David Letterman: Donald Trump Is "Despicable"

[Initech]

Brokaw: "Listen, you're not on the air during one of the wackiest, potentially dislocating election years of our lifetime. Donald Trump, Hillary, Bernie Sanders. Are there times when you just say, "God, I'd like to be on tonight. I'd like to be talking about this?"

Letterman: "Well, I understand that he's repugnant to people. But, you tell me, the men putting together the Constitution, witnessing this election, wouldn't they have just said, 'That's part of the way we set it up. Good luck'"?

Brokaw: "You're absolutely right. He didn't cheat by getting the nomination."

Letterman: "Right. There's nothing illegal going on. It's just he's despicable ... And in everybody's school, you hear, 'The great thing about America is anybody can grow up to be President.' Oh, jeez. I guess that might be true."

The exchange comes a day after another clip was released where Letterman declared he "couldn't care less" about late-night TV anymore, and suggested a woman should have taken over the Late Show instead of Stephen Colbert.

Tell 'em Dave!

1. Perfect, Dave, now kill the beard. n/t

2. That beard probably gave him some comfortable anonymity

so he could go into the local Dunkies and nurse a cup of coffee and people watch without being besieged by autograph hounds.

Now he'll have to start trimming it because people know what the scraggly one looks like.

3. Dave should have stayed on until after the election

He is needed, and missed.
