A Boor And A Coward

Victor Davis Hanson on David Letterman.

And this from James Lileks:

"That’s the culture: a flat, dead-eyed, square-headed old man who’ll go back to the writers and ask for more Palin-daughter knocked-up jokes, because that one went over well. Other children he won’t touch, but not because he’s decent. It’s because he’s a coward."

From the comments:

"...his comedy has been reduced to demonstrations of private political indulgences and a distasteful smugness and conceit that he possesses the moral high ground. I look forward to his retirement. He clearly hates what he’s doing, and I’m tired [of] pretending it’s worth watching."

When even James Lileks calls him a coward, Letterman is done. Finally.
