Tim Slagle, Big Hollywood, makes a convincing case that David Letterman is a hack.
He backs it up with two video clips, one from June 11, 2008, and the other from March 25, 2009.
Yes. Letterman is definitely a hack.

What’s most most amazing to me is that Letterman pays a sizable staff WGA scale to come up with this stuff. And you thought government workers were lazy. Of course, considering Letterman’s documented propensity to repeat the same exact jokes night after night, I’m beginning to wonder if he might be getting forgetful in his old age. Perhaps his writers are aware of that and have been been taking advantage.
Not only are these segments annoying idol worship of the new star in the White House, and downright mean to a President who was all too human, you really have to wonder how long they intend to run with the joke.
The Obama idol worship is getting seriously annoying to me. And the continuous lampooning of Bush is a continual source of aggravation.
Jay Leno is becoming more like Letterman in his relentless Bush bashing. Leno's lame "What's George Bush Doing Today?" feature is an example.
It's time to mock Obama. Bush is gone.
The fact that Obama is offering up tons of material ripe for the picking, and late night kings Letterman and Leno are refusing to harvest any of it, reveals that they are more about pushing pro-Obama propaganda than entertaining their audiences and making them laugh.
The Bush jokes are so stale and pointless. They aren't funny. They're old and lack relevance.
The nightly monologues should be filled with topical humor, not warmed over crap.
This is Obama's time. The joke should be on him.

He IS the joke - but that joke, unfortunately, is on us...
What's happening in this country really is unbelievable. Obama's power grab is unlike anything ever done by an American president.
