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.

This statement is going to get that FAR more bang for their buck than advertising on CBS’ website.

Good move ..., and I’ll try and remember to stay at an Embassy Suite in the future.

Lexus notified and they responded within 2 hours. Basically informed Lexus they were way too reputable to be associated with the bullying of Letterman.

I’m not trying to stir things up here, but be aware that Michael Patrick Leahy and his group are pushing for a constitutional convention, and DO NOT speak for the entire Tea Party movement.

Good job Hilton Hotels. Anyone have a list of Letterman sponsors?

Letterman is a slime.
