David Letterman devotes his Top Ten list to the ‘Top Ten Guys Indiana Governor, and signer of the ‘Religious Freedom’ Bill, Mike Pence looks like. Letterman is from the Hoosier State; a place he remembers fondly. Like many past and current residents of Indiana, Dave is dismayed to find the state in the spotlight due to Gov Mike Pence’s ‘Religious Freedom’ bill, which ensures anything but freedom for LGBT residents and visitors.
“This is not the Indiana I remember as a kid,” recalls Dave. “I lived there for twenty seven years, and folks were folks and that’s all there was to it.” Dave elaborates a bit, saying in brief, that we are all carbon based life forms with worries and families. “Everyone was better off, working hard and getting it done. Then this guy throws a wrench into the monkeyworks.”
While I have been under the impression that Pence planned walk the bill back, it has yet to happen. Dave harkens back to Pence’s disastrous press conference, saying “I don’t know what he’s talking about and I’m not as dumb as I look.” Dave isn’t, and his observation that ” something went haywire, it doesn’t pass the sniff test,” is highly accurate. Dave sums it up, saying: “It may be legal, but it ain’t right.”
Among the Ten Guys Mike Pence looks like, you’ll find certain behavior patterns…Which I won’t spoil for you.
It is undeniable that Pence resembles the real estate agent whose photograph is on the bus stop bench. Be sure to sit on it. Dave also mentions a product for which Pence’s white-haired good looks would make him an excellent spokesman. Perhaps someone should send a copy of Dave’s Top Ten list to Pence. He may be searching for other means of employment when the next election rolls around…Do you suppose?
The other ‘spoiler’ I can’t resist is Number Three on the list.
Dave compares Pence and the guy who won three national championships as head coach of the Indiana Hoosiers, Bobby Knight.
One can understand why Dave prefers the volatile Knight to Pence. Knight got results despite his outbursts, which were newsworthy but harmless. I suspect that you never had to wonder where you stood with him, and despite Knight’s volatile outbursts, he never sprung anything as absurd as the wild and wacky law Spence just dumped on us!
There is a bit of a resemblance. I wonder if Knight is interested in government?
