Why David Letterman Needs To Go

From David St. Lawrence:

David Letterman has lost all value as an entertainer.

He has made the long descent from his early wise-cracking humor to making lewd remarks about 14-year Willow Palin.

This was not an off-the-cuff remark. It was a carefully scripted and rehearsed part of the Letterman show on CBS.

His degraded attempts to throw up a smokescreen afterward show his lack of human decency.

Firms like Olive Garden, Mars Candy, and Kelloggs have no place supporting the leering comments from this long past sell-date TV figure. Great positioning guys! Corporate America has enough on its hands without supporting sexual assault on minors.

CBS must be looking at new ways to boost ratings. What will they think of next?

Yeah, I heard his second "apology". Insincere and smarmy, just like the man himself.

This is well known that cash can make us independent. But what to do when somebody has no cash? The one way is to get the personal loans or sba loan.

::)While commenting, I have some random feedback for Insight. I'm not sure how much control you have over customizing your menu system, but the menu system could look so much slicker. While it's just cosmetic, it would make the whole channel surfing more enjoyable. **+**

12/30/2009 Dave insults again. It time he is forced off the air. My husband will not watch him. It seems like personal assault on Sara Palin

In Alinskian political warfare, into which Letterman was drafted, the enemy is destroyed by false accusations and by slander. Any personality that rises out of the targeted country as a populist hero is seen as especially dangerous. They and all who identify with them must be destroyed ASAP so that the levelling of society and its reshaping into a socialist antfarm tyranny can be advanced at quantum leaping speed.

If Letterman was talking about Bristol(and I have my doubts), a proper apology would acknowledge he wrongly pulled an 18 year old noncombatant into the spotlight; would acknowledge he wrongly subjected her to ridicule and scorn. David Letterman cannot admit, to himself or to the nation, he was intentionally cruel to an 18 year old noncombatant; cannot admit he was wrong to subject a noncombatant to ridicule and scorn.

I don't understand why a joke about pulling Alex Rodriguez off of an 18 year old girl is acceptable. Bristol Palin is not in politics. She's never made political speeches. She claps and cheers: yea Mom!, and that's it. It's not right to go after a civilian; a noncombatant. It wouldn't be right if she were 48 years old.

It's not justified b/c she had a child. She's a civilian. It's not justified.

It's not justified b/c she attempts to do the right thing by speaking out about the difficulties of being an unwed mother; it's not justified because she attempts to do the right thing via representing teen abstinence. Is this what comedy is? If you are 18, and you try to positively influence teenaged girls, then we will rip into you?

It was only justified, in Letterman's and his audience' minds, by Sarah Palin being a rube. Thus it was not justified at all.

I used to enjoy Letterman, but he has become downright mean.

I don't watch him any more.

Give it a rest. It was obvious he made an error and was talking about Bristol...the actual slutty teenage parent.

It doesn't matter anyway. By the time Palin runs in 2012, Willow will be an unwed mom too.

CBS will have to find another lefty before they drop Old Dave.
