Are David Letterman and Paul Shaffer feuding?

Tom Shales, who cowrote one of my favorite books of all time, claims that he’s witnessed a breakdown of the professional relationship between golfing buddies/Westchester residents David Letterman and Paul Shaffer. I’ve seen “The Late Show” recently, and I have no reason to believe this.
Still, here’s what Shales wrote earlier this week:
Could it be that at long last, late-night king David Letterman is getting fed up with the zany inanities, forced cackled laughter and imbecilic interruptions of his long-time bandleader Paul Shaffer?Shaffer made an annoyingly disruptive dope of himself on the first night of Letterman’s recent mock-event “Ventriloquist Week II�  rattling on and on about some obscure ventriloquist he used to see on “The Ed Sullivan Show�  and Letterman did little to hide his extreme disinterest, and displeasure, on the air. Shaffer couldn’t take a hint and kept babbling.
Who do you think is most in the wrong? Letterman? Shaffer? Or Shales?

I think the safe money is still on Rosie O’Donnell.
Please a little late night jabbing is what keeps the show interesting.
