Letterman - Synonyms

Letterman - vitriolic, caustic, acerbic, acrid, bitter, disagreeable, unpleasant, destructive, asshole. Those are just the clean synonyms to describe what used to be a comedian!

The Late Show should be renamed "The View at Night" because Letterman's rants remind me of all the hen pecking coming from its daytime model, the completely vacuous "The View." I stopped watching him a few years ago when he quit being a comic and became the attack dog for the DNC. However, I was flipping channels last night and saw Bill O'Reilly was on his show. It didn't take long to remember why I'd stopped watching. As soon as O'Reilly sat down Letterman said "I think of you as a goon." It didn't improve appreciably from there.

I was never particularly fond of O'Reilly but this kind of treatment by a supposed late night comic is unconscionable. Maybe vilifying conservatives is entertainment to the shallow minded liberal audience that applauds every rant but I think he's pretty much outlived his success.

If you'd like to see for yourself go to the video excerpt at CBS.
