Never saw the interview till now....who the hell in here said that Letterman tore O'Reilly up? I'm no big fan of either but Letterman sure didn't get a big win.

That cut into the interview. I saw the whole thing, live, but I didn't give a shit about it. Thanks, for the instant replay, though. :smokin:

The thing that got me is that Letterman was defending C. Sheehan and O'Reilly ended up getting the applause from Letterman's audiance. No big fan of either but watching it really contradicted what was said here at the time of the interview.

They cut the whole section when O'Reilly was going on about the Xmas songs in school stuff - most of which has been shown to be inaccurate. Letterman didn't even know this, sensed it was bullshit, and changed the topic. You'd have a better idea of the tone of the program had the beginning been left in.

Now, the Yippie co-founder that just died early this week, Stew Albert, would have cleaned O'Reilly's clock in ANY debate. Stew had his head busted open by the cops at the Chicago Democratic convention police riot in 1968 - and was one of the main people that helped get rid of the draft in the United States. I didn't agree with much of Stew's politics, or everything he said and did in his life, by a longshot - but O'Reilly would be a sitting duck for a guy like him. No-Spine O'Reilly would rather pick on mothers whose sons lost their lives than a man who devoted his whole life to what he believed in, and had the scars to show for it.

As far as I'm concerned the press in general gives into to her everytime they have another debate or news article. She's hooked on the headlines. AT ONE TIME she WAS a grieving mother....her family and husband have pretty much told the public what she's about now.
Just my opinion!:thumbsup:

O'Reilly is alot funnier. I dought either of them would take that as a complement. Nor should they.

This is unprecedented: Two Jewish guys from the same area in Brooklyn, and now on the same thread here - Stew Albert (died this week) and Andrew Clay Silverstein (AKA Andrew Dice Clay)! The "Diceman" moved to Jersey.

Here's an article from the Jewish.co.uk website's magazine feature Something Jewish: More from Where are Jew now:

Andrew ??Dice?? Clay
by: Caroline Westbrook

In the late 80s and early 90s, Andrew ??Dice?? Clay made a name for himself as one of the most controversial US comedians around.
Not only was he renowned for his ??adult?? nursery rhymes and close-to-the-bone humour, he also achieved the feat of being banned from music video channel MTV for life after unleashing a stream of swear words at the station??s Music Awards in 1989. But what??s he up to these days?

Well, New York native Clay, who was born plain old Andrew Silverstein in 1958, has spent the last decade dividing his time between stage and screen. As well as continuing the stand-up comedy he??s also appeared in a number of films including 1990??s The Adventures Of Ford Fairlane, the 1995 comedy Jury Duty and One Night At McCool??s in 2001 (which saw him playing twin brothers, co-starring with Matt Dillon, John Goodman and Liv Tyler).

Visitors to Las Vegas, meanwhile, have the chance to see his controversial act for themselves; he??s currently the main attraction at the Stardust hotel, located on the city??s main strip. Vegas to me was someplace I always wanted to headline because I just find the place extremely exciting?, he admits. Not bad going for someone who began his career drumming in Bar Mitzvah bands. ??I was known as Andrew Clay Silver then,? he recalls, ??And then when I went into comedy I went under the name Andrew Clay. The ??Dice?? thing just happened?.

When he??s not entertaining the casino crowds, he lives in New Jersey with his second wife Kathleen Monica, mother of his two sons Max and Dylan, and confesses to leaving the crude humour behind when he goes home. ??I??m a family man in my personal life,? he say.
