divine (rip) and david

letterman is far far far better than leno. period

why then does leno outshine in the ratings? could it be letterman is too intelligent for the general public?

letterman is a better more thorough interviewer. letterman (and his staff) have funnier, funkier and far out bits (the zsa zsa gabor and dave in a rag top looking for burgers at fast food joints in the la area comes to mind as well as the velcro suit and tub of fizzies). letterman has stupid pet tricks. letterman cried when he came back on the air after 9/11. letterman can talk to paulie shore OR former president carter with ease. letterman had farrah's meltdown. drew bared her breastesesesesesesesese on air to letterman for his birthday. letterman wears white socks with his suits and italian loafers. letterman makes fun of soap operas that appear on the spanish channels. letterman has the hoola hoop and grinder grrrls. letterman has cool bands on. rahall-letterman has danica patrick on their cart racing team.
