I think it’s probably a good idea for a comedian to retire before he becomes a bitter old creep. So is Letterman what Carson would have become if he kept doing the Tonight Show? I doubt it, but maybe Letterman was always bitter and eventually the oldness made it more prominent. About the only funny thing Letterman could do on stage now is break his hip.
Jim Treacher tries to explain the controversy for pea-brained people who can’t understand it. You can’t actually teach decency, though, but you can shun.
Letterman is a third rate Johnny Carson wanna be who is really nothing more than a verbal bully, if SP was to go on his show she should slap his face so hard that his perpetual smirk would end up out in the fifth row of his audience.
I quit watching most late nite stuff over a decade ago. Letterman rapidly became “Look I’m funny !! Watch me.” And his clearly pre=planned episodes with Drew Barrymore, Courtney Love and other members of the high IQ society put the nail in his coffin. From the nature of the jokes ol’ Dave must have a pretty big thing foe Sara and her children.
Is it really fair to call Letterman a comedian. I mean don’t you have to be funny to be a comedian?
How would the MSM react if the so called “JOKE”
had been about either one of Obama’s daughter’s?
It was my understanding that the display of a hang-mans’ nooses was racist now…
my spell check still thinks “Obama” is misspelled….anyone else had this problem?
Letterman is becoming a low-rent version of H.L. Mencken. Mencken started great and became an angry old hack whom nobody wanted to read.
It’s not that it thinks it’s misspelled…..it’s just RACIST!
and remember, if you don’t like David Letterman, since he’s an Obama worshiper,
YOU are RACIST!
Hey….isn’t Aroid or w/e his name is …..”hispanic”? Now THERE is something the msm should
be pissed about, Letterman stereotyped someone of a made up race as a rapist!!!!
HE’S a RACIST TOO!
Letterman is about as funny as Obama’s ecomomic plan…..
I think Letterman needs to remove his head from Obama’s rear, is stupid, and not funny at all…….I must be a racist.
My spell check is working fine, i put in classless disgrace with shite for brains and it comes back with that guy in the White House and david lesserman.
Whats wrong with being a racist? I drive fast all the time! ????
> So is Letterman what Carson would have become if he had kept doing the Tonight Show?
No. Carson retired from the Tonight Show at age 66, and was at the top of his game. Letterman is 62, and is well past his prime.
Hey, I read this in the news. Did any of you see this?
First Lady Michelle Obama, and her daughters Malia and Sasha were in England a few days ago and for Sasha’s Birthday, they got a tour of the set of the new Harry Potter film, did you hear about this Paul?
No, I didn’t.
Well it turned out that Sasha got a special birthday gift from Daniel Radcliffe. She was allowed to do a nude sex scene with him.
Hee…. Hee… Hee..
Can’t wait for that movie to come out. Harry Potter Bonking the American President’s Eight Year old Daughter.
Hee… Hee.. Hee..

Think that’s funny?
Conservatives don’t. And that’s the difference. That is why liberalism isn’t merely wrong but is indeed evil.
The last time Letterman was even remotely funny was back in the 80’s when he filled-in for Carson a few times. And by “remotely funny” I mean a couple of “HA HA’s” (as in two).
Letterman used to do a segment called “Stupid Pet Tricks”, since Obama’s election he just does the tricks himself.
Wouldn’t it be hilarious if in the middle of taping his show some big guy came out, bent Letterman over the desk and raped him?
I’m still not sure why that’s funny, but I have it on good authority from liberals that this type of humor is absolutely hilarious, and even more so when the subject is a child.
Given his Leftard misogyny, I’m surprised Letterman didn’t include the ” They all look alike to me.” excuse, for his Palin-hate. Maybe Sarah Palin should invite David Letterman to an aerial culling of the wolf population. “No David, you can be the ground spotter, just remain still while Todd gets the Big Bad Wolf in His crosshairs”. Or perhaps Sarah and Dick Cheney can invite Letterman to a quail hunt, ptarmigan hunt if held in Alaska.
Carson had the gift of not taking himself seriously. Hard to be the obamessiah or an obamessiah worshipper and share that gift.
I’d like to see Sarah Palin give Letterman a hard kick to the balls, then Todd can kick him while he’s rolling around on the ground in pain. Let the kids hit him with baseball bats too.
I guess I’m amenable to the idea Letterman has gotten more bitter, but I remember watching him in the 90s and not getting, back then, why anybody thought he was funny. I’ve heard a rumor he was funny circa 1985, but it’s only hearsay.
I don’t know whether it’s become more noticeable (since I never watch him), but I do remember him in the late 90s sandbagging a couple conservative guests on the show (the rare occasions when I did watch him). That’s something Leno never did even though I know he’s a Democrat.
