Dave called OxyRush a gasbag to his face when he was on Dave's show a few years back.
He's never appeared on anything but RW TV since that time.

Wasn't buying his swill, either. There's an old saying about having a face made for radio.

It's obvious why Limbaugh works there instead of showing his demeanour and expressions on media because you can see how desperate he is to sell Letterman on his juvenile, bordering on pathological narrative. It shows why he's failed with women.

And as you say, he retreated from any criticism after that and another show where he acted childish when the audience didn't buy his version of reality.

I hope you crosspost this in Videos and Multimedia.

And smelled the horrible stench of his crazy wingnut gloating mixed with the compressed gas of his hypocrisy during the Clinton years. It didn't help that(and still doesn't) i grew up around several repuke types who only enhanced the odor.

Yes. I know the term "repuke" because I've been lurking this site for about 2 years now. Finally joined because there is so much truth on this forum.

Good to be around like-minded people. Maybe i can get my dad to join. He's much better at group discussion than I am. Although he doesn't claim a political side, his views seem to coincide with my own. He was one of the victims of the Reganite 80's who lost his original job, then got rehired at the same job for 1/3 the pay.

Tough times.

Anyways, not intending to change the topic. I'll youtube this Letterman skit later on to see it myself.

Vonnegut and Letterman both came out of the same Indy 'hood.

Based on that success there should be a couple of success stories out of my Phoenix 'hood. To date we are losing two to nothing to Indy.

He caught hell in the beginning, had his mini-surge, and then had the RW establishment openly tell everybody not to vote for him. Glenn Beck singled him out as the only Republican candidate he wouldn't support. Then he finally turned on Fox News for not backing him.

He's the biggest tool out of the whole Republican field. And that's really saying something. When you're making Herman Cain and Michelle Bachmann look like decent folks, you've got a serious problem.
