Letterman Visits Marines in Iraq

David Letterman brought his late-night show to Iraq on Friday, asking Marines, "anybody here from out of town?" When hands flew up in the air after he asked for a volunteer to help deliver his opening monologue, he responded, "isn't that how you got here?" Other Letterman quips:

"Iraqi elections are in January. Hurry up and pick somebody so we can get the hell out of here," he said.
"If I wanted to face insurgents I would've spent Christmas with my relatives."
"We're sorry we keep having to come back. If you ever come to New York City, come see us and we'll treat you like big shots."
