The Recovering Liberal has a good read up about David Letterman still spiraling downward as he eats his ratings out, watching Leno clean up with Sarah Palin on in the first week back.
Is there a pattern of commitment to self-destruction afoot? Letterman seems to resemble the POTUS in the negative glide slope department. Soundgarden is probably too dark for this point, but there seems to be a thread of the deliberate afoot:
Hello don’t you know me
I’m the dirt beneath your feet
The most important fool you forgot to see
I’ve seen how you give it
Now I want to receive
I know that you
Would do the same for meI know I’m headed for the bottom
But I’m riding you all the way
For all of your kisses turned
To spit in my face
For all that reminds me
Which is my place
For all the times when
You made me disappear
This time I’m sure you will
Know that I’m hereI know I’m headed for the bottom
But I’m riding you all the wayMy place was beneath you
But now I’m above
And now I send you a message
Of love
A simple reminder of what
You won’t see
A future so holy without meI know I’m headed for the bottom
But I’m riding you all the way
David, call me. I will go on your show. That will boost your ratings.

One of my favorites from Soundgarden. Negative glideslope = augering in
