Laugh Track....Worth The Wait

CBS’ David Letterman: “Last night, did you see the full moon? No, you didn’t, it was blacked-out by Time Warner. I don’t know if you know what’s going on but it’s week three now that the evil goons at Time Warner are blacking-out CBS all across the country. They say now that they're actually having some talks between Time Warner and CBS and they say they are going well. Yeah, you know, like the talks between Egypt and the Muslim Brotherhood. Here’s what I know about the people at Time Warner: They invented the remote control. You know sometimes you press in three digits on your remote control and only two come up on the screen? They invented that. … Do you know the 1972 undefeated champion Miami Dolphins? In 1972, they never got to go to the White House. The winning Super Bowl teams get to go to the White House. In 1972-73, Richard Nixon was embroiled in the Watergate scandal and he said, ‘Okay, no parties,’ and he called off all the parties. Well finally, earlier this week, the ’72 Dolphins got to go to the White House and they were all so excited to meet Spiro Agnew. After waiting 41 years, this injustice has finally been corrected. Nothing new on Native Americans, but this injustice, finally corrected” (“Late Show,” CBS, 8/21).
