(5,128 posts)43. Your point is critical. This is network.
Imagine if Dave took a night each week for the rest of his career flipping off the Stooges for being so venal.
Imagine if he didn't care if he went out like that. Twenty million viewers getting reminded they are living in a sham democracy. He won't really spend his last years with the bookmobile lady, the guy under the stairs, and dropping things off a five-story building, will he?
Imagine the networks taking him out after he put 1,000 more of these shows on before they pull the plug.
He could get over his self-hatred, retire a hero, and cripple this beast.

I like the part where he says, "Let's keep it up a little longer". Cracks me up! n/t
