Letterman, O'Reilly grapple over 'failed policy' in Iraq
Bill O'Reilly, host of FOX News' The O'Reilly Factor, has made his second raucous appearance on CBS's The Late Show with David Letterman.In the appearance, which was taped earlier in the week but broadcast Friday evening, O'Reilly and host David Letterman continued the stick-and-move sarcastic jabbing that marked their first encounter.
At one point, Letterman called O'Reilly a "bonehead" to the audience's delight, before asserting that the reason why Americans are depressed has mostly to do with the "failed policy" of the war in Iraq.
O'Reilly: People are angry about Iraq. And they feel we need a change. And whenever you have a situation where Americans are - I used the word on the Factor tonight, I used the word "depressed." People don't want to watch the news, don't want to hear about Iraq, don't want to hear about Iran, about the nutty North Korean guy. They wanna watch Bowling for Dollars, Dialing for uh the Dancing with the Stars... are you gonna be on that?
Letterman: People are depressed. And rightly so because we have a failed policy and Americans, God bless them, are over there, volunteering to have joined the Army, are over there and giving their lives nearly to the number of 3,000 Americans so far, so yes... people are depressed, but it's not because they want to watch Dancing with the Stars.
