Did anyone else see David Letterman call Bush a smug SOB last light?

[Melodybe]

He did one of his stupid Bush clips and after the segment Dave looked at the camera and said, "In all honesty, he really is a smug SOB, isn't he?" It was pretty funny, it was not a joke, Dave meant it.

I love that Letterman can't fucking stand Bush.

1. .

Letterman has hated Bush since 2000. During the 2000 primaires, he used to say that he suspected that Bush was a "colossal boob." Needless to say, he was right.

8. I think he's disliked Bush...

...ever since Bush came on his show and made a heart pun and a joke about heart surgery...three or four days after Dave came back from his surgery.

11. also

Also, remember when Bush was on back before the 2000 elections, and during one of the commercial breaks a woman from Dave's staff came out to give something to Dave. She was standing next to Chimpy, and he reached over and used her shirt to clean his reading glasses. Un-freaking-believable!!!

[CottonBear]

12. * did that? That is so rude. I missed that.

:mad:

[wicket]

14. he sure did, it was un-freakingbelievable!!!

19. Thanks for the link. Amazing.

We have the stupidest AND the rudest president ever.
Arghhhh!

[Stephanie]

15. I remember that - Dave said "what does compassionate conservative mean?"

And the Chimp was on remote and he started to snicker and he said, "well, it means that when we cut your chest open, that we sew it back up again, heh heh heh." And there was this stunned silence in the room. It was such an awful, awful thing to say. Freaking idiot Chimp.

2. Dave is not a shrinking violet

he says what he thinks..:)Go Dave !!!

[jdj]

3. then I bet they'll get Bush to replace Leno just to spite Dave.

they seem to really have it out for him.

[Avalux]

4. Could Dave be our nominee??

It's a thought......

[Melodybe]

5. No, just like Jon Stewart Dave knows he is a comedian

I'm sure he has no desire to ever run for office.

I love him just the same.

[jdj]

6. yeah, why take a pay cut?

lol.

[Jandar]

7. Thats a pity, I'm sure he's Connecticut resident. n/t

[flygal]

9. I heart Dave

:loveya:

[dbt]

10. I boot thread.

[Kingofalldems]

13. Bush also

wiped his glasses on the clothing of a producer.

[earth mom]

16. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE DAVE!

:loveya:

He Rocks! He consistantly puts down * and it is just the greatest! Also, Dave has tried many times to HONESTLY and BRUTALLY discuss * with guests...Howard Stern and Dan Rather come to mind...and it was SO aggravating because they just skirted the issue! I think they're both a bunch a wusses! Dave has guts! He's my kind of guy!

We should elect Dave for President! :bounce:

18. Saw Stern on Letterman's show a while back

He was talking about the fines the FCC had imposed on him and how he was moving to satellite radio as kind of a poke in the eye to broadcast radio. Stern wasn't a shrinking violet that night--he was slamming everybody in the * administration, especially Michael Powell.

It always impresses me that Dave can do the "Hey, tell us about your new movie" back-slapping, good-to-see-you kind of interview, but he can really ask some tough, pointed questions when the interview calls for them.

And as for last night, I just wish I'd seen it! Go Dave!

[earth mom]

21. I saw Stern too

and IMO he was more concerned with his move to Sirius and getting people to buy into that then talk about *. Dave kept trying to talk about * and Stern kept turning it into a conversation about the FCC and Sirius. I felt frustrated watching the interview, because Stern was repeating himself, not letting the conversation flow and discuss what Dave was trying to discuss.

17. Draft Dave to run against Lieberman.. he's even got money

:)

He would be a hoot to watch on cspan :)

[Joey Liberal]

20. Letterman has guts - Leno is spineless

I love Letterman. I guess the Swift Boat Veterans will go after him........
