1. Dave gets it.

[KT2000]

3. Yes - Dave has some of the best

interviews with politicians and authors.
He shares our outrage at this mess we are in.

[DWilliamsamh]

2. Thanks for posting this... I will read the book as soon as I am done, Fire Breathing Liberal.

[lxlxlxl]

4. Huh (wipes eyes...pinches self) She was on LETTERMAN!!!!!

Wow.

Do you know how much courage it takes for Letterman to put someone like her on, especially right now? There is enormous pressure to AVOID these issues on the late night shows, and I would never think that Letterman would pick up the ball like this. Bless you or the producer that pushed this idea...

[mucifer]

5. I probably post this too much but you gotta see this 1 min clip Letterman did about cheney

http://youtube.com/watch?v=5W01mMDwqT8

It's 2 years old and the joke is all about his true evilness.

[The Wielding Truth]

7. Yep, they are all a" Big Bowl of Bad"!

[truedelphi]

9. Never saw it before, and it was truly awesome.

Thanks for being relentless!!

[cynthia]

12. I had never seen that one

thanks for sharing - a big bowl of bad - we must never forget

[Highway61]

18. Never saw this

"Big bowl of bad"....thanks for posting

[gateley]

23. Thanks for posting that, mucifer - Right on! nt

[Marie26]

26. LOL!

You don't know whether to laugh or cry. Cheney is like an evil cartoon supervillian.

[underpants]

30. Wow that was Dick in 74 seconds

bad bad bad

[CrispyQ]

32. Thanks. I had not seen that before.

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

6. Well done interview! It looked like CBS edited something out. Makes me wonder.

What could CBS see worse than Letterman talking about trying bush for war crimes?

[navarth]

19. Yeah! What got edited out?? I'd like to know that too.

K & R !! Thanks for posting this.

[Marie26]

25. CBS went to a commercial break

in the middle of the interview. :shrug: Unusual, but I also can't see what could be worse than what they actually broadcast.

[bleever]

8. And, Dave made a point of being the best devil's advocate,

and she shot it all down.

K&R, for some of the most fascinating 9 minutes in network TV in a long time.

[Plucketeer]

10. Dave is cool!

I hope he hangs in there for some time to come. His nightly Great moments in presidential speeches manages to rub the noses of the Bushites in the very doo they put into power. I love it!

[wildbilln864]

11. I'd love to see Dave have Vincent Bugliosi on the show!

And I'd also love to see what was edited out of this video. :hi:

13. "Nazi prisoners,Steak and playing Chess"

That's true!I've read an article about 2 weeks ago saying the same thing:

"We got more information out of a German general with a game of chess or Ping-Pong than they do today, with their torture," said Henry Kolm, 90, an MIT physicist who had been assigned to play chess in Germany with Hitler's deputy, Rudolf Hess."

I have a pretty good imagination and if someone was torturing me,oh boy,what a huge book of

fairytales that scumbag's report would be.

[dailykoff]

14. "90% of what they got out of this program was crap."

I wonder if it's occurred to her yet that that was the whole idea? Personally, I think she's figured it out, but doesn't want to come right out and say it. Great interview anyway!

[Cybergata]

15. Dave is the best!

When the Bush administration started spinning their lies about global warming, Dave had a scientist on who was researching the decline of a species of bird due to global warming. His evidence was pretty conclusive. It was a fascinating interview, and one you wouldn't see on most talk shows. I hope Dave keeps going on for years. Thanks for posting this.

[AntiFascist]

16. K&R, this subject needs MUCH more exposure in the MSM n/t

[Lint Head]

17. Dave always asks questions in the manner that the average person

would. That is why he connects. He should have a separate 'interview' show. He gets information from people that no one can simple by asking questions like anyone would. He doesn't come off as a pretentious journalist or TV reporter. :dem:

[progressoid]

20. Wow, that wasn't just a quick interview either.

He gave her more time than he gives s lot of celebrities. Hell, I think he gave her more time than the interview I heard on NPR!

[Bob Dobbs]

21. busholini's torture policy was NOT about getting info from "terrorists"

It was meant to show the American people what these fascist traitors do to anyone who gets into their way and dares challenge their totalitarian power.

It was meant to cower the American people and to stifle dissent HERE IN AMERICA.

It worked.

[gateley]

22. Who do you think the Dem candidate was who -- off camera --

said that Bush should be tried for war crimes?

I can see Dennis, Gravel, Biden, maybe Dodd saying it. Don't see Richardson or Edwards, IMO. We know it's not Hillary because Letterman referred to "he".\

The reason I ask -- maybe we WILL get something going against Bushco.

[Marie26]

24. It was Edwards

I'm almost sure of it. Letterman called the candidate "he", and said that he's out now. Edwards appeared on Letterman a few months ago, while he was still running for President, and that really seems like something he'd say. As a trial lawyer, Edwards would be most likely to see war crimes trials as a real option. Plus, AFAIK Biden & Kucinich haven't appeared on the Late Show. It's another reason why Edwards would be a great choice for Attorney General.

[gateley]

27. I know for certain Bidden was on Letterman - (link included)

and I'm of the belief they all made an appearance, so it actually could be any of them. Personally, I don't think it would be Edwards, just a gut feeling, but who knows?

[Marie26]

28. You're right

Biden's a good possibility as well.

[underpants]

31. Kucinich was on as well

[valerief]

29. Fabulous interview. Fabulous Letterman. nt

[CrispyQ]

33. Everyone should view this.
