It will be respected in future posts because I follow Johnny Carson's advice to never do anything to alienate half your audience.
Regardless of your political leanings, no one has come close to filling Johnny's shoes. He knew that his job was to entertain. Period. It's not that he didn't have strong political opinions, but his vast audience wasn't watching every night to hear him give political commentary. When it came to his monologue, he poked fun equally at politicians on both sides of the aisle, but it was never nasty or mean spirited. I miss those days...
