FReepmail or drop me a comment to get on or off the Sultan Knish ping list. I highly recommend an occasional look at the Sultan Knish blog. It is a rich source of materials, links and more from one of the preeminent writers of our age.
We are uniquely privileged to be able to enjoy DG from our perch at FR.

One more smarmy sicko down the tubes.
I’m glad somebody finally said it.
Scary isn't it... that there are a couple generations of Americans whose SOLE ‘understanding’ of politics in this country is drawn from what creeps like Letterman spew in their role as comedians and entertainers.
Where is it written that any of them has a degree (or anything LIKE it) in political philosophy, economics, history, political science, etc. ?
Biased idiots have shaped the future of American politics for too long.
Think of it this way... how good would a ‘dish’ BE if the chef used ONLY salt to season it?
At some point you'd be looking for a different ‘dish’, right?
Yes indeed. What is his background?
Nice to see a grounded analysis of DL. He lost to Leno, was not funny, and resonated mainly with old liberals via a dying medium. Nice.
Who is/was this Lettercarrier fellow? I seem to have missed him.
Letterman’s show was one hour long continuous lip curling sneer.
He was funny once, in an absurdist way, then he just became a surly crank, trying to pretend he was still funny. At least he was better at that game than Chevy Chase.
That photo of him and the first rapist says it all.
Nice article, insightful and devastating.
Agreed, he was funny at first. His morning show was very funny. He did things like stupid pet tricks and stupid human tricks. He would put on the Velcro suit and jump against the wall and stick. He made fun of himself by playing the fool. He dropped things off of buildings to see what happened when they hit the ground. He came up with the top ten lists. These were all new on his show.
Then he started to change. I think it started some time after he lost the Tonight Show to Leno. He became a mean vindictive old liberal hack.
I am thoroughly impressed with Greenfield. He illuminates truth in a way that is increasingly rare. I would like to be on that ping list please.
You lead a blessed life - most of us had to notice him to decide he wasn't worth our notice.
Yeah, I watched him occasionally for the first couple of years, but it didn't take long for his schtick to become old.
One telling point to me is how he reacted to Joe Piscopo's mocking of him. Joe would show up on his show with a fake gap between his teeth and mimic him (it was pretty funny). Letterman tried to hide it, but it was obvious he didn't take a dose of his own medicine very well. Joe quickly disappeared after being a regular, and the episode said much about Letterman's character, or lack thereof....
Half witted again I see. Do you not notice these articles are from different publications? They contain differences based on the author’s rewriting before posting at his blog. You are tiresome.
Mind adding me to your ping list?
Thanks
Happy to include you.
Nope. Same article.
A duplicate.
You’re senile.
