I look forward to further ratings erosion for Letterman. I never watch him, and the above is the main reason why. (Another reason: he’s just not that funny any more.)

No, and like all these other comedians who should’ve stuck to just comedy but have gone (liberal) political - stewart, maher, franken et al - he’s gotten vicious and mean. (Stewart not so much, he’s just really snarky).
I still like Leno, though. He’s a fair comedian and, I think, a nice human being. His ratings versus the other late-night guys reflect it, too.
Oh, and another notable exception is Craig Ferguson. He loves this country and makes no bones about it. If you can find a clip online of his taking the oath and becoming a citizen (he did a segment on his show about it a year or two ago), watch it. Very moving.
