I caught tonight's Countdown and the number one story was a look at
"Letterman's Revenge." I confess to being unable to watch Dave since
the apology, and my intent is not to rehash that topic. What I wanted
to note is that, based on what Keith O. said and the clips he showed,
Letterman hasn't gotten any revenge against anyone. It would take very
little for someone of Dave's intellect to eviscerate someone using
nothing but words. If revenge was what he was after, the jokes would
be very different. Dave seems content to let the apology stand, and to
toss softballs at Palin instead of heaters. I'm not suggesting Dave
revert to the level of insult comic, but lambasting public figures is
a late night comic tradition, and jokes about her shoes isn't the edgy
Dave I used to know and used to love. But you tell me:
