Sly Fox wrote:Creative, misguided and obnoxious.He was creative on sportscenter, but now he just goes with the fringe extreme left wing talking points. His whole show is so extreme and far to the left. He's more like Rosie O'Donnell then anything else. Which I guess explains his low ratings.
As a sports guy he is entertaining ... and a news commentator he is boorish.

It's always been quite apparent to me that Letterman hates all politicians. When they're on his show he's usually somewhat amiable, but everything I've ever seen from him makes me think he just thinks the entire thing is a mess.

Have you seen his interview with Bill O'Reilly. I'm no fan of O'reilly but Letterman was jerk.kel varson wrote:I used to like David Letterman's show but the last few years he's become so political.

Also: I don't know a lot about Olbermann, but to be fair, it's not exactly hard to trash W.

Have you seen his interview with Bill O'Reilly. I'm no fan of O'reilly but Letterman was jerk.Bill O'Reilly is almost always a jerk when he interviews people and I think Letterman was just giving it back to him. It was supposed to be funny. I thought it was.
If you listen to Letterman's monologue its full of jokes about Bush whereas Leno picks on everybody. I used to like Letterman. I think some his stuff is hilarious but he has changed Big Time.

I record all of the late night shows for the musical guests. I delete about 75% of them without watching them, but sometimes they have someone on that I like.

Letterman still does plenty of Billary jokes. I think maybe you're just overlooking them. He does at least 3 Hillary pantsuit jokes a week.

HenryGale wrote:I remember watching Letterman after GWB became president and Letterman stood up and said he wanted to personally thank Clinton for 8 years of the best comedic material ever given to him.I think that still holds true. Bush has yielded some fodder, no doubt, but most of the Bush jokes have been "dumb" humor, which is easy to write and not very original.
