He never was funny nor gifted IMO.
Decent, honest
Not words that apply to Letterman or Rather
Great post and AWESOME last paragraph!
Exactly, I wouldn’t waste my time watching him.
Welcome to FR!
"You used to be in pictures. You used to be big."
"I'm still big. It's the pictures that got small."
Dave, I fear you are ready for your closeup...and it's not going to be pretty.
Letterman has never been funny & Conan is dull.
I now get to sleep earlier.
>>He never was funny nor gifted IMO.<<
I thought he was. Back at the time of the Velcro suit, if you could see a “Best of Letterman” you would laugh your butt off.
Great blog post... Thanks for posting!
I fell asleep in my favorite chair last night and awoke to David Letterman discussing this on his show. It was so disgusting I turned it off. His audience was laughing and clapping as he was quoting from what he said. This was not an apology, it was a celebration of what he said.
I have a special place for people who fantasize publicly about rape or defame women as sluts, (unless they are sluts). Sarah Palin is a champion of women. She is self-made and has done many things that most men or women never achieve. That she is the mother of a handicapped child and is devoted to that child and the rest of her childen and her husband is ridiculed by people like letterman.
letterman would probably never make fun of queers or homos like Ellen Degeneres.
I guess its time to boycott the advertisers on the letterman show as well as the cable channel that shows this scumbag.
Great article.
And welcome to FreeRepublic!
For those who did not follow the details on the RatherGate thing, I found this week a piece that was new to me. It was about a Dallas Morning News writer that has recently been slanderously critical of the Tea Party movement and his previous connection with Dan Rather’s mess.
His name is Wayne Slater.

It follows:
For those who don’t know, Slater was the one who brought forth Bill Burkett — the man who provided the phony documents to Dan Rather’s editor, Mary Mapes — as a credible witness despite overwhelming evidence that Burkett was a serial liar and basic.
Since Slater works with Mary Mapes’ husband, Mark Wrolstrad, and since I had raised such a stink about Burkett to so many editors and reporters at the Morning News before Rather’s story broke, I have no idea how Slater kept his job.
He and I made peace one night during the time that Rather’s story was “falling faster than Bill Clinton’s pants at a sorority party,” and I sincerely believe that he was sorry for what he had done.

I worked in the same company with Bill Burkett many years ago. So I had a personal interest in the Rathergate thing.
PLEASE take a minute to send off a comment to CBS HERE:

Haven’t watched Letterman in years. I never thought he was all that funny, but his Top 10 lists were amusing at times.
I have sent my comments to SeeBS about Letterman’s despicable remarks but I’m not expecting them to do anything about it.
And, they wonder why they are scraping the bottom of the ratings barrel.
Renew Letterman for another 10 years, SeeBS, and see what ratings h#ll is REALLY like!!!
You should have heard lettermans “apology”. He thought he was making jokes about the 18 year old. As if that is soooo much more appropriate.

My compliments on the finest first-post-vanity I have ever read on Free Republic!
