Thanks Quin. I didn't know that.

Golly. I guess it wasn't a joke then. More like a "moment of personal reflection".

From Don Sweeney's book "Backstage at the Tonight Show":

"In the late '70s David Letterman used to substitute as host...when Johnny Carson took vacations. I had noticed that Letterman behaved in a peculiar manner prior to the start of each show...Sometimes he would walk down the hall and over to the vending machine area just moments before the show would start. Letterman started banging on one of the candy machines, shaking it and nearly tipping it over...The problem here was that David never deposited any money.

"[One] particular night...I went into the men's room just before the start of the show and found David Letterman standing in full make-up with tissue papers still tucked around the inside of his collar so as to keep it clean from make-up before the show...Letterman was trying to tuck his shirt into his pants without tucking in his jacket as well. All the time he was doing this, he had his eyes affixed to an imaginary dot on the wall....I thought to myself, what would America think of David Letterman if they knew the strange rituals he went through before entering the curtain to entertain them?"

Outstanding, Quin---direct and to the point! Letterman also know something about 'RAPE' [ and TORTURE], since his ancestors, friends, and their relatives were similarily treated at various concentration camps throughout Germany from 1932 to 1945. I am infuriated over his dastardly, rude, crude and socially unacceptable humor at the expense of an 18 year old [oops, I forgot, it was the 14 year old at the ballgame] female SOLELY FOR POLITICAL PURPOSES. Last night, the moron made some crack about a $150000 wardrobe [hasn't he heard that Palin and the Republicans returned all of those clothes post election---nah, he's probably too STUPID!]. Why doesn't he make jokes about Michelle Obama's million dollar clothes deals with the likes of J-Crew [becuase he too chicken excrement, that's why]. letterman has NEVER been funny in my opinion, and I fail to see his attraction. He was once a writer for Johnny Carson, and that's about the extent of his success. His 10 list is boring and dull, and his so-called humor is pathetic!!!!!

The latest from Letterman: ["Well, it's been a busy week here on the Late Show. Earlier in the week, I made some jokes that upset Sarah Palin. I was telling jokes about her family and stuff. She got really upset. And I think everything's fine now. I think everything's going to be great because she called today and invited to take me hunting"]. Hopefully [for 'ol Dave's sake], Palin didn't once receive hunting instructions from Cheney!!!!!

Comedy is dangerous business. I still don't know if he wrote this joke or even saw it ahead of time. For all we know he just gets up and reads the teleprompter.

Letterman's being painted as a dirty old pervert. Good. That's going to leave a mark. lol

ds80| 6.12.09 @ 4:18PM

Missy: "being painted as a dirty old pervert"

Nope. Letterman himself hung a huge pulsing neon sign around his own neck.

The perverted lefties are terrified of Sarah. She is genuine, connects with We The People and fights back on principles and decency. And all the perverts have is the culture of personal destruction even if it means attacking little innocent children. But this won't work with Sarah because she has integrity, core values and will fight back... that's a WINNER!!

Sarah should be the example for all the spineless, gutless,cave-in RINOs out there. Fight back on principles and core values and the lunatic left will continue to expose themselves for what they really are... dispicable, vacuous fraud!!!

RUN, SARAH, RUN!!!

ds80--However it happens, it's okay with me. In fact, I love it!! Ha ha.

What a nasty old dirtbag David Bitterman is. Sleazy Pervert.

The New York audience was even worse.

Letterman,who acts the moral paragon, finally got around to marrying the mother of his son. Unfortunately for the son, once born on the wrong side of the blanket the "late" marriage or legal status doesn't erase the reality that the kid will always be a "bastard" Luckily for the kid, he didn't choose his parents.

I saw a picture of David Bitterman's wife--egad, woman, apply a little makeup and brush your hair.

What is it with liberal women?

Warrior| 6.12.09 @ 9:34PM

What Dave did was perfectly fine. Now, if Sarah played basketball, spoke ebonics...or if Dave used the word ho (there is a tremendous difference in this word rather than slut) that would be different, just ask Don Imus.

Angel| 6.13.09 @ 12:32AM

Yeah, but Willow is only fourteen years old. She's still a baby. That's not right.

Letterman should be tarred and feathered.
