A Word About David Letterman

Although he's hardly worth my time.

I have long objected to his politics--his and his writers'--and that they shove their views down the audience's throats. I have never appreciated his negative sense of humor.

I have watched only minutes of his program in the last many years. I watched after Obama's election to see if Letterman would finally shut up about Bush, Cheney, Palin. No.

Now I read that he has revealed himself as a low life, a person with questionable, if any, morality, a person without integrity. And I wonder, will he stop making jokes about others whose values and behavior match his own? I doubt it.

When politically prominent people behave as Letterman has, that is, without personal restraint, without moral strength, without regard for others, even their own families, we usually hear a public clamor that they be publicly censured and/or step down from office. And yet, I suspect Letterman will continue to stand forth every week night. Perhaps even gain personally from this nasty business he was forced to bring out of secrecy.

More's the pity.

No. I will not watch to find out.
