Last night, David Letterman joked about the Democratic Presidential nomination.

Partial Transcript

LETTERMAN: Are you folks sick and tired of the Democratic Presidential primary campaign? (cheers and applause)

LETTERMAN: That’s what i say. bllphh! Hillary Clinton by the way, and my gosh, talk about a fighter. A fighter. But too bad her campaign is running out of money. That’s right. And is very expensive. And they are not paying their bills. As a matter of fact, Today and this very sad, a collection agency repoed her pant suit. (laughter)

LETTERMAN: That is a true story. You can look that up. You can — bblllpphh. So here is what happened on Tuesday. Hillary Clinton barely won my home state of Indiana. And she lost in the State of North Carolina. But here is the good news. She has a substantial lead in the state of denial. Thank you so much. (applause)

LETTERMAN: I was thinking about this. And i’m no political genius. I’m no pundit but it occurred to me that Hillary Clinton has one thing in common with President Bush. Neither of them has an exit strategy. There you go. (laughter)

4. Letterman's the lamest thing on TV...I cannot figure out why he's still on the air.

I don't catch it that often....but every time I check in...I quickly flip to Leno....Letterman's humor/show is totally humorless and useless..

[nomorewhopper]

5. i've always liked him

but i like leno too. truth be told i never watch the tube.

i think it's certainly noteworthy that the whole "hillary is delusional" meme has entered the public discourse of late night tv.

7. Ah well,

humor is very personal. I adore Letterman, and I'd rather eat glass than watch Leno.
