Letterman Kicks the Crap Out of O'Lie-ly

If you missed the Bill O'Reilly appearance on Letterman Tuesday night, you missed some great entertainment. O'Reilly, known mostly for lying his ass off on cable tv and AM radio each night when he's not busy writing porn novels, or sexually harassing coworkers got a rougher welcome than perhaps even he expected on the Late Show last night.

If you're at work or just feel like reading some highlights, here are some of Letterman's barbs (See the full Transcript here):

Letterman: I'm not smart enough to debate you point for point on this,
but I have the feeling that 60% of what you say is crap.

Letterman: [on O'Reilly's phony "War on Christmas"]: I don't this is an
actual threat. I think this is something that happened here and it happened there and so people like you are trying to make us think that it's a threat.

Letterman: (On Cindy Sheehan) Have you lost family members in armed conflict?

O'Reilly: No, I have not.

Letterman: Well, then you can hardly speak for her, can you? [audience applause]

O'Reilly: I'm not speaking for her. Let me ask you this question.

Letterman: [referring back to O'Reilly's "War on Christmas"] Let's go
back to your little red and green stories.

Letterman: See, I'm very concerned about people like yourself who don't have nothing but endless sympathy for a woman like Cindy Sheehan. Honest to Christ.[audience applause]

O'Reilly: No, I'm sorry.

Letterman: Honest to Christ.

If you did watch the segment, you can read more about a false claim O'Reilly made about elementary school kids changing the lyrics to Silent Night here.

Crooks and Liars did some research of their own and found a quote from O'Reilly regarding his thoughts on Letterman:

"Mr. Letterman is a smart guy who can spot a phony with telescopic accuracy and expects his guests to bring something to the table. If a guest begins to sink on this show, the bottom is a long way down." - Bill O'Reilly in a Feb 27, 2001 column

You know what Bill - for once, I find myself agreeing with you.
