New York Lawmaker Calls on CBS to Fire Letterman for Palin Comments
FOX News ^ | June 12, 2009 | FOX News

New York State Assembly Minority Leader Brian Kolb, a Republican, is calling on the CEO of CBS to fire David Letterman for crude comments he made about Sarah Palin and her daughter.

In the letter to CBS chief Les Moonves, Kolb said he took Letterman to task for the "shockingly inappropriate" jokes.

“As the proud father of a daughter, and as a husband, I wanted Mr. Moonves to hear from me directly about Mr. Letterman’s disparaging remarks," Kolb said in a written statement.

“Firing Mr. Letterman would send a clear message that CBS will not tolerate any of its employees — even an established media figure like Mr. Letterman — making demeaning and degrading comments about women.”

If Letterman were a PUB - or even a RINO - or even a non-LIB RAT, he’d be gone by now, buried under an avalanche of calls for his resignation. (See Imus, Don)

Some “joke” writer came up with it in the first place. It went through executive layers before final approval by Letterman himself.

Letterman is one of at least several crude a$$holes at SeeBS.

Absolute nonsense...
While I think that Letterman is surely a jerk,no make that an asswipe..This is America even though we have a President trying to change that.We do not need Republicans trying to help him accomplish that destruction..Letterman has the right to be as stupid and ignorant as he wants to be. If a majority of AMERICANS realize that he would be off the air for the right reasons..If not then we have bigger problems then Letterman....

Good news.

When Letterman gets old and is hanging out in city parks, wearing nothing but a trenchcoat, and flashing kids that walk by, will he remember these days. Oh wait... he’s already there. Bada bing

Get your point, but disagree.
Actions have consequences. I applaud everyone taking a strong position against Letterman and his pedophile remarks.

That “high road” attitude is what is burying us.

We need to fight back, and if taking a stand against child rape jokes is “whining”, then I am the greatest whiner of all. And proud of it.

Republicans should PROMISE to take the licenses of NBC,Cbs.

They no longer serve all Americans.

Republicans have nothing to lose anymore with those two.

Verbal child pornography (fantasizing on stage about the rape of minors is just that) is NOT free speech!

You know, in the day of olden, these remarks would have ended in a duel to reclaim honor.

In days of old, the big brothers would have made sure that Letterman ended up in the river with his neck broken.

Don’t think we want to go there. As repulsive as people can be we still have protection and freedom of speech in this country.
