10. There're still people who approve of Cheney/Bush. Isn't it obvious?

7. Letterman and Newman were colleagues/competitors
They both own racing teams. I have no doubt there's nothing but mutual respect there.

16. That was a heartfelt tribute..............
I had the distinct honour of meeting Paul and Joanne Newman when I was younger in Fairfield.I worked in Parmalee's Honda Shop when Paul Newman and his wife came in. The very first thing I noticed was his eyes, he really did have piercingly blue eyes. He also has a personality to match. He treated us who worked at the shop like we were the "Big Shots", he had genunine repsect for our skills.
There is a saying that goes "I wish I was the man my dog thinks I am". Paul Newman was that man!
Slán go fóill mo chara...Good Bye for now, my good friend

17. That was well worth watching.
And I haven't said that about Letterman since at least 1998. God bless you, Paul Newman.
