O'Reilly in Dave's Moonbat Cave

Posted by Dave Blount at January 4, 2006 9:52 PM

David Letterman has a gift for smirking and acting cute, but intellectual debate with anyone sharper than a movie star is clearly not his forte, as Bill O'Reilly made clear by walking into his cave of moonbats last night. It doesn't seem O'Reilly won over the studio audience, but he certainly made it clear that Letterman was correct to say, "I'm not smart enough to debate you point to point."

To give an idea of the caliber of people O'Reilly was subjecting himself to, before he appeared, Letterman stirred a pencil around in his guest's coffee; then the audience laughed when O'Reilly drank from it (the Political Teen has video of this sordid scene).

NewsBusters has a transcript of the following conversation, as well as more video (hat tip: Bergbikr).

The transcript doesn't include Letterman's haughty dismissal of the war on Christmas, but does feature his appalling devotion to perhaps the most contemptible human being in public life, the woman who embraced her own son's killers in an attempt to trade his honor for 15 minutes in the spotlight, Mother Moonbat herself, Cindy Sheehan.

"How can you possibly take exception with the motivation and the position of someone like Cindy Sheehan?" wondered Letterman, in all seriousness.

O'Reilly took issue with Sheehan's characterization of Islamic terrorists as "freedom fighters." Letterman responded by righteously declaring that he didn't understand what the war was about and quickly returned to wondering how anyone could fail to join him in his worship of Saint Cindy:

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.

The audience ate it up. Letterman then worked some more applause from the crowd by asserting that 60 percent of what his guest was saying was crap. He followed this by accusing O'Reilly's show of not being objective, before being forced to admit to not having watched it.

It was like watching a dim-witted child try to make fun of an adult in front of his even dimmer-witted friends.

Blaming David Letterman for being a jerk and a fool would be like blaming a frog for being slimy. But shouldn't his handlers know enough to keep anyone with an IQ above 80 off his show?
