It Was a Joke, Laura!
Today I went to Laura Ingraham's web site in an attempt to see if she was contrite about telling her radio listeners to jam a voter protection hotline (nothing about it on her site). I noticed her post, "the lie of the day" in which she accuses David Letterman of lying about not knowing where to find Fox News on his television:
"I don't even know how to get to your show," claimed David Letterman, when Bill O'Reilly made an appearance.
THE TRUTH:
Sorry Dave, but we can smell what you're cooking. You're trying to make it seem like no one watches Fox News Channel or "The O'Reilly Factor" in a lame attempt to dismiss Bill's points. We all know you're watching his show like a hawk!
The real truth is that Letterman was setting up a punchline.
Here's the quote in context:
Letterman: Let me tell you something, I don't even know how to get to your show.
O'Reilly: Right down, you just go straight down, you take a right.
Letterman: But it's on, it's on Fox, I dial up Fox and it's always The Simpsons. And I don't--Where are you, Bill?
