Letterman for Edwards?


Oprah Winfrey, Bill O'Reilly and the possibility of an endorsement by David Letterman are among the subjects discussed when former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards appears tonight on the "Late Show with David Letterman."

Of course, not all of the discussion was as serious as Monday night's Democratic presidential debate in South Carolina.

And, at one point, Letterman tangled with Edwards' famous hair, according to quotes released by the show, which was taped this afternoon.

Letterman asked Edwards about the value of Winfrey's endorsement of Illinois Sen. Barack Obama.

"I'm kind of thinking you can do for me what Oprah's done for Barack," Edwards said.

Edwards and Letterman also discussed O'Reilly.

"He's a marvelous communicator, but he doesn't really care much about telling the truth," Letterman said.

"Yeah, I've noticed the same thing," Edwards responded.

Letterman: "Very entertaining, and I like when he's on the show, but if you say one thing..."

Edwards: "But most of what he says is crap."

Letterman: "I think you're right. There you go, exactly. I like how you think, Senator."
