So, the Dwainker pointed me to a video of Bill O'Reilly and David Letterman having a discussion on Letterman's show the other night and all I can say is "Oy." Letterman was trying to nail O'Reilly without any real footing. O'Reilly was just a fucking prick. I mean, come on! The man used to host an entertainment show himself. How can he really be seen as a serious news man. He's the Rush Limbaugh of Fox News. He has no real experience in political news. He's just a prick that a certain politically-aligned part of the country listens to. Okay, my favorite flub of the interview had to be on O'Reilly's part, when he referred to the British Intelligence agency as "M-1-6," which is actually the rifle made by Colt that's been used by the majority of our soldiers have used for the past 30 years, the M-16." He meant MI6, which pretty much anyone who's seen a James Bond movie could tell you. How can you host a polically-minded talk show that is bound to have talked about MI6 once in the past couple of years (due to their involvement in the Iraq Intelligence fiasco) and not know the correct name for it? If Letterman got it wrong, I'd say he was a moron, but that he doesn't really need to ever talk about MI6, so whatever. But O'Reilly? Dumbass who I think Letterman was pretty close about on the percentage of crap in O'Reilly's show. Sixty percent sounds pretty close, but I can only watch about five minutes before I have to puke, so it's difficult to say for certain. Whatever.
Also, I saw The Producers last week and really liked it. However, before the movie, there were trailers for two movies that I really want to see. The first was Thank You for Smoking, which has so many name actors in it that I'm surprised I haven't heard about it before. It looks really funny in that black comedy way. One part that really stuck with me was when the cigarette company representative defended his company to a mother who claimed that their product was killing her son. The line was something along the lines of, "It doesn't make sense for us to poison your son. We want him to live as long as possible so he can continue using our products." Beautiful.
The other movie was American Dreamz, which looks to be a satire of American Idol, George W, and terrorism. With Hugh Grant as the Simon Cowell part and Dennis Quaid as W, it looks really funny.
Well, time for sleep. I could go on, but it's going to be a long 48 hours once I get up in the morning, so I'd better rest up. Yay!
