O'Reilly: 60% crap

Depending who you ask, either talk radio host Bill O'Reilly had his hat handed to him by talk TV host David Letterman last night or Letterman conceded that he was too dumb to argue with O'Reilly. The high (low?) point came when Letterman told O'Reilly, «I'm not smart enough to debate you point to point on this, but I have the feeling that 60% of what you say is crap.»

News Hounds says Letterman was «not impressed» when O'Reilly told several «tales not worth repeating» about the War on Christmas, including a discredited account of a school forcing kids to change the words to Silent Night.

But in a Certain Slant of Light, Letterman's behavior simply looked boorish:

We usually find him entertaining, witty, and the quintessential, disarming rascal of the late night television scene. While he's not even close to being the equal of Johnny Carson, he's head-and-shoulders more entertaining than Jay Leno and rises above the bawdiness and Vegas lounge show scruples of his NBC counterpart.

Last night, however, David Letterman set a new low in rude, boorish behavior for a talk show host in his ill-mannered treatment of his first guest, Fox News' Bill O'Reilly.

The Political Teen has the video.
