Q&A: FRANKEN, LETTERMAN TAKE ON CLIMATE CHANGE
Letterman: Here’s what I keep saying: We know there’s something wrong, but what I’m tired of is people, daily, nightly, on all the cable news shows telling us there’s something wrong. I just think we ought to direct our resources and our energies to doing something about it. And other people have made this point: If the guy was running Dairy Queen, he’d be gone. This guy couldn’t work at The Gap. So why do we have to be victimized by his fecklessness, his ignorance?
But it’s just the behavior is insulting to Americans, whether you voted for him or not - and I feel bad for people who did vote for him because he promised them things that they really needed and one wonders if he’s really going to come through. I know there’s trouble in this country and we need a guy who can fix that trouble. I wish it was Trump, but it’s not, so let’s just stop whining about what a goon he is and figure out a way to take him aside and put him in a home.
My two cents…
He’ll come through very little for those who voted for him.
Businessmen can be ruthlessly self-seeking and they’re rarely out for the little guy. So I guess if that’s what it takes to get to the top, then whatever fine but I don’t see him changing all that much since he took office. Feels like he’s out for the corporations and not the best interests of the common man, the environment, or the country’s reputation.
Also, I know many people who’re out there doing something. Attending rallies, organizing them, protesting — all that kinda thing.
Me? I would but I’ve a misplaced tendon from the Great Football War and feel content to simply aid in the resistance by providing commentary from my phone.
commentary is crucial.
The great insult [and of course nobody that I need to say this to is reading this but I’ve a got job to worry about so I rant to those who already know] is that he thought that being rich qualified him for the job. INCREDIBLY INSULTING. No amount of exposing his stupidity, lies and ignorance are ever going to be enough. I’m still struck by the first few days after the election and again after the inauguration. One picture paints a thousand words and the man obviously did not expect to win and HAD NO PLAN. He didn’t have a cabinet already picked out and ready to hit the ground running. Even after November until he took office, he didn’t have the spots filled. Don’t get me wrong, the lists delineating the lies are important and maybe the best way to deal with this little sociopath, but a little commentary is necessary too and it could rhyme.
At best, he’s using Reagan’s and Bush’s leftovers. Trickle Down?! AreYouFuckingKiddingME? It didn’t work. Ever. At all. Ask people from 52501 when the economy took a permanent turn downward. The only people who were fans of the Reagan years were the people who were already rich. I have no doubt that some of those guys were OK to golf with their domestic policies resembled Vlad the Impaler. And their foreign policy started WWIII.
To quote Root Boy Slim and the Sex Change Band:

That’s a good point.. WWIII is most likely going on right now.

Letterman is actually approaching it from a very civilized and professional viewpoint. Let’s get him in a home. Not talking about putting him in jail or a guillotine. Just a home for befuddled seniors who’ve lost their way. They’ll take good care of him.
Unfortunately, I’m being completely serious.
They take good care of my mom at Good Samaritan.
