Letterman used to be fresh and funny; in recent years he’s become dim and sarcastic. The only thing that keeps him out of the political-hack pool with other two-bit comics like Al Franken or Bill Maher is self deprecation, and even that’s become insincere.
Dave’s behavior is so typical of the media and entertainment’s ridicule of traditional values. He even tried to get laughs as he made his sketchy confession on the show the other night. Letterman talks about his young son all the time – I’ll bet Harry will be real proud to know that his dad has been diddling the staff, dipping his pen in company ink, fishing off the company pier.
Letterman now joins the ranks of Clinton, Edwards and other remorseless libs with no character – egomaniacs leading America deeper down the sewer pipe.
This week’s uproar may help ratings for a while. Letterman fills his theater with sycophantic audiences, but the sponsors won’t put up with his crap for long.
And surely there’s another side to the story.
The late night format is great; it’s time to give someone else a chance.
You’ve made your hundreds of millions, Dave. Time to walk away into the Connecticut sunset.
