Miss Dave, but Colbert has been brilliant in that spot since he took the reigns!

For all of his goofiness, Letterman saw the racism in the Orange Pig back then just as clearly as we all see it today. I know he wasn't the only one, but he was one of very few who had the platform and used it to try to warn the world of 45's bigotry and stupidity.

Thanks for posting this.
