Letterman not funny. Your nom de plume(sp) there Average, may be a bit of a stretch. Know what I mean, Vern. Well, maybe not....CFF

[ThirdSection]

Alright Dave, you only have seven months to milk this one. Make every moment count!

[Rendon76]

Creepy funny. But there's nothing funny about the blood and lives that have been consumed in this war so that his buddies could be more rich today.

[brendanm]

Why so many Cheney defenders here?

[Nova16]

Dick Cheney is a "funny" guy not like in humor, but more like "weird" type funny. Humor cannot emit from a snarling, growling demeanor any more than light can emit from a black hole. The people of West Virginia must be rollicking over this joke pointed at them because it was their support that gave Cheney the opportunity to be such a comedian.

[Economike]

But little cheney on the show little bush is pretty funny.

[teemunney]

rana rana rana regular dane cook rana rana.

[jimmyjones22]

It's called syniscism

[labstellamom4]

He's hilarious.......like the plague !!!! Nothing a little intervention or impeachment couldnt purge from the American experience!! Wanna make an impression on the masses....bring someone to trial for treason !!! Would warm the heart !!

[ThirdSection]

He was better when he appeared on Family Guy as a Wal-Mart greeter.

[Tzu]

I fail to see humor in anything that has lead this country into such a human tragedy. Making fun of it is in poor taste. Ask yourself this, if you were laying in Walter Reed Army Medical Center, with your legs blown off, would it be funny?

Remember Bush at the 2004 White House Correspondents Dinner making fun of not finding Weapons of Mass destruction?

See very unfunny link below:

sometimes it's all we can do....it explains the popularity of the daily show and colbert report.

[c1ee]

Laughing about that doesn't mean we are not taking things seriously. It means we don't take what Cheney or Bush says very seriously, but that's not to say it diminishes the seriousness of the issues.

[GotRights]

Ridicule is a very effective way to expose liars and hypocrites. And it reaches an audience that would not read about the issue, or watch it on PBS or Meet the Press.

[MikeMidCity]

Yes, Dick is funny. Dead funny.

[Average]

Letterman has never been funny. I've never understood how he has remained on TV for these years.

[LeftVetPatriot]

You're so right.
NBC & CBS have paid him hundreds of millions of dollars just because you don't think he's funny.

[pizzmoe]

In fact, the less funny he is, the more money the network pays him

[spqesq]

What channel are you on?

[JohnCochtosten]

More like "what drug are you on?"

Dave rules.

[realitycheck7]

you have no idea what funny is

[Keith52]

Never? Not even the human VELCRO stunts? you have got to lighten up, duuuude.

[Nova16]

Average just about says it all, however you may be bragging a bit too much.

[thismachinekillsfascists]

2008 will go down in history as the year that the Republicans get thoroughly HUMILIATED!

People will no longer cower in fear of Dick Cheney's shadow. No more will his pronouncements cause normal grown men to shit their pants. Never again will his snarl be stuff of legends. And next time he shoots someone in the face, he'll go to PRISON where he belongs!

[deweym]

Dude, pull the pillow from between your teeth and take a big breath. Although Shotgun Dick has been one of the most destructive forces on our country and the environment, the only person that he causes to soil his pants is himself and this is by choice.

[mike53]

Cheney is funny. He can and does laugh at himself. Its a good thing Dave has writers, he is not to funny on his own.

[magen]

Yeah, my favorite was when the stupid chickenhawk warmonger actually got his hands on a gun (which he doesn't know how to use cause he's a chickenhawk) and shot his GOP (YES!!!!!!) buddy in the face.

Now that was funny!

[liberalsrheros]

lmao, thanks.

[c1ee]

Didn't he shoot him in the ass?

[Marlyn]

It wasn't.

Thanks for putting this up--I fell asleep and missed the show last night. Hilarious is right.

[Mabo]

You could make the same montage with any number of politicians from both sides of the aisle.

[luckyoldson]

"You could make the same montage with any number of politicians from both sides of the aisle."

Sure you could, but ONLY Dick has the audacity to joke around after implementing a fiasco in Iraq that has taken over 4,000 American lives, with over 30,000 wounded...and literally 100,000's of dead Iraqi civilians.

That takes someone with a very sick and creepy sense of humor.

[wadenelson1]

"So?"

[spqesq]

Really? Incest jokes at WV's expense? Hussein definitely has WMD's? The insurgency is in it's last throes? Name one other politician. One.

[Egyptsteve]

Wow, how clever! Wonder why they haven't thought of this yet over at the Daily Show?

Oh, wait ... they were running "You Don't Know Dick" sketches about six months ago ...

[mathme]

That was great. Love me some Letterman.
