I agree, Kimberly. I think he's amazing and absolutely hilarious! I say way to go at not allowing himself to be pushed around.

Letterman is a hoot. He is taking a stand for his freedom of speech. I admire him standing up to those bullying him.
 
Good for him. I'm proud of him.
 
:floorlaugh: I love Daves humor! Way to go Dave! Laughter is the best medicine!
