David Letterman is one of television's most outspoken Obama apologists. The late night talker avoids jokes targeting the president while nursing a running gag about Mitt Romney's failure to appear on his show.
Even Letterman couldn't stomach the lies Obama peddled about Romney during the most recent presidential debate. He even used valuable air time to discuss them with Queen Obama Apologist Rachel Maddow.
DAVID
LETTERMAN, HOST: Here's what upset me last night, this playing fast and
loose with facts. And the President Obama cites the op-ed piece that
Romney wrote about Detroit, “Let them go bankrupt, let them go
bankrupt,” and last night he brings it up again. “Oh, no, Governor, you
said let them go bankrupt, blah blah blah, let them go bankrupt.” And
Mitt said, “No, no, check the thing, check the thing, check the thing.”
Now,
I don't care whether you're Republican or Democrat, you want your
president to be telling the truth; you want the contender to be lying.
And so what we found out today or soon thereafter that, in fact, the
President Obama was not telling the truth about what was excerpted from
that op-ed piece. I felt discouraged.
RACHEL MADDOW: Because the "Let Detroit go bankrupt" headline you feel like was inappropriate?
LETTERMAN:
Well, the fact the President is invoking it and swearing that he was
right and that Romney was wrong and I thought, well, he's the president
of course he's right. Well, it turned out no, he was taking liberties
with that.
Is Letterman getting mentally prepared for a Romney administration?
Why bring up the topic with an MSNBC personality in the first place?
