No difference, except perhaps to the extent of the differences in their avowed occupations. I don't think Letterman includes political commentary per se as part of his job description. When comics or actors venture out into giving political opinions, they have to be prepared to take the consequences. O'Reilly is an avowed, and abrasive, political commentator. If you tune in, you pretty much know what you'll get. With Letterman, I expect some hokey top ten list, even if it contains political parody. That's not the same as the comments attributed to him in the article. All these personalities tend to lead cloistered lives. They hang with people who share their own POV and are catered to on top of that due to their financial success. It's a recipe for arrogance.

Like so many in the entertainment field, Letterman got lucky with a late night tv show. And, like so many others in the biz, they believe that we actually give a .... what they think as it concerns our safety, children or family. Letterman has had too many lunches with those New Yorkers' and Hollywood types on the 'A' list.
