Letterman last night

posted by McFrozen on September 18, 2001

I don't know how many of you regularly watch Letterman. I usually don't, but occasionally do. I'm really glad I did last night. I tuned in just in time for the beginning of his monologue, and it was incredibly moving.

Here's a transcript.

It doesn't read like much, but he was on the verge of tears the entire time, and for some reason it was just one of the best things I've seen on TV since the attack. We tried to watch the rest, but Dan Rather was practically beside himself with emotion -- painfully so. He was rambling a little and starting to talk about decisive strikes and shit like that, so we decided to forgo the rest of the show in favor of something not-tragedy-related. It was amazing how hard it was to find anything.
