Agree totally with you, Bruce. And I think Sarah is exactly right. Besides if she got on Letterman's show she might take umbrage at something else that idiot would say and punch him out - she probably could do the job with ease. God help him if Todd is on his show and takes umbrage. The results would not be pretty - deserved but not pretty.
