Letterman used to crack me up with his wit and irony, but it's old now, he's replaced wit with surliness, the irony with politics. He's like those comedians who when they tell a joke that has a PC position; the audience laughs politely, but applauds the political point of view. Good comedy makes the audience laugh; PC comedy forces the audience to applaud: "OK, I didn't laugh, but I am on your side politically."

Letterman is just the latest celebrity who thinks that because he's got camera time, he's earned the right to express his political views the way those who are known exclusively for their views earned it. He in essence has a captive audience for whatever he wants to say, and who can resist the urge to say Serious Things?

I don't know why anyone wastes their time on Letterman or the witless Leno when there are so many good books to read.

Wow.....I think you summed up Letterman very well.

Good points.

Good riddance to Letterman.

Good for you! I couldn't have said it any better myself! You've earned my respect with that comment.

CA....

You are describing his life as a bachelor and as a married man. Happens to many of us, or at least I have heard.
