I am not a David Letterman fan by any stretch of the imagination. I think his humor (the style of which I call “New York humor”) isn’t very funny. (I put Jerry Seinfeld, Jay Leno, and Larry David in the same category; I’ve yet to even smile at anything said on the old Seinfeld sitcom–except the Soup Nazi.)
That being said, I have to stand and salute Mr. Letterman for last night’s on-air apology to his wife for his pre-marital affairs. Letterman has stepped out of moral bounds on several occasions (the joke about Sarah Palin’s younger daughter getting pregnant was pretty edgy), and he regularly comes back to publicly apologize for such gaffes.
I was struck by his statement:
“…if you hurt a person and it’s your responsibility, you try to fix it.”
Truer words rarely spoken.
Now, maybe the GPS Lady in his car will speak to him again.
