Letterman: I was ‘misguided by my ego for so many years’

An unrecognizable David Letterman was seen jogging on St. Barts.

The comedian admitted that while presenting the show he did not realise just how insignificant his job really was, an impression no doubt reinforced by his revolving door of self-important celebrities.

David said: ‘And because of this introspection, you believe that what you are doing is of great importance and that it is affecting mankind wall-to-wall.

‘And then when you get out of it you realize, oh, well, that wasn’t true at all,’ he continued, laughing. ‘It was just silliness. And when that occurred to me, I felt so much better and I realized, geez, I don’t think I care that much about television anymore.

‘I feel foolish for having been misguided by my own ego for so many years.’

    Now you won’t hear that kind of honest self-assessment from the Repukes.

    Repukes instead will accuse you with their dishonest, false allegations like For example: Obama hates America and he is a Muslim.

    As much as I always like Colbert, I miss this guy’s show.

      Colbert was so much better on the “Colbert Report”. Now, he’s just another politically correct talk show host.

        By “politically correct” do you mean “common decency”?

        Because that’s what conservatives mean when they attack “political correctness.” They hate common decency.

          Politically correct, IMO, is less political talk and more social commentary.

    I appreciate Dave’s candor…something that is sorely missing these days.

    That’s Dave, damn!

      I almost didn’t believe it. But he used to always stick his tongue behind his teeth like that and looking at pics side by side, I can see it now.

      I know, right? Whoa!

    And he can have that attitude since TV made him millions of dollars. Even this is an exercise in self importance.

    Cool. That’s kinda how I felt when I left the GOP. It was better than that, actually.

    • Mensa Member March 24th, 2016 at 21:43

      You are probably a decent person.

      The GOP rejected all their decent, fair-minded members a long time ago.

      thanks for walking into the light. we need more of you to leave the dark side.

    Note to Letterman: your ego is not some external entity. It’s you.

    It’s all silliness.
