So I’m watching Letterman right now ONLY because McCain is going to be on. I vowed to boycott The Late Show show a few months ago, which of course was followed by many letters (cause that’s my thing..letter writing). Well his opening monologue has been 100% McCain jokes thus far (We’re at the first commercial break) and I find myself wondering what Letterman’s job actually is. Is he supposed to provide late night entertainment to as many people as possible, meaning is it not his responsibility to keep viewers tuned in so as the station can sell as much advertising as possible, seeing as they have a fiduciary responsibility to company shareholders? OR is his job to alienate half the population of the country? Bad business plan Dave! Thing is, if I wanted political commentary I’d turn on the radio or cable news.
Part 2: Dave just seems like an angry old man. I understand the passion and emotional immaturity involved in being passionate about politics
But his anger is astonishing considering what his job is.
