Don't get me wrong - I've always enjoyed watching Letterman. He's smart, quick, and funny.

But he's also always been a hard-core liberal, and he doesn't throw in liberal thought simply as a part of his schtick - he actively tries to convince, for the sake of the convincing. The scary part, to me, is that so many people who are fairly clueless (in a daily-events context) will watch him and let themselves be convinced by him.

Of course, in a country whose elections are driven by 30-second ads, pretty hair, and lawn signs, it's a bit quixotish (that's Romance-language for "stupid") for me to bitch about what Letterman does, I suppose.

Letterman's no liberal.
