My Gods! Letterman is on FIRE tonight

[Liberalboy]

He's is skwearing Palin and dragging Brain Williams into it!

[StopTheNeoCons]

1. Brian and David BOTH are taking her downtown

[ErinBerin84]

2. Please, what's Brian Williams saying?

My tv is screwed up!

[Princess Turandot]

4. Dave to Brian Williams: How are you?..

'I'm a maverick, Dave. I'm not going to answer your questions. I don't care what you ask.' (paraphrasing)

Brian Williams: 'My wife compared the debate to seeing two kids playing. Only one's playing with Legos and the other with blocks.'

[Princess Turandot]

9. Also..

Dave to Brian Williams..'shouldn't we worry about her lack of experience?'

Williams: 'You can look at it two ways. Many people no doubt found it refreshing to not see an older white male on stage. The other way to look at it is that it's September 11, 2001. The President is airborne somewhere and the Secret Service won't let him land anywhere, because they don't know what's going on. The VP is in the White House Command Center and effectively in charge. That's part of the job too. People will be making their decisions based on one of those 2 factors.'

11. thanks for the recap

(to both you and the OP poster) :)

[question everything]

22. Yes, this is important observation

I was surprised, thought, that he tried to compare this race to "Eisenhower Kennedy." Kennedy did not run against Eisenhower but against Nixon who was only a couple of years older. Sure, he represented the establishment, but there was no an old experienced soldier vs. the young exciting one.

24. eisenhower/kennedy. what a dunce. Adlai stevenson. One of my

heroes.

[ailsagirl]

15. This is Brian Williams, unscripted. Can't wait to see it!!

[jbnow]

18. Thanks for the sort of quotes, for those of us who missed it! nt

[krkaufman]

26. Ouch!! I wonder if Brian WIlliams isn't smarting from Brokaw bogarting the debate ...

... moderation.

Gotta hand it to him. He summarized the debate pretty damn well in two quick sentences, and in a way that the average person could assimilate.

[Liberalboy]

3. being very diplomatic but clearly has

no love for Palin and her 17 interviews with Couric

[NotThisTime]

6. Oh I've missed it, is there video???

[krkaufman]

27. Good point. She's sat for interviews with both ABC & CBS, now ...

... but no NBC. That can't be making Williams too happy.

BriWi should start doing what Rachel Maddow did... invite her for an interview session -- every night until the campaign relents.

[noel711]

5. He's still ticked off at McCain for pimping out on him...

[dflprincess]

10. I'm loving this

And I really enjoyed when Dave said (paraphrasing) "No, they're not mavericks and I don't see them as agents of change."

[applexcore]

7. This is better than sex

Well...its a tie.

[SwampG8r]

13. been a while has it?

[applexcore]

14. You have no idea.

:(

[TexasObserver]

8. Dave has been on fire for a week now.

[firedupdem]

12. This is really a good show...it's not just jokes, they are actually

talking and it's a really good conversation.

[tridim]

20. I bet his ratings are way up. I haven't watched any late nite TV for years

I'm watching Dave every night now. :)

[krkaufman]

28. I'm kicking myself for not setting up my DVR to catch all his shows.

Dag nabbit.

[abburdlen]

16. I can only hope

his fellow Hoosiers share his opinion of McSame

[krkaufman]

29. Fingers are crossed.

Note the closing sentence in this post at FiveThirtyEight.com...

...

We'll be up in Chicago tonight making Nate pound RCP shooters. Then, Indiana. There's a huge story unfolding in Indiana.

[TheDebbieDee]

17. $hit ! I meant to watch Letterman tonight and I totally forgot !

[tridim]

19. I love how Dave cordially invited both of them back on his show..

and then proceeded to rip them to shreds seconds later. :evilgrin:

[Raschel]

21. Wow, this was worse than the first nite he let her have it.

It was the same as online comments coming right thru my TV. Fantastic.

And I haven't heard Williams throw these kind of jabs before. Palin will regret the day that she attacked the press.

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

23. VIDEO AVAILABLE HERE

[uponit7771]

25. thx

[eshfemme]

30. LOL, Dave hit a perfect storm with his feud with John McCain

The preview of his first rant went viral immediately-- got ONE MILLION HITS in just one day. I'm not surprised to see that he's still on this subject because he has the right to get pissed off. It's not a presidential thing to do to fucking lie in an American's face about the BS that John McCain did.

I'll be looking around for the video clip of the Dave Letterman and Brian Williams interview. Sounds like fun!

[DCBob]

31. Letterman could destroy McCain. Keep it up Dave!!

Nobody disses with Letterman and gets away with it.

[Billy Burnett]

32. Still, Brain Williams will vote for McBlame.

He's a dyed in the wool repig.

Just lookin' out for #1 (tax cuts for the rich).
