Following a week of back and forth between CBS late night comic David Letterman and Sarah Palin over a crude joke he told about the Alaska Republican governors daughter, the Olive Garden restaurant says it is cancelling all of its scheduled ads on Lettermans Late Show for the rest of the year.

Yea! Darden owns Olive Garden, Red Lobster and several more. We eat at their places often. Can't remember if Darden was one I emailed, but i think so. The list of sponsors I had was confusing and often lead to "customer complaint" with blanks to fill out about last visit, etc.

Reminds me of my favorite Richard Simmons bits.
It was Eddie Murphy as "Little Richard" Simmons.
He successfully merged the two of them into one character.

He is? My husband and I liked Leno, even if we didn’t like his political “humor” at times. We’ve really tried to listen to Conan and finally gave up. We couldn’t find the slightest funny word in the show. We can’t stand Letterman, so our TV just gets turned off earlier than it used to.

Palin PING!
Anyone on or off the Palin ping, write me.
Olive Garden dumps Letterman. Make sure to thank Olive Garden. I'm going also to eat there next time, so they'll get the message.

Wish I had an Olive Garden near me. I would go there for a meal, and make damn sure I told the manager why I came.
To: BCrago66
Love Olive Garden and now I have an excuse to eat there twice as often!

I’m reminded that I’m so tired of the trailer trash label. I’ve known many fine people who live/lived in trailers and in trailer parks. Just because people are living within their means on limited money doesn’t mean they have low standards and it’s way past time the media realized it!

He never apologized for the overlooked insults either. He also called her an anti semite and a crack whore.
