I like to watch David Letterman at 11:30 pm. The first ten minutes he usually spends on political humor. On Thursday night there was reference to an audience member who was apparently very loud mouthed during the warm up before the show and David kept joking about him throughout his opening remarks, so the cameras were on the man many times. That overweight guffawing white man was from South Carolina which probably says it all.

After all the funny stuff skewering W. Mitt Romney, David asked the audience if any of them would be voting for him and there was a lot of applause. I could see Letterman was taken aback by their reactions; I mean really, really taken aback, it normally doesn’t happen that way, but it just proves that no matter what Romney has said in the past, or in the future, there will be a lot of people who will vote for him all the while holding their noses. What I’m saying is what I’ve said all along, those ignorant people will vote party line, the same as they did for George Bush whom they now never dare to speak of.

Speaking of G. Bush, remember his declaration about the war being over after he climbed down from a just landed Navy Jet while carrying his flight helmet in triumph. He landed the plane all by himself, according to one less than truthful aide.One of my art club members told me he himself was a retired carrier pilot and that Bush could not have done that. Those pilots go through extensive training which takes a great deal of time to land just right in order to be grabbed by that big hook that stops them safely. I’d love to hear from the pilot that actually did that landing. There was not much truth coming out of the Bush administration, ever.
