David Letterman, and like so many others in this country sicken me. What the far left exposes is to believe what I say, not as I do. And this affect hurts others who are moral and trustworthy, and degrades their own values. The only conclusive evidence of a man’s sincerity is he give himself to a principal. Words, money, all others is relatively simple to give away, but when a man makes a daily sacrifice of himself, it is evident that the truth, or lack of it, has taken possession of himself. David Letterman has shown his true colors by choosing to attack the Palin Family values, while engaging in his sexual misconduct and betrayal against his own family. What a slime ball you are!!!! I hope you are forced off the airwaves forever!!!

CBS should fire Letterman and hire Palin. Their ratings would fly off the wall. Would be the best move they could ever make.Letterman is old and washed up…but Palin is new and exciting.I can’t wait to see The Sarah Palin Late Show…Wasn’t she great on Saturday Night Live? Highest rating they ever got was when she made a guest appearance.Go Sarah Go…

It looks like Artie Lange is following in Letterman’s foot steps. He just made a joke on the Howard Stern show comparing Tom Cruise’s wife and adolescent daughter to a mother & daughter prostitute team from the Bunny Ranch in Las Vegas!

How is David Letterman’s comment different than Imus’ comments about girl’s basketball team? Shouldn’t David Letterman also be fired? Yes!!!!

Gov. Palin needs to remember some of the “crap” she has said during the presendential election. This is the same woman who used her special needs son as a shield to “cover up” her daughter’s pregnancy. Grow up!

Even in the apology, Mr. Letterman made jokes. This was and is not a joking matter. IF his apology had been sincere there would not have been underlying humor. this is not a joking matter. Many could say the same things, he has said about the Palin girls, about REGINIA. I’m sure others have thought about his life style. When you live in a glass house, you shouldn’t throw rocks.

Some of these comments posted reflect a failed public educational system and the failure to develop critical thinking skills. None of this is or should be about politics. To think otherwise is an indication of shallow partisan stupidity. It is this mentality that enables despots to encroach on our liberties, regardless of which political party. So enough already and grow up.The real issue here is whether a person on the media should be permitted to slander, degrade and abuse women and children for personal gain, without censure. As a single dad who is raising a young daughter, I found MR Letterman and Columbia Broadcasting to be benighted and profligate. As a business, they need to be bankrupted. Their FCC license revoked and Mr Letterman personally sued for slander and defamation of character. Additionally, he promotes violence against women, especially children and should be liable under current law for promoting hate crimes. He should be held liable for all future child rape cases.His boss is aware and should act quickly to avoid complicity.

Les Moovves needs to apply the same rules to Letterman that he did to Imus. That means Letterman needs to appologize all over the place and then get fired.

Just a funny joke ? Well lets ask this question…what would be the reaction of the American people if he made this same joke concerning one of Obama’s daughters ? All know he’d never go there with that type of joke but towards demeaning a family he thinks is politically correct and fun to do so he’ll do it. And sorry Letterman I don’t buy your lame statements later by saying words to the effect that yes it probably was over the top….probably? Why don’t you just step up to the plate and show some absolute sinerity and say you definately and uneqivically blew it BIG TIME…no such acknowledgement from you…spare America then your attempt to backtrack without clear acknowledging what you did was wrong.
