When you call the show, ask for Rob Burnett, the executive producer.

"I like Letterman, but he should be very careful. This could finish him!"

I hope Letterman ISN'T careful.

I hope to God this DOES finish him.

Do you still like Letterman?

He certainly had a lot more class than Letterman.

The words "class" and "Letterman" should NEVER be used in the same sentence.

Dentally-disabled former Ball State weatherman.


Just as irrelevant as you might have imagined.

Letterman is a mindless, overpaid liberal jerk. The last time I watched his "show" was when he was drooling through his split front teeth over Madonna's boobs. The man is a pig.

When I read his anti-American comments, I wish that he had not survived his by-pass.

This screwball would be in a meat grinder if he were up against Cheney or Rummy.

Then again, they'd refuse to appear on his dopey, stooopid show.

His approach caters to the unwashed, illiterate, fat, rapper, adolescent, piggy, tattood, pierced, unshaven, disheveled, rats.

I believe that if he showed up in Camp Le Jeaunne or Camp Pendleton, Letterman would be verbally ripped apart by our troops.

/rant... It's getting late. God Bless our Military. Cheers to the only guys on the Federal payroll that earn a living... and by risking dieing. You guys and gals are THE BEST of America.

"He was so refreshing....now, he's just old".
-----It seems to be happening all round. Did you catch
Robert Klein's Comedy Special a few weeks ago?
My wife and I looked at each other and said "He's
not funny anymore!" It seemed to me he had morphed into his generation's Alan King. Christ, he even did an
extended bit featuring VIAGRA JOKES!

Letterman is expressing a deep dislike if not hatred for the President.

He has been doing so for about two years now, and I've never seen anything like it. What Dave has been up to lately is different than barbs at Johnson and/or Nixon over the Vietnam War by the Smothers Brothers (although they were shocking at the time), nor are they typical Saturday Night Live potshots taken at the current President because he's the President. This stuff is vicious, nastier than anything that Jon Stewart would say. It's closer to Bill Maher territory.

A quick example: When this whole NSA business started up, Dave set up a bit by saying (to the best of my memory) that the President was wiretapping without warrants, but mentioning the purpose of trying to catch Al Qaida communications with American operatives. Then came a shot of Biff Henderson on a phone saying, "Hey, Bush! Mind your own f-BLEEP-ing business, dumbass!"

I don't know why anyone wastes their time on Letterman or the witless Leno when there are so many good books to read.

Good for you! I couldn't have said it any better myself! You've earned my respect with that comment.

CA....

9/11 taught us, or should have taught us, that when someone declares war on you either by word or deed, you have no choice but to respond in kind.

Well, damn! You'd think that lesson would have been learned from 12/7 rather than 9/11. It's a shame that we, as a nation, have to re-learn the same lesson...

What do you expect the mindless man don't even know enough to marry his child mother since he is living with her!

I am sure Letterman does not realized how self center he is as though those around him are there for his pleasure!

Carsons' choice was Letterman but it wasn't his choice to make.

Proof?

NBC hired Leno, there is your proof I guess.

I hardly watch Letterman, but I will catch this last act of his. I always like watching career ending TV.

PERFECT!!!

And thanks for the warning, gang!!! Letterman's definitely on my chit list now!

He's kept dancing right on the edge for so long... Now he's no longer an "edge-man." He's outta here!!! (and that Canadian Paul, too!)

He used to be funny, but things went downhill in the late 90s when he stopped doing the man on the street stuff.

My favorite guy now is Craig Ferguson.

THIS GUY IS AWESOME.

However, however, that does not eliminate the legitimate speculation and concern and questioning of ‘Why the Hell are we there to begin with?’”

Thanks a lot for taking the transcript PJ Comix. What an idiot Letterman is. I never watch Letterman. I hardly watch TV and just happened to see my husband had O'Reilly and Letterman up on the computer screen so I tuned in. I caught the last little bit. Get over it Dave. We are over there. It doesn't matter why really at this point. The whole world thought he had WMD. George didn't pull it out of his hat. It's old news. We are over there. Quit whining. Quit feeling sorry for the America hater Sheehan. President Bush can't base his foreign policy on the feelings of one once bereaved now lunatic mother. And BTW since you care so much for mothers, did you ever marry the mother of your child or will he forever be a celebrity bastard baby?
