Top Ten Reasons To Tune Out David Letterman

As some of you might have noticed, I have taken a bit of a break from the blogosphere.

It took the creep David Letterman and his pathetic fans to get me back to my blog. You are all probably aware of Letterman's disgusting joke about Sarah Palin's 14 year old daughter getting "knocked up" by Alex Rodriguez during the 7th inning stretch at Yankee stadium. Letterman defends himself by saying he was not actually talking about the Palin's 14 year old daughter, but her 18 year old daughter. Big difference. First, it was the 14 year old daughter who was actually at the game, so Letterman is not only a sexist pig, but an idiot to boot. Second, the 4 year old age difference between the two daughters is neither here nor there. A joke about young girls getting "knocked up" by adult baseball players is not funny.

What I found even more upsetting about the incident was not only David Letterman's pathetic seven minute apology but the mocking, sneering, sexist laughter of his studio audience. Listen to it yourself. Not only were all the jokes repeated, to the great amusement of the audience, but Letterman continued his mocking of the Palin family, to the mob's apparent delight.

Now I am going to make a bit of a leap. I bet that not many of that hooting crowd would see themselves as "conservatives", or were supporters of Sarah Palin. No - they're too good for that. Sexist, vulgar and ignorant wisecracks are fine - fun and games - as long as they are directed at the "right" targets for these enlightened folks.

The whole thing made me sick. I didn't crack a smile.

The top ten reasons for tuning out David Letterman are all the same. David Letterman and his obnoxious followers.
