First–I’ve gotten a bunch of email from conservatives about my siding with Letterman in the O’Reilly beatdown the other night. They really do defend their own when one is threatened. Don’t they? That’s about the nicest thing I can say. As for some of the arguments I’ve heard–this complaint I’ve heard that Letterman should keep his political views to himself, he’s an entertainer, blah blah blah. Well I totally reject that. I don’t want Dave on his soapbox every night by any means but it’s precisely BECAUSE Dave occasionally says what’s on his mind and doesn’t censor himself for the sake of vanilla entertainment (see Jay Leno) that he earns his credibility. If you spend 4-5 hours a week with an entertainer I’d hope at least some of their passion for something besides Vin Diesel’s next clip comes out.
