The entire writing staff of the David Letterman show has quit over a Top Ten list that Letterman has written himself and plans to read on his CBS-TV show tomorrow night. "Forget about the fact that he's micromanaging the show and trying to do our job. It's his prerogative to oversee the operation," said an unnamed writer. "But the list just isn't funny."

ST. LOUIS -- Conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh today was booted from a group seeking to buy the St. Louis Rams because fabricated Wikiquotes now constitute rock solid evidence on which the MSM can base race card smear campaigns. Limbaugh, meanwhile, said on his radio show that he'll take his $450 billion personal war chest -- earned exclusively by the increasingly anachronistic expression "sweat of his own brow" -- and launch a bid for the Republican presidential nomination against Democrat pResident Barack Obama in 2012. "Folks, I don't even know if he plans to run for a second...

This ought to get the folks at the left-wing noise machine all wound up. Fox News host Glenn Beck on his Oct. 14 show, after being a regular recipient of MSNBC host Keith Olbermann's "Worst Persons in the World" on his "Countdown" program, decided to have a little fun by mocking Olbermann and his MSNBC colleague Chris Matthews. Beck mocked Olbermann's "Shakespearean" performance he puts on nightly on his "Countdown" program and also mocked Chris Matthews for his February 2008 "Obama gave me a thrill up my leg" comments. ...more (w/video)...

Rallying to the defence of director Roman Polanski after his arrest in Switzerland, French Culture Minister Frederic Mitterrand declared the situation "horrifying," and suggested that if the cultural world didn't come to the rapist's defence, "it would mean there is no culture in our country." He may have a case -- if you consider drugging and sodomizing a 13-year-old a manifestation of advanced "culture." Sadly, however, Mr. Mitterrand is hardly the only public figure willing to shrug off sexual crimes and indiscretions. Mr. Mitterrand's own background is illustrative. In a 2005 book he described as "half real and half dream,"...

In light of the recent and base actions of David Letterman – which few are condemning in the liberal media – Mr. Letterman once again mocked Sarah Palin and made her the butt of his humor and sarcasm. I think it’s “funny” that Letterman has shown absolutely no remorse nor a hint of shame in the recent exposure of his adulterous scandal. The only remorse from Letterman has been that he was exposed and caught as an adulterer. It is just regarded as a joke and something to laugh at. In the godless, delusional Bizarro world of reprobate Hollywood, he...

HOW much have opinions on Madison Avenue changed about “Late Show With David Letterman” since Mr. Letterman’s startling disclosures about his personal life? Well, one of the commercials that ran during the show on Tuesday night was from the Disney parks and resorts division of the Walt Disney Company. If so squeaky clean a marketer seemingly has no qualms about wishing upon a star like Mr. Letterman after last week’s events, it is unlikely other advertisers would — barring, agency executives and media experts say, any disturbing or scandalous additional disclosures. So long as viewers stick with Mr. Letterman, they...

Long before Stephanie Birkitt was revealed as David Letterman's squeeze, the funnyman was known to surround himself with beautiful young staffers who ministered to his daily needs -- and favored women when it came to promotions. Holly Hester, who interned for Letterman in the early '90s while she was a student at NYU, said yesterday the two had a steamy, secret affair for a year. She said Letterman called her one day and asked her to the movies, and they soon began seeing each other on the sly. "I was madly in love with him at the time," Hester told...

FACEBOOK Sarah Palin must be smiling, and not just because her new book is already #1 on the bestseller list, before it's even been released. The ex-Alaska governnor's erstwhile nemesis, David Letterman, just confessed that he's been the Horndog King of Late Night all these years, telling his audience he is the victim of an extrotion plot and admitting, "I have had sex with women who worked for me on this show

Wow. I don't know where to begin with David Letterman's bizarro, play-it-for-laughs on-air admission that he had sex with staff members. On the one hand, good for him for telling a fairly unvarnished account of being blackmailed by a Connecticut man for $2 million and admitting to the "creepy things," as Dave kept putting it, the blackmailer was threatening to take public. On the other hand: Couldn't somebody have gone out between the first and second act and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Letterman is about to talk about something very difficult and though you might be tempted to laugh,...

David Letterman, who built his career skewering philandering politicians and show business “weasels” and “boneheads,” finds himself in the middle of his own celebrity scandal, after he admitted having multiple affairs with employees of his production company, Worldwide Pants. For the intensely private Mr. Letterman, the revelations, which resulted from a bizarre extortion attempt, are sure to be extremely embarrassing, especially as he tries to extend his lead in the late-night contest. ”I have had sex with women who work for me on this show,” he told his audience on Thursday night, calling himself “creepy.” He added that he hoped...

<p>At the center of David Letterman's extortion scandal is Stephanie Birkitt, an assistant who appeared on the show and who apparently had sex with Dave. But as information about her leaks out, pundits are already asking whether we should care.</p>

I love Rush..I do. But if my memory serves me correctly, he came forward about his vicodin addiction ONLY when he found himself being blackmailed...am I correct? I love Rush..I dislike hypocrites. Tell me where I'm wrong.

Just wonderin'.... He was on Letterman's show very recently....

A CBS News employee is accused of trying to extort $2 million from David Letterman, forcing the late-night host to admit in an extraordinary monologue before millions of viewers that he had sexual relationships with female employees.

My syndicated column today fixes the spotlight on David “The Perv” Letterman’s contempt for women. Yesterday morning, I noted the silence of the feminists. Last night, NOW finally spoke up — but not without taking a holier-than-thou potshot of its own. I suggest they all review the Four Stages of Conservative Female Abuse before wagging their tired old fingers again and lecturing us “inauthentic” women about not doing enough to combat sexism.

David Letterman wasn't joking on the air during Thursday night's show. And his shocking revelation that he's had sex with female staff members threatens to change the late-night TV landscape. For starters, most viewers won't look at Letterman, who's 62, the same anymore. Sure, he's a sharp and witty guy; that's always been obvious. But having sex with younger female staff members, when he's their boss? And don't forget: He's often on the air boasting of his love for his wife and son. Ouch. Letterman's revelation came out because he was the target of an extortion attempt. In the end,...

David Letterman is not just wearing his political views on his sleeve, as a one of his shows production executives recently pointed out. Now he's allowing his show to be used as a platform for leading Democrats to advocate action on liberal causes. On Sept. 21, President Barack Obama appeared on CBS's "Late Show with David Letterman" and used his show to promote his health care/health insurance reform initiatives. But the very next night on Sept. 22, he had former President Bill Clinton on to publicize the efforts of the Clinton Global Initiative, one of which is to give aid...

In case you hadn't gotten enough of Barack Obama plugging ObamaCare on any of the five Sunday talk shows yesterday, your eyes can continue to glaze over tonight when the President appears on David Letterman tonight to continue his seemingly endless shill routine. And in case you think Letterman somehow bowed to White House pressure to allow Obama on to continue talking about a subject that many are already growing weary about, think again. This was actually Dave's idea according a story in the New York Times: Mr. Obama, of course, famously was the first sitting president to visit any...

So, here’s what The Perv of Late Night CBS Comedy said last night: “You know about the Taliban? Over here, we call them ‘healthcare protesters.’”

What constitutes "hateful speech?" It depends on the views of the individual, or in this case the advocacy group propagating the claim. Earlier this week, Plymouth, Wisc.-based Sargento Food, Inc., along with several other companies, pulled their advertising from the Fox News Channel's "Glenn Beck" program at the behest of a campaign by Color of Change, an advocacy group. ...more...

Number 7: "Todd, I've always wanted to know -- what is it you do exactly?"

David Letterman bid Sarah Palin farewell in his monologue on Tuesday night by attacking her. Letterman joked that in the future, she hopes to be the next "octo-mom." Letterman also knocked Palin and claimed she waved goodbye to Russia before she left office.

Sarah Palin vs. Hitler's' children Protester outside the David Letterman Show: "If it would have been any other family (than Sarah Palin's), Letterman would have been taken off the air." Young sound man/reporter for Maxim Radio on Sirius Satellite: "What about if it was Hitler's children?"

David Letterman "jokes" about Sarah Palin's teenage daughter having sex with A-Rod during a baseball game. For good measure he suggests the daughter would be of interest to Eliot Spitzer, infamous for soliciting a prostitute. If Ed Schultz condemned Letterman, I missed it. But let Sarah Palin's acceptance of Letterman's belated apology include thanks to the US military for making freedom of speech possible for all Americans, and Schultz condems Palin as "nothing but political slime."

A diverse coalition of concerned citizens, whose website is www.FireDavidLetterman.com, today announced a Fire David Letterman Rally on Tuesday, June 16, from 4:30 pm to 7:30 pm on the sidewalks outside the Ed Sullivan Theater, located at 1697 Broadway in New York City. CBS films the Late Show with David Letterman at the Ed Sullivan Theater. Tuesday’s show, hosted by Letterman, will be taped at 5:30 pm, and will feature guest Michelle Pfeiffer.

-snip- 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. -snip

Is Letterman that oblivious?

On Monday night's "Late Show" host David Letterman re-addressed his comments about Gov. Sarah Palin and her teenage daughter. Letterman made a more serious apology than his response last week. "I had, honestly, no idea that the 14-year-old girl, I had no idea that anybody was at the ball game except the governor, and I was told at the time she was there with Rudy Giuliani," Letterman said. The post has the full transcript and the video.

David Letterman apologized tonight for a slanderous sexually degrading joke he told last week about Alaska Governor Sarah Palin's 14-year-old daughter getting "knocked up" by New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez during the seventh inning of a game attended by the governor and her daughter, yet he failed to apologize for a joke the following night in which he insinuated the 14-year-old girl was a prostitute--indicting himself in the process.The relevant portion of Letterman's apology: But there was a joke that I told, and I thought I was telling it about the older daughter being at Yankee Stadium. And it...

David Letterman insists they're just jokes. But his attacks on Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin are much more than that. Indeed, the late-night comedian managed to anger all sides with his nasty mocking of the Palin family -- particularly his snotty wisecrack that while Palin was visiting New York, her daughter (age 14) was "knocked up" by a Yankees player: Both the conservative Concerned Women for America and the liberal National Organization of Women denounced the remark. Letterman's attempt at humor revealed a sorrowful remnant of the cavalier manner in which society used to regard young women. But something even bigger...

CBS has an ugly face. But I’m not speaking of physical appearances; rather, I’m speaking of ideological appearances—the appearances that put racism and sexism on full display for Americans. Just as it did with Don Imus, and just as it did with David Letterman. If we are to take the case of David Letterman and Don Imus, we can easily see the clear distinction between the two cases. Don Imus—a radio “shock jock” for over thirty years was summarily discharged after his comments regarding the Rutgers Women’s basketball team.

We all know that David Letterman stepped in it this week. Besides being an unfunny has been his jokes about the Palin family have lit up the dextrosphere and as near as I can tell people are still angry as hell about them. That's good because it gives the conservative right a chance to steal from the Obama playbook and go Alinsky on Letterman. This seems perfect for a little Rule 1, 3, and 12 combined action: Cynthia Yockey - A newly conservative lesbian - has some suggestions: 1. Be tenacious The campaign must last at least 30 days anything...

NEW YORK – Sarah Palin would no doubt be horrified by the idea, but there's a chance she could become the same boon to David Letterman's career that Hugh Grant was to Jay Leno's. The story had the effect of turning the attention to Letterman at a critical time, during the second week of his new competition with Leno's replacement, Conan O'Brien. Palin may have inadvertently given Letterman a platform at a time when it is most valuable; the next few weeks will show how he's been able to use it.

Never mind that he clearly joked about the statutory rape of Gov. Palin's 14 year old daughter (she attended the baseball game with the governor), several outlets in the Obama Lapdog Media are making the perpetrator, David Letterman, out to be the victim. The New York Daily News: "Sarah Palin attacks David Letterman over 'sexually-perverted' joke." Sarah Palin lambasted late-night comedian David Letterman Wednesday for "sexually perverted comments" about one of her teenage daughters - and rebuffed his moves to make nice. Like hell he tried to make nice. The Silcon Valley Mercury News "Sarah Palin continues attacks on poor...

Local jeweler/businessman DARES to strike a blow against David "the perv" Letterman. Check out how the snarling hoards dive in on the comments section. They're threatening to drive him out of bizness....http://www.russellkormanjewelry.com/events.html

The week-long scuffle between Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and late-night comedian David Letterman has given many on the political right something they've lacked in recent months — a tasty target. By cracking wise with references to Palin's "slutty flight attendant look" and her imaginary need to keep her daughter away from Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez, the "Late Show" host set off a significant political tempest. Experts and observers of politics and the media see two larger expediencies present: the funnyman's need to break through the late-night giggle chamber, particularly with Conan O'Brien's new gig on "The Tonight Show," and conservatives'...

NRO Corner: A Letterman apologist named Jason Zengerle at the TNR blog claims logic is not my strong suit since I defended Sarah Palin's family and thought Letterman's apology was, well, like most of what he does these days, infantile and cowardly: I know logic isn't VDH's strong suit, but is it really so hard to believe that the joke Letterman was making about a Palin daughter getting "knocked up" was about the Palin daughter who, you know, got knocked up? Is that supposed to be funny in a Lettermanesque way? Zengerle apparently cannot follow basic logic, so here...

Here at Elective Decisions we ask the tough, hard-hitting questions. So, we’re asking Americans today to tell us what David Letterman is. We believe that the American people will answer, considering the recent attack on Sarah Palin and her daughter. Now, it’s up to you America. So vote with passion!

I never much cared for that David Letterman fellow, and not just because his show is on way past my bedtime. But I think he’s finally lost it! The other night he made some weird joke about Sarah Palin’s 14-year-old daughter getting raped by a baseball player at a charity event. I didn’t really get it – young people today have a funny sense of humor, I guess. After some normal folks complained, Letterman said he was sorry, but not really. You could tell he didn’t think he’d done anything wrong. I’m surprised Todd Palin didn’t drive his snowmobile down...

Will you teach your son to talk about women and girls the way you talk about Sarah Palin and her daughters? You called the married 45-year-old mother, grandmother and Alaska governor a "slutty flight attendant" on your national TV talk show because she happens to be a tall, beautiful and dynamic public figure who doesn't look, walk or talk the way you think she should. You joked on national television about Palin's teenage daughter "getting knocked up" by professional baseball player Alex Rodriguez or solicited by the prostitute-addicted former New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer because it's acceptable in your...

Would you leave your 14-year old daughter alone with David Letterman? Sarah Palin’s not so sure. On this morning’s Today, after displaying the Palin statement shown in the screencap: “it would be wise to keep Willow away from David Letterman,” Matt Lauer had this question for the Alaska guv. MATT LAUER: Are you suggesting that David Letterman can’t be trusted around a 14-year old girl? SARAH PALIN: Hey, take it however you want to take it. View video here.

Conversation was thick at the Cigar Inn today. Mostly over lunatic James W. von Brunnm who walked into Washington, D.C.’s Holocaust museum and murdered guard Stephen T. Johns, who had the bad luck to be on duty. von Brunn was shot, but unfortunately he is still alive. Word is that he is in critical condition, so there is still a chance for justice to take place. Irv Levine (we call him Lefty because he always grips his butts with his left thumb and pinkie) was holding forth, as usual, but with special passion today, as you might imagine. He raised...

It takes courage to attack teenage girls at baseball game with their mommy. Now Dave says he meant the jokes for the older daughter. Well, she wasn’t at the game. So why can’t Dave just throw his hands up and say he’s sorry, he screwed up and he didn’t realize the 14-year old was at the game? Because Dave isn’t man enough. He doesn’t want the heat to come off Palin’s family, because this is the only thing liberals can hurt Palin with. Fourteen out of fourteen ‘ethics’ investigations have failed to turn up anything on Palin. The best thing...

Smug, hip David Letterman offered a smirky non-apology about his ongoing class and sexist slurs against the Palins, his apparent social inferiors. "We were, as we often do, making jokes about people in the news and we made some jokes about Sarah Palin and her daughter, the 18-year-old girl, who is — her name is Bristol, that's right, and so, then, now they're upset with me . . .""These are not jokes made about her 14-year-old daughter. I would never, never make jokes about raping or having sex of any description with a 14-year-old girl. I mean, look at...
