I saw David Letterman’s “Stooge of the Night” segment for the first time last night. (Apologies if I’m late to the party on this; according to NewsBusters—”Exposing & Combating Liberal Media Bias”—he’s been at it for a while.) It’s remarkable, and it reminds me why I’ve always liked Letterman so much. It’s also ballsy and goofy and painfully uncomfortable and 100 percent necessary. I have to imagine the people at the Late Show are getting no end of shit for doing this. I hope like hell they keep it up.
