I've seen Letterman do a lot of strange things for ratings. I still contend that from the show's point of view, it was about ratings. That is the way they have behaved in the past. that is the way I expect them to continue.

You think that, just possibly the "Post" may be stirring things up for the sake of controversy?

LJ. Your point about the Smothers is well taken. But realistically Didn't the network hire THEM to entertain?
