Dishonest Dave: Letterman Claims Non-Partisan Humorist: David Letterman isn't a partisan comic by choice. He simply follows the political material.
Yes, and when Letterman affixed himself to a wall via a velcro suit he was engaging in an intellectual exercise meant to deconstruct modern humor.
Letterman pretended to open up about political humor during a recent chat with old pal Regis Philbin.
LETTERMAN: Well – you – I know what your point is, and I have been guilty of appearing to be playing partisan politics. However, I'd just like to say that for the record, I am a registered independent. You go where the material takes you. Poor Bill Clinton. No president that I'm aware of got hammered harder than Bill – President Bill Clinton over the Monica Lewinsky situation. We beat up on him. We still use him as a reference. And then we were desperate. We thought, well this was so easy and then we got George Bush, and within a matter of days we realized our prayers had been answered, he's just as good in terms of material.
PHILBIN: (Laughing)
