Letterman gives McGreevey-themed Top Ten
by Joel Keller, posted Sep 29th 2006 6:32PM
Remember the days when people used to talk about David Letterman's Top Ten List? You'd be at work or school the next day, and someone would inevitably bring up one of the better lines from the previous night's Top Ten, or talk about the whole list if they did a weird one. Nowadays, of course, no one talks about the Top Ten anymore; heck, it's so old hat that even Letterman doesn't care about it anymore, often delivering it in a perfunctory "I'm just giving the audience what they want" manner.But the Top Ten from last night was one of the rare instances where the writers really did a great job, coming up with a funny, edgy list. The topic? "Chapter Titles in Jim McGreevey's Book." The book in question is The Confession, where the former New Jersey governor writes about how he kept his homosexuality secret until a scandal forced him to come out of the closet. They invited McGreevey to come on to read it, but for some reason he didn't bother. Looking at the list, I can see why he might have had a problem. So they had staff writer Gerard Mulligan read it. The list is after the jump, directly from the Late Show's website:
Chapter Titles in Jim McGreevey's Book
#10. "The Day I Got Caught Governing Myself."
#9. "How To Pretend to Like Girls for 47 Years."
#8. "From Schwarzenegger to Pataki: Governors I'd Like To Oil Up."
#7. "Another Confession: I Can't Resist Entenmann's Pound Cake"
#6. "At First I Thought I Was Bipartisan"
#5. "The New Jersey Budget Crisis: What Would Judy Garland Do?"
#4. "A Look At The Governor's Balls"
#3. "Politicians Who Left A Bad Taste In My Mouth"
#2. "How To Push Through a Bill . . . . or a Steve or a Larry"
#1. "Why I Don't Like Bush"
