Replace "Jew" with "lawyer" and suddenly everyone is OK with it. People.

Because that would never happen, since lawyers really do run the world.

Might as well.  Letterman jumped the shark sometime during the Dubya administration.

Possibly-- his best stuff by far was mid to late 80s.  But he was still watchable in the late 90s.

There seems to be a fairly strong split on the Leno-Letterman preference. I wonder what specifically it is that make people feel strongly one way or the other.
