Here, during an interview with former Bush press secretary Scott McClellan, Letterman expresses his opinions about Dick Cheney for his audience: "My feeling about Cheney and also Bush but especially Cheney is that he just couldn't care less about Americans. And the same is true of George Bush. And all they really want to do is somehow kiss up to the oil people so they can get some great annuity when they're out of office ... (Peeling off imaginary bills) 'There you go, Dick, nice job. There's a couple of billion for your trouble.' He pretty much put Haliburton in business and the outsourcing of military resources to private mercenary groups and so forth ... Is there any humanity in either of these guys?"
