TV without Letterman?

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?

Sebastian Gray suggests how to communicate viewer displeasure to Letterman's advertisers.

All Aboard David?

I thought you were a guy interested in facts and some sense of truth. Yet, here you are on the bandwagon of the spin machine.

View the actual joke or post a transcript. Sarah has bigger problems at home and she dragged her 14 year old into the fray, not Lettermen.

David says:

Jeffrey obviously did not view the videos and probably has no children. Letterman hits on a 14-year old and then apologizes by saying he meant to hit on the 18-year old sister!

Imagine him saying that about the Obama children or your children.

I agree...he is clearly past his sell date and brings a bad taste to late night TV now!

Oh dear, I have absolutely no idea who David Letterman is, but he sounds like an unpleasant man. Isn't it a pity that the cult of celebrity breeds the worst kind of people whereas the world is full of so many unsung (and unrewareded) heroes?

This is nonsense. Letterman's joke was very similar to the jokes that many other late night comics have made about Palin's 18 year old daughter (who has a child.) ...It saddens me that you would repeat this attack on Letterman's character without looking into the topic more intelligently.

David responds: David Letterman has no character to attack. Lewd remarks about teenagers is about all that he has going for him these days.

As for premarital sex, David is no class act himself.
He finally married his girlfriend now that his son is 5 yrs old.

I don't feel you brought anything new to the conversation, but I will add your name to the "defenders of degenerate David Letterman".

Hi David,

Sorry I don't have any facts about the latest Sarah Palin events. Apparently nobody does since she didn't offer any.

It's probably Letterman's fault.

I hope enough information will evolve so we can read your article about Politics without Palin.

Letterman is one of those people who will stoop to any level in order to get a laugh and make a political statement. His "apology" was really full of poop, and so is he. He should have stuck to trying to still be funny even after he's an irrelevant old man. Kind of reminds me of the liberal idiot Bill Maher.
