A$$hole Letterman

[bomelia]

I remember David when he first appeared. I liked him because Johnny Carson was irrelevant to my age group. Letterman brought a whole new crowd of folks into the late night watchers. Surely, it had been intended to groom him for Johnny's spot. However, Letterman was a little more caustic then they had bargained for. For Letterman to keep his new demographic crowd, he had to go further down the path. When Johnny retired, it was clear Letterman would not work out. So Leno got it and Letterman left the network. Pissed off. And he has stayed PO ever since. I think he has become quite bitter about it. He was funny at one time. But no more. Now he is in a ratings war with the Red Headed Step Child (who I like by the way!)

Conan will not turn conservatives or liberals off. That would be stupid... forfiet half of his viewers. David already did that.

Ya'll remember Letterman stirring O'Reilly's coffee with his pencil (before O'Reilly came on stage?)
