Bingo! A winner!!! This is the marketplace deciding off with his head in a figural manner. Letterman crossed the line and now the public is coming after him. In what world must we listen to more of this anti child/anti woman crap? He had his free speech and now the rest of the free people are having their say. Do not forget for one moment that we are now at war.

we support free speech

Sure. The Left demanded we not use Hussein's middle name during the campaign and we sure fought back for our free speech rights, didn't we?

As repulsive as people can be we still have protection and freedom of speech in this country.

Yes we do. Letterman excercised his with his remarks denigrating the Palins.

Now our side is excercising our free speech rights by calling for his firing.

What's wrong with that?

"I really don’t care what you think. Thanks for taking the time in between gulps of cheap liquor to post though." I don't drink and you are pretty small for stooping to such a hateful smear, but I'll play.....

Are you a Letterman aide? You sound just like him. Got any under age girls on your lap right now you want to insult?

Busting up those networks would HELP them more than hurt.

Myself, I have had a HUGE chuckle out of this.

Imus was wrong...so was Letterman.

But a rose is a rose.

Imus was fired. Letterman should be, too (won't happen). Maybe he could go to work for HGTV.

If Palin does nothing else in her life but to stand up to this nonsense, she will have succeeded.

Good for Briand and Gary, but what’s up with these NY Republicans?

When Letterman gets old and is hanging out in city parks...

I think that's what scares Letterman the most--being painted as a lecherous old man. Calls for firing are just good PR, but when Palin made this all about a sexually inappropriate comment about a 14 y.o. girl, she sure got the d-bag's attention.

If Letterman is going to be a bigoted creep on TV, he should at least be an equal opportunity bigoted creep.

NYS assembly has been Dem controlled since the mid 1960’s. To my knowledge the GOP has never retaken it since.

That’s the guy Letterman is sleeping with? No wonder he’s having fantasies about Palin and her daughters.

If Palin wins in 2012, we have to convince her that GULAGS are a good idea. I would love to see Letterman in a forced labor camp eating rat sh*t to stay alive.

As I understand it, Letterman rehearses the show with a live audience and then makes adjustments to the material before he shoots the actual on air show.

If true, he must have loved the audience reaction to keep the joke in his monologue.
