O'Reilly was on Letterman last night. Letterman was not too nice. See it for yourself (about 10 minutes worth) at O'Reillys Site Here
Just saw it on the factor and this is the first time I agreed with Juan and the first time he actually made sense.
It was funny hearing Juan tell O'Reilly "Why didn't you say..."
If this was a "knife fight" as Juan Williams said, Letterman had a very dull knife.
Why? What did Juan say?
I think O'Reilly is a pompous, self-aggrandizing jerk and windbag...
But, then, that kinds describes Letterman, too, now that I think of it.
O'Reilly's "Memo" was about his appearance on Letterman, and he did a segment after that. I was surprised that he didn't mention the pencil in his coffee cup.
Letterman was totally unprepared to discuss or argue with O'R. I am not an O'R fan but less so of Letterman. But poor old David could only make derogeratory comments not based on the issues. He, in essence, just PROCLAIMED O'R to be wrong.
Not very stimulating or positive for L'man.

The Pompus Populist.

I have watched little of him, but enough to conclude that
he has done almost no maturing since high school. The
cardiac thing got his attention for a moment, but only
just a moment.
Leno is a little less cruel than Letterman, but I watch
neither anymore.
I did see this and enjoyed it very much. O'Reilly did a good job. I wrote him a limerick, I was so inspired, and tried to email it to his website, but it looks as though you have to be a member :(
But am I out of line to interpret this petulant little tantrum as evidence that Dave's marriage is on the rocks?
If he didn't, I'm sure his researchers did. I'm sure he has a decent size staff.
I do think that O'Reilly did watch his appearance. Over and over again.
wow...taht is disdainful.
Letterman always plays to the crowd. If his audience were O'Reilly fans, Letterman would have played sweetsie with him instead. But since the majority of his studio audience tend to be the clueless twenty something crowd, he plays to them.
Shoot, I wish they'd scrap 'em all and make it the Brit Hume/Tony Snow channel.
