At first I thought this was a joke, because James Wolcott seems to be using what people are saying about this year's election (the Clinton/Obama fight, whether or not Clinton should step down, the fight hurting the Democratic party, etc) to take some satirical jabs at the late night talk show scene. But then I remembered this piece that Wolcott wrote in 2004 that infuriated me and realized that while he's obviously having fun, he's also serious.

The bottom line? David Letterman should retire as host of The Late Show with David Letterman since Jay Leno is the clear late night victor.

Let's take Wolcott's points one by one (read the two Wolcott columns above before going to the next page.)
