Me either, Dave...but then; we used to be a Blue state.
Comedian and native Hoosier David Letterman during his show Tuesday night tore into Indiana Gov. Mike Pence (R) for signing the state's divisive Religious Freedom Restoration Act into law.
"This is not the Indiana I remember as a kid," Letterman said during a serious moment on CBS's "Late Show with David Letterman."
"I lived there for 27 years, and folks were folks, and thats all there was to it," he said. "We all breathed the same air, we were all carbon-based life forms. We didnt care."
"This guy throws a monkey wrench into the works," Letterman continued. "Something's gone haywire."
"It may be legal, but it aint right," he said.

He is right to the point in politics. maybe he can do something with that after he retires - a show or something.

Does the name Sen. Al Franken ring a bell?

Maybe the two of them could get together and do a "PrideAid" concert (with Letterman as emcee of course ).
