"I like how you think, senator," cooed "Late Show" host David Letterman in agreement with John Edwards's charge that "most of what" Fox News Channel host Bill O'Reilly says "is crap."
Letterman had asked the former senator about his "feud" with O'Reilly over Edwards's charge that the Bush administration is failing to care for military veterans to the extent that hundreds of thousands are winding up homeless.
The exchange came in a jovial January 22 interview in which Edwards joked about having Letterman as his running mate, or at the very least as a celebrity endorser a la Oprah Winfrey.

DAVID LETTERMAN, host of "Late Show": You know what I've noticed about Bill O'Reilly, and, and he's a marvelous communicator, but he doesn't really care much about telling the truth.
Former Sen. JOHN EDWARDS (D-N.C.): Yeah, I've noticed the same thing.
LETTERMAN: Very entertaining. And I like when he's on the show, but, if you say one thing--
EDWARDS: Most of what he says is crap.
LETTERMAN: I think you're right, there you go. Exactly. Um, I like how you think, senator."

January 23, 2008 - 16:32 ET by ricklailHow much longer are we going to have to put up with this idiot? I wish he would take that wife of his who was so sick several months ago and crawl back under their rock. That has got to be the height of hypocracy for him to say what O'Reilly says is crap. He seems to forget all the BS that he spouted in courtrooms to win large judgements from doctors and hospitals based on a bunch of crap. I have absolutely now use for the Breck Boy. He is just breathing up good air that someone else could be breathing.

How many homeless vets would Edwards be willing to put up?
January 23, 2008 - 16:41 ET by Gary Hall29,000 SF. I suspect that most homeless folks would be rather pleased to have 500 SF to call home. And inside of a monolith energy consumer to boot. Edwards should be willing to offer about 58 of these homeless vets a place to warm their weary cold bones? Perhaps O'Reilly can invite him and Letterman on his show and put 'em up to it. Letterman? Hmm - he must have some extra floor space as well, one might think.

Ken, perhaps O'Reilly could have challenged Edwards....
January 23, 2008 - 16:53 ET by Gary HallKen, perhaps O'Reilly could have challenged Edwards in a different context.
I'd have to assume, lacking any data, that whatever the number of homless vets may be, that it is not substantially different today than it has been over the years. We see numbers in this Veterans Administration statement that are estimates based on general population, social and demographic trends. Perhaps the number was about the same in 2000. Certainly then, whatever the number, and whether or not O'Reilly or Edwards has a better clue as to why they are homeless, they'd both agree that it is just as tragic and uncomfortable.
Uncomfortable? I'll wager that Edwards would not have been very interested in talking about it during the 2000 election, seeing as there was Democrat still in the white house. Bet he wasn't so worried about the millions fixin to loose their jobs as a result of the 2000 meltdown and coming recession, either.
Politics - it shames those who play this game of blame.
Does O'Reilly ever mention Edwards?
January 23, 2008 - 16:55 ET by Lame CherryI was puzzled by the Letterman Edwards delusion fest as O'Reilly has important topics on his program and Edwards is the Al Gore jr. of the race keeping the seat warm for daddy.
Every time O'Reilly goes on Letterman he trounces the Dave........but then that is the heart of this in Letterman hates all the people who actually get up and accomplish something.
Look at Dave..........Johnny Carson picked him and Johnny was wrong as Dave is no Carson in comedy, interviews nor in being a king maker in liberalism.
All Dave is IS an old fart, washed up, second place finisher to Leno and Conan.......he is not as good as Craig Ferguson and is loosing out to Kimmel in the younger audience. Letterman is angry and is showing his true prick form.
I would hope that Conservatives all simply just quit CBS New York, Ferguson is fine on the west coast as Ann Coulter kept him in line.......but forget the morning whiners to Letterman.
CBS should simply get rid of Letterman and put in Craig Ferguson and work on some nice Carson, Parr or Allen to replace him.
Letterman is just mean and Edwards is just looking like the prom queen 40 years after the face lift sags.

That substance abuse, and/or mental illness are the root causes.
And he backed this up with experts in the field. I guess Edwards takes exception to that.

Examples, please, or your comment is worthless.
The Breck Girl has been criticized for his "2 Americas" scam by looking at his lavish mansion where he chooses NOT to associate with his much less well-off neighbors. He has also been criticized for his being a consultant to an investment firm or whatever that he considers part of the "America" screwing the poor. Also, he has been called out for his high speaking fees to, guess what, speak about the "2 Americas!" And, he was roundly criticized for a.) hiring two vile women to be his campaign bloggers and b.) being slow to ask them to step down.
It is plain to see that Edwards is only in the campaign to serve the far left wingnuts like media matters, moveonorg and the daily kos, and, of course, to get their money, too.

Of course Wildcat
January 24, 2008 - 16:27 ET by candanceJohn Edwards's record of helping the poor includes suing big bad corporations...like the Red Cross...think about that Jer...next time you give money to the Red Cross or United Way...that money could end up being used to pay off a court settlement instead of going directly to the poor...thanks to people like John Edwards.
Not to mention the day John Edwards toured New Orleans to show pity for those who lost their homes...but failed to mention of his biggest contributers was a company who foreclosed on thousands of homes in New Orleans and Edwards had no intention of returning their contribution money so they could save a few homes with it.
Let's also mention Edwards's interview to Beliefnet when he said "I think that Jesus would be disappointed in our ignoring the plight of those around us who are suffering" and even as he said these words, dozens of his own neighbors who lived in a trailer park across the street said they had never even met Mr. Edwards and did not believe he gave a fart about their plight.
I lived in NC when John Edwards was "fighting for the poor" and I can tell you with certainty I never saw him do one.single.thing to change the plight of a poor person. He took up lawsuits for middle class families who could afford to pay for lawyers and effectively made all of his rich friends richer, widening the gap between his own self and the other America he claimed to help.
He's nothing but a lying, sleazy, manipulating lawyer who looks out for #1 while condemning everyone around him.
Do You Realize...
January 26, 2008 - 17:32 ET by Wildcatter1980that John Edwards has done more to harm medical care for women than any good he is "claiming" to have done?
He successfully sued on behalf of a couple and their baby born with a birth defect. What was the crux of the suit? That the doctor's actions resulted in the birth defect, yet at the time the consensus medical opinion was that the particular birth defect is not caused by the doctor's actions.
My source for this it Bernard Goldberg's book, 100 People Who Are Screwing Up America. I got it from the library some time ago, so I do not have it to refer to. I believe the case was concerning the doctor's performance of a C-section to deliver the baby. Despite no medical basis for linking the performance of a C-section to causing cerebral palsy, Edwards was able to win a judgment against the defendants for "causing" the baby's birth defect. As Goldberg wrote in his book, Edwards had to search far and wide to find an expert witness to support his case. The net effect of this is that people entering the medical profession are avoiding specializing in OB and GYN because of high malpractice insurance and the high potential of malpractice litigation.
Does anyone still think Edwards is being treated unfairly?
Just my $0.02

January 24, 2008 - 21:48 ET by JerExamples...or my comment is worthless? Why, do you think I'm making this up?
As I've said several times, I have been a regular viewer of O'Reilly for years. Have you? Quick quiz: Who are the three candidates O'Reilly has endorsed for office [after claiming that he never makes political endorsements]?
I'll make a deal with you Wildcatter. Review the transcripts of The Factor for the past 18 months, and if you can show me that O'Reilly's derogatory attacks against the "Breck Girl" didn't begin until after, or have been limited to, the veterans issue, or that he has verbally abused any of the major Republican candidates in a similar manner, I will gladly pay whatever costs you may have incurred to obtain the transcripts, plus $500.00 to you or a charity of your choice. Fair enough?
True, BOR for years regularly bashed Hillary, but has eased up some during this campaign. [He leaves the Clinton trashing to (as he describes him) his politcal "go to guy"--and professional Clinton hater--Dick Morris.
But, he has engaged in relentless attacks on Edwards. Last Thursday, on the Dhue Report [did you see it?], Laurie Dhue made an explicit reference to it, noting that O'Reilly had accused Edwards of being a "phony", a "liar", a "charlatan", a "crazed ideologue" and a "loon". Mr. Fair and Balanced...I'm not pushing any ideology O'Reilly couldn't deny it since she had the quotes in front of her.
So, prove me wrong Wildcatter.

Take of the Tinted Eye Glasses
January 26, 2008 - 17:09 ET by Wildcatter1980Jer,
Where are your documented examples of O'Reilly smearing Edwards? The answer is you cannot cite them because they have not occurred.
It is not a smear IF what is being reported ARE facts. When you see a consistent pattern to those factual cases, it justifies a news analyst drawing conclusions about the individual involved.
I, too, have watched TOF regularly for quite a few years. That is why I know that O'Reilly has not smeared Edwards as you are trying to claim. He has properly reported the facts about Edwards. As those facts have built up over the course of the campaign, O'Reilly has drawn appropriate conclusions about Edwards. I cited other examples in my first post all of which can be documented.
However, I will provide you one example. Here is a link to coverage of Amanda Marcotte, one of the vile women Edwards hired (and then fired) as his campaign bloggers. Where Edwards looked bad with regard to this is that a.) he (or his staff) failed miserably to properly vet Marcotte and Melissa McEwan and b.) for proceeding to "drag his feet" when their vitriol was being exposed on the right wing blogs. For a "so-called" Christian, Edwards' selection of these two women with their vile ravings at American Christians readily available was the worst possible choice he could have made. Why did Edwards drag his feet before telling the 2 of them they had to resign? Because he is in the pocket of the far left wingnuts/netroots, that's why. It was only when it became apparent that keeping them on would be more trouble than it was worth, were they "forced" to resign.
In a battle of wits, you, sadly, are unarmed. My guess is you will simply deny that O'Reilly is reporting the facts and drawing legitimate conclusions based on those facts about Edwards so keep your money and use it instead to buy yourself more Kool Aid. I have the facts on my side and to take your money would be like taking candy from a baby.
Edwards IS a charlatan and liar and a "hired gun" of the far left wingnuts/nutroots who will only stay in the campaign so long as Georgie-boy Soros is willing to foot the bill.

Why do I watch TOF? Because I know O'Reilly will not let any of his guests get away with making outrageous statements without being challenged to back those statements up with facts. He also will not allow his guests filibuster in an attempt to block out other(s) points of view.
I think what you consider being obnoxious is a necessary evil given that each block is only 5 or so minutes long. O'Reilly has to make sure his guests make their points in a pithy manner along with their showing the basis for a given point of view so that we viewers can have sufficient information to draw our own conclusions.

January 23, 2008 - 17:26 ET by candanceHe's only averaging 14% in his home state of SC. Thus badly needing some CPR for his campaign he has to reinvigorate his fans by bashing BOR. Attacking Ann Coulter didn't get him anywhere so this time he's choosing a new target.
Please NB, do me a favor and stop referring to Edwards as the former Senator from NC. He successfully sued everyone from the Red Cross to private hospitals and amassed a fortune of some $20 million, which he used to run for Congress because states were passing laws to stop him and he didn't like it. He served in the Senate for 4 years before effectively abandoning his seat and asking Erskine Bowles to come down and replace him.
IMO that does not qualify him to be known as a Senator from North Carolina.

Incidentally, in the recent past Letterman himself told O'Reilly that "about 60% of what you say is crap" on Late Show. Edwards can't even come up with his own lines, and the two of them don't even try to hid their mutual ass-kissing. Haven't watched Letterman in years -- he's not funny anymore, even when he isn't bashing non-liberals.
The pot who called the kettle black
January 23, 2008 - 18:15 ET by marpelDuring the Dem debate that took place before this last "slug fest", I saw how John Edwards tried to inject himself into the conversation of growing up in the South and feeling what blacks felt during that time. First of all, he has no clue what blacks felt growing up in the South before civil rights. I grew up in the South before civil rights. I remember the signs on the restaurants that said, "No Colored Allowed". Even though I saw the signs, I didn't know how the blacks felt. I knew how I felt...I just feel Edwards needs to shut up and just go away. It would do us and him a big favor.

He is a horrible interviewer, so I can understand why he believes that O'Reilly is full of crap; Letterman just does not understand!!
As far as Edwards is concerned, I wonder if he is aware of the facts that more than 90% of homeless people are homeless because of drug abuse or mental illness. "Hundreds of thousands" of them end up homeless. Interesting. Just like the "verterans come back as murderers" front-page article in the New York Times recently, veterans are far, far less likely to end up being homeless or as murderers than their age cohort (18-34) of non-veterans in America. Of course, liberals never do let the facts get in the way of a good charge against conservatives.
To quote Bill O'Reilly, Edwards is a charlatan and irrelevant, and that is definitely not crap. He should go back to S.C. , enjoy his mansion and continue making huge sums of money foreclosing on poor peoples' homes.

January 23, 2008 - 18:45 ET by jdhawkLiberals bid to get the veterans' vote:
"Veterans are murdering our citizens in droves . . ."
"Verterans are homeless by the hundreds of thousands . . ."
Meanwhile, I work at one of the largest banks in our country. Here, we have a special task force to foster increased contact with military personnel that are either retiring or are just leaving the service. The reason: they make GREAT employees. They are on time, dress sharp, loyal, and know how to manage people, time, material, and money.
To demonstrate what high esteem we hold them in, if they are deployed as part of a National Guard or Reserve unit, we continue full pay and benefits during their entire deployment period as do many corporations across the country.
Our only problem with veterans: we can't get enough of them - the competition for them is fierce.
Meanwhile, the "silky pony" is a wealthy man. If he was so concerned about the "plight" of veterans, why didn't he take up their cause while he was a senator or in between campaigning for the presidency? Instead, he worked at a hedge fund. And get this, so he could learn about poverty???

January 24, 2008 - 02:50 ET by jdhawkMy point, goldbar, is that far and away veterans offer much that the civilian communities in which they live can draw. They lead healthy productive lives. They are a communities strength not its burden as the "silky pony" attempts to catergorize us as.
And my original charge stands, the "silky pony" did nothing for verterans while he was a senator (he served a state that has bases of all five of the services representated). And, when he had the time to do something, as an ordinary citizen, he chose to further fatten his wallet instead.
No wonder he's running a losing campaign . . . again.
