A Boor and a Coward [Victor Davis Hanson tears apart the creep, a.k.a David Letterman]

Oh, sorry - that’s dropping down to his level, isn’t it?

Not at all. That is the truth.

” I would never, never make jokes about raping or having sex of any description with a 14-year-old girl.”

I’d like to see Todd slap him around.

[kidd]

That’s huge.

You must make that announcement its own thread. It would be very encouraging to all of us.

[Clemenza]

I can think of a few choice words for David that can’t be repeated on a family website.

[Tolik]

“...he was still cracking angry jokes about Bush and Cheney, and they weren’t even close to funny...”

Stewart and Colbert are no moderates neither and are crude and obnoxious, but at least they are funny, at least half of the time. On a very few occasions I stumbled on Letterman by clicking the remote control, he was not funny. Jay Leno is funnier, the soup guy Joel McHale is funnier, Conan is funnier, Jimmy Kimmel is funnier. Letterman is a loser.

If homosexuals get called names....And if they don't like it...

IMHO, if someone wants to try on a shoe, then announce loudly that it fits, then they should wear it.

Embassy Suites has pulled their ads from CBS

Source? I ask because there was a FReeper yesterday who said specifically that he was going to call and cancel stays there over this.

'Twould be nice to know that a boycott had some affects.

[wbill]

Never mind, I just needed to keep readin’. :-)

[Never on my watch]

I would just like Todd to carry the fight on from here with continued rebuttals to Letterman.

i.e. It is not an apology to say it is OK to rape my 18 year old daughter! and am I to understand that you still find it OK to call may wife slutty? Would you care to say it to my face?

By the way, I think Letterman is happy about the Jew-hating Socialist killing the Holocaust Museum guard. Takes the heat of the headlines off of him.

[Choose Ye This Day]

I just wrote this to SeeBS:

Statutory rape is not funny. Ever. David Letterman hasn’t been funny in years; now, apparently, he’s a bitter old man who enjoys making sexist jokes at the expense of teenagers.

I’m watching Conan from now on.

[Choose Ye This Day]

If true, I may have to start staying at Embassy Suites for a change.

[NonValueAdded]

Naturally NOW is absent - they lost any moral authority they may have once had when they let the Clintons roll all over Bill's conquests. But more importantly, Sarah is everything that the NAGs are not. Sarah's very existence repudiates the entire NOW agenda. She is a great role model for young women everywhere in these United States. God Bless her and her daughters.

[boojumone]

It might be wise to keep Willow away from David Letterman, for his sake as well. I’m betting she could probably beat the crap out of that creep.

[Liberty Valance]

Great news! Thanks for posting their response.

[Yorlik803]

Ouch...that last line is going to leave a mark.
If he said something about my niece like that. I would have beaten him til my arms got tired.

[GOPJ]

Letterman has all the confidence of a WWII German comic making jokes about the rape of a Jewish child.

[GOPJ]

Letterman is emblematic of an aging, baby-boomer culture, that dresses up street vulgarity with a tie and coat.

Take away the "tie and coat" and he's a dirty old man - leching after a 14 year old.

Come to think of it - even the "coat and tie" don't clean up his filth.

[Yorlik803]

I dont know what passes for humor these days. Remember comics like Rickels, Newhart and Cosby? They were funny without being all that vulgar. These days comics rely on the “F”word too much. I am not above dropping the F Bomb, but to do it like they do is not really funny or imaginative. Swear word are a crutch that people who aint funny use to make themselves funny.Like a child who discovers the word for the first time and uses it every chance they get.

[libs_kma]

I'm 20 years out of the Army, but only a few pounds over fighting weight.

I'd love to meet with Letterman for just 10 minutes to teach him the manners that his Mom neglected...

[Deb]

Wow. Nice job.
