disrespectful...just told the guy he didn't believe him. O'Reilly looked like a stooge, like he was about to cry. If Downie had taken apart O'Reilly, I'd have bought front row seats, what a pleasure that would be. For Dave, though, it was quite a performance. It was crystal clear that if O'Reilly had acted up, Dave would have done a massive smack down. In retrospect, I think that was the tension.

Cool stuff.

[0007]

19. Man I gotta see this on!

[TlalocW]

20. Never any doubt Dave would do him in

Dave has been on the air in one capacity or another for over half his life, is the consumate professional, and has a show that runs like a well-oiled machine that still allows for a great deal of off-the-cuff remarks. O'Reilly is a scared little boy who has to cut off people's mics when they aren't bowing down in agreement with him.

Dave you are the MAN! thank you for saying what 90% of americans have been dying to say since 12-12-2000 (well thats the first i even heard of fox 'news')

peace

[FreedomAngel82]

25. Yay!

Go Dave! He was awesome in 2004 he had on the same day Green Day and John Kerry. :bounce: He's great!

31. O'Lielly: "I respect your opinion. You should respect mine."

Why? Why the fuck should anyone respect your opinion, O'Reilly? I respect your right to HAVE an opinion, but neither I nor Letterman nor anyone else has to respect the opinion itself.

[autorank]

37. Daves eye rolls were devastating..and you're right, no respect to assholes

:spank:

[XOKCowboy]

33. I wonder if MediaMatters.org will have anything on it tomorrow?

Bill was spewing Talking Points right and left. It'd be nice to see a detailed list of the lies and send them to Dave. :)
