What he did was so grievous, so serious, so dastardly, so dark, that I don’t think he will be able to laugh it off.

Did you actually see the show where he did this?

He attempted to. But he only succeeded in highlighting his own buffoonery. ...and his sick mind.

Call CBS. Call N.O.W. Call his sponsors and tell them you’re boycotting.
FIRE DAVID LETTERMAN.

Letterman’s career is in the toilet, all he has left are the leftist loons who would jump off a cliff if Obama told them to. This is all he has left. So instead of being a MAN and saying “I’m sorry, I didn’t think this would go as far as it did, I apologize” no, what does the jackass do, he makes MORE jokes..God I hope his son grows up to be a decent human being, he won’t learn how to be a good one from his father

Once an actor or comedian goes overtly political, it’s pretty much a concession that their career is on the wane and they’re just trying to stay relevant. The guy’s a clown, so don’t take his opinion too seriously.

Yes but when it goes from an “opinion” to an attack depicting RAPE OF A 14 YEAR OLD it has to be dealt with.

"Letterman’s career is in the toilet..."

I wish his career was in the toilet. Heck, I wish my career was in his toilet. He just signed another two-year, $30(ish) million a year deal with CBS.

It's been a long, long time since I've been as upset about something that I've seen on TV as I am right now. His absolutely disrespectful, unmanly and just downright hateful attack on the Palins tonight, along with the audience's approval is sad beyond description.

I literally do not recognize this country anymore. How anyone, secular or religious, could think what he said was appropriate let alone funny in any way, truly is a mystery to me. Not only is Letterman going to keep his job, but he's going to make tens of millions in the process. It's sad beyond words.

I’m pleased to see the fire FReepers have in their bellies. This is the only way we’re going to change things. We need to make victims of the radicals and their apologists. Go get ‘em!!!!

I agree. It’s both sad and angering. I don’t recognize half of this country. We’re in the “cold civil war.” What comes next is anybody’s guess.

I have refrained from commenting on this until I watched both the monologue and the top ten list. I have no issue with the top ten portion (Slutty flight attendant...), it was a cheap shot, low brow, toilet humor kind of comment, but what does one expect from an overrated, over exposed hack whose best days are behind him? Letterman stopped being funny years ago.

However, I hope you are not going to defend a joke made about a baseball player fornicating a 14 year old girl during the seventh inning stretch, or are you?

Nice try Dave...your humor is sleaze pal and not very funny.
Plus you are a has been-—sour face and all. All things come to an end and that’s about where you are with your Late Nite show. Like an old boxer you are washed up.
Go and retire already and if CBS does not get some new blood in your slot then they will keep circling the drain.

Doesn't matter. It's a barb in their side to admit they're not really about women's rights.. only LIBERAL women's rights.

Believe me, I get it about N.O.W. but I'm complaining to anybody/everybody.

It's available on youtube, so we don't have to give the creepy old pig of a perv any ratings.
