Dave Letterman is a comedian, (although no longer as good IMHO as others out there). Quite frankly his material has little to do with anything other than what is in the news that his writers can use to give him weekly jokes. Jay Leno has done some excellent interviews since and regarding his departure fron Night time television about being a comedian and what is acceptable material and how one uses it. He as others have, stated the material used is not intended to hurt anyone or promote any position, it is simply to get the laugh. Glad to see Letterman is going off the air - the man has lost his comedic touch. Many of his shows are also reruns which I suspect this one was because the ferret topic in NYC is past news for the night time joksters. Today is the best day to do a good deed.
