Google "letterman stooge of the night" and you'll get hits from Breitbart.com, Fox Nation, and something called survivalistboards.com (I assume the name tells you all you need to know about that site). I saw the segment on Tuesday, where he named a senator "Stooge of the Night" for opposing the gun control bill. While I agree with Dave politically on the issue, I wasn't crazy about it because, well, calling someone a stooge isn't political satire. It was a lazy segment. There were no jokes in the segment, just a proclamation that so-and-so is a stooge. I just thought, "Wow, Stewart and Colbert would have done that SO much better." -Tim
