Related: About this forumDavid Letterman: 'The only person I can trust anymore is Al Franken'
http://www.startribune.com/david-letterman-on-al-franken-the-only-person-i-can-trust-anymore/415497964/[div class = "excerpt"]
David Letterman may have left his late-night perch nearly two years ago, but his words still carry weight.
His scathing comments about Donald Trump during a recent New York magazine interview has been in heavy circulation on the internet, but he also had some nice things to say about a certain Minnesota senator.
"The only person I can trust anymore is Al Franken, who has a great brain and a great heart," he told David Marchese. "I believe what he says."
Letterman went on to call Franken one of the smartest people he's ever met -- and one of the three funniest.
The other two: Norm Macdonald and long-time "SNL" writer Jim Downey.

on being careful and avoids all manner of small engine plane rides and honeypot lures in the years between then and now.

He's smart and has a razor-sharp wit. It's remarkable how effective an attack humor can be, especially when up against the utter nonsense being peddled by today's Retrumplican party.

I would love to see Al run, just want him to be careful. Can't afford to lose him.
