Letterman's an ass. Let's not judge a country that produced Neil Patrick Harris and Sesame Street so harshly. If this interview had occurred with Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Ellen DeGeneres, Rosie O'Donnell, Oprah, or Craig Ferguson, the contrast with the 'lands across the pond' wouldn't seem so stark. Ellen and Brad Pitt just did a little bit where they sent a Chippendale dancer over to George Clooney's to try to entice him onto Ellen's show and no one recoiled in homophobic horror IIRC.
