The Most Meaningless Man in America

Natural disasters, American troops at war, Obama speaking to the International Olympic Committee, unemployment rate rose to 9.8%, but what was the number one current event this morning? David Letterman’s sexual relationships with the hired help. That this seemed to be the only news story upon waking should not come as a surprise because, after all, Letterman is the main stream media’s favorite son.

During his late night monologue he wore and flaunted his infidelity like a badge of honor. His audience, who evidently passed the goof test to be let into the show, sat laughing at his revelations. There must have been a punch line in there somewhere.

This is a completely meaningless story about a completely meaningless man that, except for those directly involved, will have no effect on anyone else’s life. Yet this will probably dominate the headlines this weekend.

What should Letterman do next? He now meets the liberal criteria for public office. Maybe he should run for a Democratic seat in Congress.
