Jay Leno's Broad Appeal, Patriotism Sticking in Craw of Liberal TV Cri
Critics love David Letterman. They love him because he’s mean and liberal and does everything they demand: further the leftist agenda through the brutal use of humiliation to target any public figure (or their child) who might derail Leftist causes.
