Dave Letterman gets serious on his show tonight
He did a monologue.
He went to the first commercial break.
Then, when he came back, he started in on the Newtown shootings.
He ruminated about his own kid, not much older than the kids who were shot.
Then he pointed out there have 70 school shootings since thew Brady Bill was signed.
He read quotes from Obama's remarks from last night.
He gave Obama props. He lauded him for being on the record as supporting us "doing something."
His audience was hused and respectful. At the end the applause was as one might expect for the organist and soloist at a wake.
Then he went to break again. This is longest non comedy things I think I have ever seen on late night comedy television. And I have been watching late night comedy television since Jack Paar was around.
I like Dave. He's almost always on the right side of things.
