Letterman asked Dowd to explain the whole VALERIE PLAME investigation. She said, you only have to know two words: CHENEY'S GUILTY.
HOW DARE SHE...of course, Letterman clapped and everyone clapped.
Finally...the desired response.
Thank you.
completely disregarding his politics, that old man just isn't funny
never was, and never will be
he just isn't a comedian, i don't understand how people can put up with his show (and this is not about politics, this is about humor!)
I did catch that Craig Ferguson guy one night when I was at my parents house. He seems pretty funny and not very political.
I think a lot of celebrities think talking about politics makes them seem smart and cultured and not so frivolous. I guess they haven't picked up on the backlash yet.
Letterman ran out of funny material back in the eighties. Or maybe I just found him funny cause I was 10.
I was disgusted by the announcement of Clinton as a guest and I intentionally didn't watch that episode. But I still tried to give Dave the benefit of the doubt at that point, but it wasn't much later that he lost me as a regular viewer. And last fall was the last straw.
Good goint. He does seem like he's phoning it in. Detached, too. Almost like he's agreed to stay on to help showcase the lefties who have been his recent guests.
Oh, CSI is good. It would be hard for me to miss it.
The one good thing Letterman did was to hire Craig Ferguson for the late show after Letterman's. He opens nearly every show with, "It's a great day in America today!" I don't really know his politics, but he is definitely grateful to be in the US...has started the process to become a citizen. He does spoof George Bush...but not like the others. He reminds me somewhat of Johnny Carson. He is NICE to his guests and sometimes even has people like research professors, and regular people as his guests.
I saw a short bit of it. How about those flabby arms? Hey, nothing against flabby arms, but most people have enough sense to cover them.
I used to like Letterman back when he told good Bill & Hill jokes. I can't watch him anymore. Besides, why watch him when you can see Leno.
My husband TIVO's it so he could see Charlize Theron. When I saw she was going to be on, I almost vomited. Letterman did say something funny though. He said that if he wrote a book called "ARE WOMEN NECESSARY" he said something to the effect of he'd be beaten to a pulp." Then he returned to his usual idiotic self. When I think I used to have Letterman parties when I was in College it makes me laugh. He was so innovative back then...the problem is that humor doesn't work when you're in your 60's. Throwing large objects off rooves of buildings (as he did again last night) is so old....it's almost sad.
Now understand letterman and leno all go over what they are going to talk about once they are on camera. What stories and the lead ins. Please remember this is entertainment not a court of law. Dowd is a Idiot and letterman a court jester. In a couple years it will be dowd who>?
This just in:
In New York at a crowded busy bus stop Maureen Dowd was spotted wearing a tight mini skirt. As her bus to the Letterman show stopped and it was her turn to get on, she became aware that her skirt was too tight to allow her leg to come up to the height of the first step of the bus.
Slightly embarrassed and with a quick smile to the bus driver, Mo reached behind her to unzip her skirt a little, thinking that this would give her enough slack to raise her leg. Again, she tried to make the step only to discover she still couldn’t. So, a little more embarrassed, she once again reached behind her to unzip her skirt a little more, and for the second time attempted the step. Still, much to her chagrin, she could not raise her leg. With a little smile at the driver, she again reached behind to unzip a little more and again was unable to make the step.
About this time, Dick Cheney who was standing behind her in line picked her up easily by the waist and placed her gently on the step of the bus. She went ballistic, turned to the VP, and yelled, “How dare you touch my body! I don’t even know who you are!”
Vice President Cheney smiled and drawled, “Well, ma’am, normally I would agree with you, but after you unzipped my fly three times, I kinda figured we was friends.”
The 'Good Morning America' show put me completely off my oats this AM: fashion designer Kenneth Cole, W. Goldberg,
and many of the other usual suspects nattering on about how "We All Have AIDs" et cetera . . it was a real `ralph-o-rama'.
(See revised tag-line)
Of course I know that, that's what it makes that much worse. Letterman, Dowd and the whole staff came up with that one. He set her up for those two words.
Kenneth Cole has AIDS?
(Might want to revise your revision of your tagline as 'Good Morning America' is ABC.)
By then TV is off and I'm listening to radio and prepping for sleep.
"When Johnny Carson walked off the set he took funny late night television with him."
AMEN!
