Letterman makes serious fun of Gov. Mike Pence
Indian Governor Mike Pence is dealing with more than threats of boycotts and the damage to his state’s reputation after signing the controversial Religious Freedom Restoration Act into law.
Now he’s squarely in the cross-hairs of TV’s late night hosts.
‘You hear nothing about the guy and boom! He’s in the headlines every day,’ said The Late Show host David Letterman.
‘This is not the Indiana I remember as a kid,’ Letterman said. ‘I lived there 27 years and folks were folks and that’s all there was to it. We all breathed the same air, we were all carbon-based life forms … and now this guy throws a monkey wrench into the works.’
‘Something’s gone haywire,’ Letterman added. ‘I can’t prove exactly what went haywire but it doesn’t pass the sniff test, as they say. It may be legal but it ain’t right.’
Letterman then launched into his top 10 list titled: ‘Guys who Mike Pence looks like.’
Among them: ‘The guy who makes his dog sleep outside,’ ‘The real estate agent whose photograph is on a bus bench,’ ‘The guy who keeps a baseball bat in his trunk,’ and ‘The guy who arrives to his high school reunion in a rented Ferrari.’

I’m a believer in the positive and I rather politicians give me a positive message, a negative one never has appealed or swayed my vote. If they are to deliver a message but they can not think of a positive one then just keep their mouths shut.
Today and tomorrow we American’s will only accept positive thoughts, words, deeds. Is not this what we really want?
