If you really want to see an Ass in action...too bad that the Letterman is a Hoosier...musta been corrupted by his time in New York.
You were correct in one thing Dave...you ARE'NT smart enough to debate anything of meaningful consequence. O'Reilly is an pompous ass too, but at least he puts out a train of reasoning for his position, and welcomes a debate from those who disagree.
Posted by Delftsman3 at January 6, 2006 12:16 AM | TrackBackLetterman does not come out best in that discussion, he is condescending and pompus. O'Reilly wears me out, he often wins his "debates" by being louder and cutting off the opposition. But for Letterman to proclaim that 60% of what O'Reilly says is bunk, then admit he has never seen the show, is liberal asshattery at its finest.
Now I remember why I usually watch Leno.
Posted by: hoosierboy at January 6, 2006 08:52 AMThankfully I don't watch the night shows and usually switch off O'Reilly too. At least O'Reilly has strong opinions and will jump into a controversy. All too often all they are doing is getting up in the pulpit and preaching to the choir what some writer has prepped for them in the hopes that the congregation will follow along like mindless minions. Like a pro-wrestling match only verbal, it's all for entertainment ratings and not for journalistic accuracy. Factoids if you will, unverified portions of the truth that can be skewed as they please with plausible deniability.
