Letterman has jumped the shark.
The recent bad jokes about Palin and her daughter shows that Letterman has jumped the shark. A term used to describe a TV shows beginning of the end. This usually corresponds to the point where a show with falling ratings apparently becomes more desperate to draw in viewers. In the process of undergoing these changes, the TV or movie series loses its original appeal. Shows that have "jumped the shark" are typically deemed to have passed their peak.
Face it if Letterman cannot or will not attack Obama or the Clintons so his show has lost the political satire that he used to do. So all he can do to appear current is make disgusting jokes about safe targets, like Palin and her daughter. The fact that he has to make vulgar disgusting comments shows that he has gotten to old and bitter, and lost his edge. To attack a 14 or even 18 year old girl with a cheap shot is just sad, and show he has nothing left. I don’t think that Letterman’s contract will be renewed, and he may be off the air in less than two years.
Letterman reminds me of the shifty eyed children’s photographer - fired for saying “sex it up” to the kiddies.
Alot has been said on FR about Mrs. Letterman’s appearance.
I say - give the woman a break.
She has to wake up every day next to David Letterman.
I think it already has been renewed through 2012.
Letchermann: Too Dumb to get into College, so he becomes the CBS Intellectual along with Kati Colonic:-)
Note the Baggie Pants on Mrs. Letchermann, she looks positively Divine! almost as Beautiful as Mrs. OBOZO:-)
No Wonder Mr. Letchermann is Insanely Jealous and Bitter about OUR GORGEOUS SARAH PALIN and HER STUNNINGLY GORGEOUS FAMILY WHO ARE REAL PATRIOTIC AMERICANS!!!
Three more years of avoidance, if so...
I LOVE THAT JOKE! May I have your permission to reuse it?
> Weird how two butt-ugly people can produce a great looking kid sometimes, isn’t it?
The child in the picture is a “Courtesy Kid” they get to use while theirs is at the vet getting his shots.
I'm not going to give her a break. She married one of the most vile and disgusting louts in the entertainment industry. What's that say about her?
Compare her choice of husbands to Sarah Palin's. Speaks volumes, I'd say.
LOL!
Is that Dave’s wife?
Poor Letterman, trying to claw his way into history through insults.
It means nothing, and will mean nothing.
What a pathetic poor minded man.
It amazes me that people can still stomach Lecherman.
He was funny but heck that was 15 years ago.
He as sucked since.
Hopefully at my job I can completely suck for 15 years and still get paid.
I agree. His son is adorable. Wish my children were that age again!
I've still got a four year old (he's the baby), and yes, he's adorable. It only took me six times to finally get it perfect ;-)
I love all of 'em, but that one's my heart.
The joke about hoping Letterman dies of heart failure is a reference to the Wanda Sykes “joke” about hoping Rush’s kidneys fail and the fact that Letterman had a heart bypass a few years ago.
They want to play hardball, I say, “batter up!”
