David Letterman, at the risk of ratings, stuck it to Bill O'Reilly on "The Late Show" January 3, 2006. Letterman was funny, yet delivered an important message. He exposes the ridiculousness of O'Reilly's arguments. Letterman expressed sympathy for Cindy Sheehan, who lost her son in the Iraq war. By doing so, he exposed O'Reilly's nonsensical arguments. O'Reilly considers Sheehan a puppet of left-wing radicals and accuses her of sympathizing with the insurgents in Iraq. Letterman sees Sheehan as a grieving mother, who exerted her right to freedom of speech. In my opinion, Mr. Letterman's take on Ms. Sheehan is more accurate than Mr. O'Reilly's.
