ABCMan vs. The Potato Eater

I just watched Letterman and O'Reilly go at it. Some time ago I saw Letterman run from Terry Bradshaw and hide when he razzed him and Terry stood up and motioned towards him. Letterman had metioned that Bradshaws big hands scared him.

David tore into O'Reilly though. He held up Cindy Sheehan as an idol to be honored and when Bill said that while she was grieving, the liberals were taking advantage of her and exploiting her for their own purposes (I'm paraphrasing here...) which I think they are.

Letterman asked Bill if he has any kids. "One, about the same age as yours" was Bills reply. Then DL asked if he lost any in combat. "No" was BO's reply. DL then went on to tell BO that he was dishonoring her. BO's response was that CS was dishonoring everyone who had lost anyone to a Muslim. I took this to be every US Serviceman who's died or been wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan as well as the 3,000+ New Yorkers who died September 11, 2001.

Score one for Bill.

DL then ripped BO for PBJ admitting that he acted on flawed data as if he did it on purpose. BO listed the other nations that provided similar data. He failed to point out that the UN and the Clinton Administration, both, stated that Saddam Hussein had WMD.

BO shoulda hit DL with this.

Then DL went on to admit that he didn't really know anything and was speaking based on his feelings. BO shoulda pointed out that this is typical liberal motivation and activity in that Liberals act based on their feelings, facts be damned, and as long as they feel that they are doing something that is important, even if they are harming the very cause they claim to support.

Again this was another opening that BO missed hitting DL with.

DL kinda wound it up with stating that BO's viewpoint was "just crap." Kinda rude for a host and a response like this suggests a 5th grade ability for DL to handle conflict which is inline with his liberal behavior and beliefs.

All this followed BO mentioning that the "honored tradition of Christmas" is under organized attack in this country, which of course DL poo pooed and tried to play down.

It was some good tv. Entertaining, conflict where you don't expect to see it and it had one of the elements that I think makes a good movie, a good guy vs. a bad guy and the good guy won. Maybe not a clear victory, but he won by decision (and I'm sure the weenie liberals are telling each other that DL cleaned the stage with BO, but then again, their argueing skills probably don't go much farther than telling someone that their viewpoint 'is crap' either).
