This attitude HAS to be one of the reasons he’s not hosting the tonight show.

See my post at #103.

I'd also like to mention if Momma Michelle were to punch Letterman in the nose, I'd help her!

"statuary rape"?

That would be really kinky, and probably quite painful.

At the very bottom of the Late Show with a-hole Letterman website, there is a "Feedback" link for commenting on any given program.

The screen that you'll see will look like this below. You apparently don't need to be a registered member of the site to send comments:

From NewsBusters.org, June 9, 2009...

Seven months after Election Day, and the attacks on Sarah Palin keep coming.

On Monday, CBS's David Letterman on the "Late Show" shamelessly went after the Alaska governor and her family during his opening monologue, as well as in his "Top Ten" list.

Top Ten Highlights Of Sarah Palin's Trip To New York

10. Visited New York landmarks she normally only sees from Alaska

9. Laughed at all the crazy-looking foreigners entering the U.N.

8. Made moose jerky on Rachael Ray

7. Keyed Tina Fey's car

6. After a wink and a nod, ended up with a kilo of crack

5. Made coat out of New York City rat pelts

4. Sat in for Kelly Ripa. Regis couldn't tell the difference.

3. Finally met one of those Jewish people Mel Gibson's always talking about

2. Bought makeup from Bloomingdale's to update her "slutty flight attendant" look

1. Especially enjoyed not appearing on Letterman

"One awkward moment for Sarah Palin at the Yankee game, during the seventh inning, her daughter was knocked-up by Alex Rodriguez."

I’d pay good money to watch Todd Palin kick his ass.

The urban/rural divide is really starting to show, any unity that existed is fading fast. The liberals really believe that anyone who does not live in a big city must be stupid.

I emailed Les Moonves.

Emailing Pravda would be more effective.

First, Letterman makes a gutter joke about Palin and her unnamed 14-year-old daughter attending a NY Yankees game. Then when a bit of outrage follows, he apparently claims he really meant to slur the other 18-year-old daughter who, back in Alaska, of course did not attend the game but was not named by Letterman. That would be okay, you see. Second, then he evokes the now common straw man "they" who are apparently "upset" with him, hoping to play the victim card... as if we are to weep that some mob is out to silence him... Third, he strangely amplifies his joke by confessing it really was about "raping" and "having sex of any description," but just not with a "14-year-old girl," suggesting it would have been okay had he just been more explicit and named Bristol, the 18-year-old. In Letterman's world, because Bristol is 18, she is a year past most statuary rape clauses and thus the joke would have only been about "raping or having sex of any description with a [18-year-old] girl."

May be some NY Freepers can volunteer to become part of the Letterman audience and boo The Jerk at the appropriate time?

the creep, a.k.a David Letterman

'bout sums it up, eh?

I received numerous responses to my emails all anxious to dissassociate themselves from Letterman:

Thank you VDH. It’s very plain to see why I have learned to detest liberal men over the years. They are users and fakes, and did I mention lazy?

[Tolik]

Good job!

I have grown to loathe Letterman, but I don’t see how his wife Regina could be “young enough to be his granddaughter”. They were dating for 23 years before he finally married her.
