whatever.
In my opinion Letterman was "knocked out" when he wiffed on his first punch.
As I have watched this clip a half dozen times.....this was about as bad of an "attack" job since Rosie O'pig had Tom Selleck on her show.
DL couldn't wait to to ask "did you have a "happy holiday".
When BO'R came back with "I had a nice winter solstice". Letterman looked like his night was ruined. He almost instantly became confrontational.
BO'R gives an example of a Memphis library that won't allow the baby Jesus in a manger scene and all DL can say is, "I don't believe it. I don't believe it."
Then in the close for him to say he can't give examples because he doesn't watch the show was as lame as the conservatives saying Michael Moore's movie sucked and in the same breathe say they never saw it.
Take away the applause from the audience who supported Lettermen through most of the exchange, and Lettermen sounds pretty pathetic actually.
Look....I am no fan of BO'R. And I have been a fan of Letterman since before he had his morning show on NBC. DL made an ass of himself.
