Just saw it on the factor and this is the first time I agreed with Juan and the first time he actually made sense.
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.
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?
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.
Once a person grows up and becomes more mature, Leno and Letterman become unwatchable. O'Reilly may have his "no spins zone" but Dave and Jay's single digit I.Q. zone is really something else.
Letterman lives in a totally clueless bubble.
Bill O'Reilly, you did a FABULOUS JOB!!! SHEER EXCELLENCE!!!
My jaw is still on the floor after witnessing such a BRILLIANT performance.
You had him at hello! ;-)
Letterman: "I'm not smart enough to debate you point by point, but I get the feeling that about 60% of what you say is crap."
This is what passes for wit these days? What a lamebrain.
O'Reilly had Juan Williams, of all people, on his show tonight discussing the Letterman thing. Juan Williams actually defended President Bush against Letterman. Williams complained that Letterman was trying to blame only President Bush for the "bad" WMD intelligence but dismissed the fact that several other countrys' intelligence organizations had the same intelligence.
Actually Letterman mad an ass out of himself. He is absolutely not the sharpest knife in the drawer. O'Reilly let him hang himself with his own words, and then spanked him where it hurt most. Letterman is fuming with hate for Bill O'Reilly and GW Bush. He has seen his best days!!! He is both skewered and fried!!! Letterman is now nothing but an empty suit!!!
Letterman said that we shouldn't have gone to war on flawed intelligence but why do they always turn the debate to this point , its moot?
Iraq was breaking the UN resolutions; Iraq was trying to shoot down on planes in the fly zone, and paying suicide bombers. Saddam's war regime had a history of attacking neighboring countries and mass murdering his own civilians, so under the authority of the leftists own charter the UN the US not only had the right, but as the most powerful member of the UN, the US had a moral responsibility to do something.
Flawed intelligence.. yea but perhaps Letterman and is audience are the only ones with that problem.
Just watched that, and Holy Shit! David Letterman is an ass!
Just confirms why I've never been able to watch him.
He's best suited to covering himself in velcro and throwing himself against a wall, talking animals, stuff like that.
Dave's just a ratings whore. He slammed Hillary for weeks, but when she appeared on his show she had him eating out of her, uh, lap. He pulled exactly the same stunt with Oprah. The best thing Dave could do would be to take his millions, retire and marry his son's mother.
How disappointing. I'm not O'Reilly's biggest fan, but I really used to love Letterman. What a boob, what a tool, what a jerk.
Bitterly disappointing.

Letterman sucks. He hasn't been funny for a long time.
Ole Bill on the She-Man thing should simply of pointed out that it was the father in-fact WHO raised Casey and it was also his third tour, plus for this good grieving mother to lose child custody in a state like California My God she has to be a real world-class loser!!
Don't know if you all saw it, but Scarborough just defended O'Reilly.
