Embassy Suites, part of the Hilton Hotels Corp., pulled advertising on CBS' site because of complaints, company spokeswoman Kendra Walker told TVGuide.com. The company was not an advertiser on Letterman's show.
"We received lots of e-mails from concerned guests and we assessed that the statement that he made was offensive enough to our guests and prospective guests that we elected to take the ads down," Walker said. She declined to release the cost of the ads.
CBS declined to comment Tuesday.

hey.. HE put his wife and kid out there after all, so they're fair game.. If he doesn't want ugly wife jokes he should keep her out of the spotlight.
(just giving back to the Left what they dish out to the Palin family).

I would have asked her if she had been getting many calls in support of David Letterman.

Looks like I will be calling my insurance agent of many years to have him make sure I have no Met Life products and to make a note in my file that there are never to be any.

That must be why the POS Letterman made another apology today, one a lot closer to being a real apology than his last one. In spite of what other leftards are saying, this is having an effect on the jerk and CBS.

I called the Late Show this evening and congratulated them on losing an advertiser. “We’ve only just begun.”

"Letterman's wife, no statement needed" Sorry, I can't agree...but then, I haven't met the woman, which I guess is my point. You may be right, I just have no evidence due to my lack of both interest and, by choice, TV.

Thanks. I already got that. I’m waiting to hear that they’ve cancelled their support for Letterman.

Poor thing, to be married to that hideous old pervert geezer.
She may have been pretty at one time—before she met David Letterman.
