I knew the mentally wanting RWers would twist and shout when it came to the stomping O'Lielly took at the hand of David Letterman last night. Here it is, in living color, from two sources.

O'Reilly beats Letterman at neither man's game
By Marc Chavannes
The blurring of the lines that existed between journalism and political activism is so generalized you sometimes forget there once was a difference. Millions of people eased into the habit of getting their news from non news sources and happily opined ever after.
Yesterday's Late Show managed to get the confusion in the public arena one stage further. David Letterman had invited Fox's lion king Bill O'Reilly into his own soft humor den. The exchange can be seen here and here. For a while the famed wordsmiths blew lukewarm air at each other.
Halfway through the exchange Letterman got himself into a corner, conceded he was not smart enough to argue his case but darted out, through a wall of O'Reilly noise, that he thought 60% of the Factor man's usual speechifying was 'crap'. O'Reilly demanded proof. Letterman found no better answer than: I don't watch your show. He was toast ever since.

Letterman to O'Reilly: 'I'm Not Smart Enough' to Debate War
It didn't take long for fireworks to erupt last night when Fox News Channel's Bill O'Reilly guested on David Letterman's "CBS Late Show," with the late night host finally admitting he wasn't "smart enough" to engage in a debate over the Iraq war.
