Letterman vs. O'Reilly, Part II

Bill O'Lielly was on David Letterman earlier this year (I think, or late last year), and the two went round and round, about Cindy Sheehan (more on her in a post later today), the War in Iraq, President Bush, etc., and it was pretty entertaining.

Naturally, I was pretty happy to hear that there would be a Round 2. Well, it didn't disappoint. To be fair, O'Lielly got in his licks, too, and brought up a few good points, but I'd give this one to Letterman in a split decision - it was no knock-out, though. Bill's a good debater, and he knows how to handle Letterman; it's obvious O'Lielly was well prepared. But, Letterman stood his ground and isn't intimidated, and that's no small feat against a brow beater like Bill. O'Lielly is a lot like President Bush - guys I'd very much like to like, but I just can't because of their ideology.

But, in the end, these two guys engaged in spirited but largely civil political discourse, and it seems like that's in short supply these days. Well done, men.
