Letterman was VERY friendly to the Bush administration after 9/11. I remember him using the phrase, about Chaney, Bush, and Rumsfeld, "They're the real deal!" A lot of people that felt the same way are now asking themselves what exactly the "deal" really is.

Letterman is a conservative to moderate millionaire that doesn't usually stick his neck out - for ratings, arguments, or anything other than doing his job of entertaining. Even BORE knows that, but insists on claiming that his patriotism is superior. The Dubya of today has not matured much, in many ways has regressed backwards, and BORE is just fighting a losing battle by trying to get back the support for Dubya that is now fading fast - not just with Letterman, but a large segment of the American people that voted for him as well.

I don't think that it's going to go any better for the No-Spine Zone, either.
The more fed-up people get with Dubya, the less they are to believe, or watch, apologists and sympathizers like O'Reilly.
