from last night's show:

Top Ten Things Heard In Line To Buy Hillary Clinton's Book

• 10. "At last we'll cut through the lies and get to the embellished, politically motivated truth"
• 9. "Do we get a discount if we've had sex with Bubba?"
• 8. "Hey, the Whitewater chapter is all shredded"
• 7. "Why ain't your husband king no more?"
• 6. "Hillary Clinton? Crap, I thought it was the new Harry Potter book"
• 5. "That Barnes and Noble cashier looks a lot like Al Gore"
• 4. "I hear the section about Bill is a pop-up book"
• 3. "The last time I was at one of these, Rosalyn Carter showed up drunk"
• 2. "Twenty-eight bucks for a book? That Lewinskys"
• 1. "I feel weird doing this with your wife right there, Mr. Clinton"

Exactly. Oh well, she'll make all the rounds and then she will fade along with her book of lies.

[victim soul]

I passed it along -- don't know if I'll find any takers.

From way back to her first lame canned appearance:

David Letterman - The Top Ten Reasons I Was So Lame with Hillary

[L.N. Smithee]

Iff'n you get a chance, ask her is she wears the strap-on or Tipper.

Ewwwww. You've done WAY too much thinking about this.

[Rockitz]

Thanks!

[L.N. Smithee]

Worse, [David Letterman] uses a laugh track so all audience reaction is replaced digitally.

Source, please. If none is forthcoming, I will have to assume you don't have one.

[Amore]

That's so tempting! Gee, how much does a flight from Florida to New York cost nowadays?

[Rockitz]

$109 RT from JAX.

Would love to help out, but I can't take time off and after work, I have a doctor's appointment.
I wish you guys a great Freep...wish I were there.

[Amore]

Aren't you in California?

[Rockitz]

I got rocket bidness in northern Jersey on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

[Amore]

Well, if no New Yorkers step forward, I'll consider it. How'd you get the tickets? Are you actually a fan?

[Rockitz]

I've been a Letterman fan for years. His morning show was a hoot and his sense of humor is very close to mine. He's from my hometown of Indianapolis, Indiana. I would say that he was relatively apolitical until the past few years. I still watch his monologue at least once a week.

On the website http://www.cbs.com/latenight/lateshow// there is a way that you can ask for tickets for when you are in town and I did that.

HOW TO BE A GOOD DEMOCRAT ...


1. You have to believe that the AIDS virus is spread by a lack of federal funding.

2. You have to believe that the same teacher who can't teach 4th graders how to read is somehow qualified to teach those same kids about sex.

3. You have to believe that guns in the hands of law-abiding Americans are more of a threat, than U.S. nuclear weapons technology, in the hands of Chinese &North Korean communists.

4. You have to believe that there was no art before Federal funding.

5. You have to believe that global temperatures are less affected by cyclical, documented changes in the earth's climate, and more affected by soccer moms driving SUVs.

6. You have to believe that gender roles are artificial, but being homosexual is natural.

7. You have to be against capital punishment, but support abortion on demand.

8. You have to believe that businesses create oppression, and governments create prosperity.

9. You have to believe that hunters don't care about nature, but loony activists who have never been outside of San Francisco do.

10. You have to believe that self-esteem is more important than actually doing something to earn it.

11. You have to believe that the military, not corrupt politicians, start wars.

12. You have to believe the NRA is bad, because it supports certain parts of the Constitution, while the ACLU is good because it supports certain parts of the Constitution.

13. You have to believe that taxes are too low, but ATM fees are too high.

14. You have to believe that Margaret Sanger and Gloria Steinem are more important to American history than Thomas Jefferson, General Robert E.Lee and Thomas Edison.

15. You have to believe that standardized tests are racist, but racial quotas and set-asides are not.

16. You have to believe that Hillary Clinton is normal, and really a very nice person.


17. You have to believe that the only reason socialism hasn't worked anywhere it's been tried, is because the right people haven't been in charge.

18. You have to believe conservatives telling the truth belong in jail, but a liar and sex offender belonged in the White House.

19. You have to believe that illegal Democratic Party funding by the Chinese government is somehow in the best interests of the United States.

20. You have to believe that this letter is part of a vast right wing conspiracy.

"Letterman's a wimp. He never has had the guts to take on Hillary and democrats in the past, and he won't today."

Why should Letterman challenge Hillary (or Democrats) on his show? Letterman's dog and pony act is not The O'Reilly Factor or Hannity & Colmes. Letterman is not an elected official or journalist.

It's not about Letterman being a wimp, it's the simple fact that his show is not a political debating forum (nor should it be).

Don't get me wrong: I want to see Hillary terribly embarrassed, as the result of being presented with some tough questions, but these tough questions have got to come from O'Reilly, Hannity, etc. -- NOT Letterman! There’s a time and a place for all this, but it’s not just before Midnight on a Monday.

[Amore]

Yes, hate to admit it here (I really hate being flamed!), but I'm a long-time fan too. I remember watching the morning show sometimes, but wasn't that around 1982? I was kind of busy, in law school 82-85. Paul Shaffer would have done the show too, but he couldn't get up that early.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Good luck and be careful.

Remember Letterman had his "heart attack" within hours of his last Madame Defarge interview.

[Amore]

You make a good point. Except for the fact that, while he totally rolls over for Hillary and the like, he doesn't extend the same "courtesy" to Bush. Bush, he really grilled. I don't understand it, a good midwestern boy, he ought to have more common sense. I guess it's too many years of hanging out with Hollywood types.

[hellinahandcart]

Preference given to single, young, conservative babes!

Okay, two out of three...LOL

Rockitz, I'll have to get back to you.
