Letterman Unplugged!
Consider buying my book The BIG Black Lie, an Amazon Best Seller. The book is a MUST for your conservative education, and guaranteed for at least ten (10) belly laughs!
How lucky for Letterman that he is not taken too seriously. Imagine revealing publicly that you are a slimeball, as people laugh along like a laughtrack? Thankfully his wife didn’t have to endure “the good wife” photo op, as Letterman joked of disgracing her and his family. That may be her only solace in all of this.
Letterman quipped on his show that the revelation of all whom he slept with would be embarrassing— “especially for the women!” Perhaps no truer words have been spoken!
Far be it from me to moralize about people. People make mistakes. But I must tell you that I was happy to hear that Letterman is in the “hot seat.” And it’s just beginning. Nevertheless, I know that Hollyweird will come to his aid. “He has to work long nights with staffers,” or “Things just work differently in Hollywood…the pressures.” We will get to witness the lunacy of the Left first-hand!
We may never know exactly whom Letterman slept with. But in the wake of the Polanski story, and frankly just knowing how Liberals are, it wouldn’t surprise me if Letterman slept with anybody and everybody. Just don’t hang around the set after dark!
Why should we have thought that Letterman is not just another self-indulgent, Hollywood hypocrite? Is it because he’s funny? Lord knows that without fame and fortune many of Letterman’s conquests would never have “indulged” with him. Letterman benefitted from The Billy Joel Effect! Because in the real world, guys with no talent who look like Billy Joel don’t get chicks who look like Christie Brinkley!
Ironically, by not naming names, Letterman makes a suspect of every man, woman, [and child] on his staff. And you thought Lewinski carries a lifelong scar! The potential stigma of sleeping with Letterman is a very heavy cross to bear!
Letterman said that he is doing this “to protect all the people involved.” Really?! I think he’s doing it to protect himself. Something tells me that without the extortion attempt, we might never have heard about Letterman’s shenanigans. Honestly, I could have done without this scandal. The visual alone make me almost lose my lunch.
Letterman would like this to just go away…to laugh it off. However it just won’t happen. Aside from the obvious sexual harassment implications, I predict that Letterman will be the product of many lawsuits— even from those he did not have “sexual relations” with. I know if I worked at CBS I’d sue him for mental anguish.
Before you get all uppity about that statement, consider that if I worked at CBS I would be a Liberal, or at best a “closet Conservative,” thus tainted…and litigious. I’d see this as the perfect opportunity to cash out at the expense of Letterman, CBS, and of course the taxpayer. Think about all the mental anguish I would have suffered knowing about the affairs, and wondering when, when would Letter approach me for my well-muscled booty? Or wondering if he will fire me, because I know, and he will want to cut off the heads of people who could potentially hurt him?
Or perhaps I would feel discriminated against that Letterman had not made advances at me! I might be outraged that he chose Mario, the Puerto Rican copywriter instead of me! Mario is only third generation American, and he ain’t “all that!” My family has been here since the 1800’s, and fries do go with my shake!
And what about Angie! I know he “did” her on another set, and she’s a first class witch. Why are all those around me getting all the nice gifts, trips, and so on, and I’m being treated like a skunk at the picnic?
Next, I could just lie and say that Letterman had approached me, many times, but I refused his sexual advances. It was TORTURE, and I couldn’t be effective at my job. So what he never fired me. I was a good tease.
Anyway, the inevitable outcome would be that I could have my complete employee file revised. All those missed days…GONE! Coming in late…GONE! Bad attitude…never happened! And of course I would negotiate for a much better job…one for which I was completely unqualified.
Or I could lie and say that Letterman and I had an illicit affair for many years, which was how I stuck around. I could write a book, and Oprah would put it on her book club, and make me rich. When it was revealed that Letterman was not a booty-bandit and my affair with him never happened, Oprah could have me back on the show. She would make me admit my wrongs, and I would “fess up.” I would cry a lot, and promise never to do it again. But I’d be rich!
Finally, I would go on disability, so the taxpayers could take care of me for the rest of my life.
Here’s the wrap:
I can’t say that I feel sorry for Letterman. I think of the damage people like him do, all for the sake of a laugh, like what he said about Sarah Palin. I hope he is made to squirm for some time. Nevertheless, I predict that Letterman’s professional life won’t change much, and in fact he will likely become even more iconic in the eyes of the Left.
I do hope that the woman he dated for years, had a child with, and eventually married gets hers. It seems that the only way to hurt Hollyweird is in the pocketbook. I suggest she keep away from the cameras and let Letterman do the “perp walk” all by himself.
That’s my rant!

Yet, those in SF are defending this while claiming anyone that say anything are christian loonies that are prejudice because of insane believe of the old man in the sky. How about just plain ethics? Oh wait, liberals have no ethics nor or they expected to have any thus will give this pervert, like that ugly director, a free pass. It’s a demonstration why we’ve fallen so far as a nation because we give free passes to those having no ethics because they claim having none in the first place. FA, love the list. Be sure to get royalties when Letterman uses it.

One Palin-bashing hater of hot chicks down, one Palin-bashing hater of hot chicks to go. And since he just let his Italian bosses in Chicago down by losing the Olympics account, we might not have to wait long for THAT list of lovers to come out of the ladies’ room. Or maybe the mens’ room. Or the barn. Or the cemetery. Or the petting zoo. Or whatever the Italians decide to put on the list. HAHAHAHAHA Welcome to Chicago politics, you picket-fence toothed goon. You play with the big boys you better win every time. Cause they don’t like losers or failures. Maybe him and Letterman ought to run off together and leave their ass-ugly wives behind to coach girls’ softball teams and plan Sierra Club outings.

I love it when there are clear, simple examples of the lamestream media’s double standard.
First the Iranian guy calling our Couric on why the media exploited one girl’s death as martyrdom, while ignoring another. (It is absurdly self-serving the way they pick and choose reporting topics)
(see: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ynews/20091001/wl_ynews/ynews_wl936_4)
Now, after a couple of republican politicians are caught having affairs and are subsequently crucified by the LSM, we have Letterman caught doing the same thing…although I would argue that his ’sins’ fall somewhere between having a long-term loving relationship with some chick in south america and having fag sex with a boy that works for you. (That is assuming all of his ‘conquests’ were women)
I really hope my good, fellow Americans open their eyes to this rediculous hypocracy.
When my daughter asked me “whatcha watchin?” when Good morning America happend to be on (not by choice, just the channel what was on when the TV turned on), I told her, “It’s a sitcom/drama honey. And not a very good one at that. None of it is real.”
Sad.

My hubby and I have been married for 30 years, since we were teenagers, and I just don’t understand why people are so blasé about the sanctity of marriage. I don’t care to know all his dirty little secrets blurted out in front of live audience. Sickening!

Tammy –
“My hubby and I have been married for 30 years, since we were teenagers, and I just don’t understand why people are so blasé about the sanctity of marriage.”
Tammy, don’t be confused. Pick up the source of that (very real) sanctification, the Holy Bible. It’s all laid out, why these times are like this. When it all seems like a Salvador Dali painting in a funhouse mirror being written about by Franz Kafka while he’s on a few too many mcg of LSD-25 while hanging upside down, it’s good to know that actually, things are going along just according to plan, that everything is as it should be.

I quit TV about 6 years ago. Don’t own one. If I want to watch shows that I’ve been told are actually good, or that I’ve read about that might interest me, I watch them online or rent or buy the seasons on DVD.
It’s not just the commercials – you get that online, but it’s the few-and-far-betweenness of actual quality shows, it’s the every-other-break hyping of what’s coming up on the local and national news, and the every-other-break hyping by the network of itself and it’s OTHER shows, it’s the incessant PSAs telling me how to make myself a more Moral Person by “going green” (I thought it was the Right that was supposedly “pushing” Morality “down our throats”), and its the CONSTANT stream of Pharmaceutical ads. And there are about 2 shows in the last 10 years that I’ve actually enjoyed for their lack of Sermonizing and Propagandizing and Hedonism, and their all-around good entertainment.
When you quit for 5 or so years, it’s stranger. Every so often, maybe once a month, I’ll be at someone’s house watching television with them. The constant barrage of utter FECES is impossible to avoid seeing, and the folks who watch it or have it on in the background every waking hour for their whole lives? They don’t even see it. None of it fazes them. Like fish who don’t really know just how wet that water is. You can tell them, specifically, the lies told on the evening news and they get ANGRY. Brian Williams KNOWS! Who are YOU? (I’m your friend. You believe this PUTZ but not your friend.) They don’t believe any bit of news that isn’t coming out of a television screen.

Great rant Kevin and FA, I loved your top ten list. We all knew Letterman was a dirty old man after what he said about Sarah Palin and her daughter’s. Now it’s official. And where are the women decrying his sexual harrassment? They must be racist, because they screamed bloody murder when black jurist Clarence Thomas was accused of sexual harrasment, even though there was no proof or blackmail. I wonder if Letterman’s ratings will improve now? And I’m waiting to hear Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter accuse the IOC of being racist. After all, to refuse three black people such as Michelle and Barack and Oprah its only logical to conclude racism is at play here!

October 2, 2009 at 7:05 pm
This is a problem on both the right and the left including Hollywood and average Joe. We had it w/ people like president Clinton and a senator from Nevada (R) John Ensign having affair with their aides. You may add to the list, the Gov of SC (R) and New York Gov Elliot (D) among many others. For the average Joe, try my neighbor. It is also unacceptable for David Letterman or Bill O’riely. However more embarassing to see it in people who preach morality.
This is sin against the Lord and sacredness of marriage.

I dont mean to shift the emphasis here, but i am a total born-again Bible reading Christian.

Which tells me He knew something more than just how to make wine out of water. He knew what was down the road for those two people.

David Letterman rose to fame doing really dumb stunts and being outrageous (the velcroed wall comes to mind).
This outrage is outrageous…by any decent person’s standards. Menwhile, he continues the tasteless Sara Palin jokes, as if he could hold a candle to her, moraly.
Yet, Letterman is just an ice crystal in the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the average Hollywood-Entertainment types.
And they will continue to get sponsors, movie-goers and followers until we begin to wake up to moral absolutes as a nation…which doesn’t look to be in the near future.

October 3, 2009 at 9:24 am
Just for clarification to the person who ’schooled’ me about the Holy Bible and the sanctity of marriage. I was actually referring to the Bible. I am a born-again Christian who reads God’s words and believes them without question. I guess that’s why I’ve been married to the same man for 30+ years even though we started out as mere teenagers trying to figure this thing out. We raised a wonderful, God-loving daughter who is now passing down her morals to her own children. I think the lack of morality these days is what drives most of this. I’ve actually heard young couples say before marriage, “well if it doesn’t work out we can always get a divorce”. How in the world is that any way to start a marriage? And I believe this is the main reason 2nd, 3rd, and 4th marriages have such issues too. I don’t believe God blesses those kinds of unions because in His eyes you’re still married to your first spouse, the one you swore before God and witnesses to maintain until death. I know there are concessions such as adultery and abuse, but like it or not we are married to a person for life once we make that commitment. People in Hollywood change spouses the way I change shirts, so it’s not a big deal to them to air their nasty laundry for all to read and hear. Same thing with the Roman Polanski case where people are coming out saying…oh he’s a good fellow. Just made a lil mistake drugging and raping a 13 yr old CHILD. Let’s give him a reprieve. I believe in forgiveness, but I also believe in if you do the crime, do the time.

Letterman lacks one key element that Leno has, it’s called CLASS!! What a pompous ass this man is! Any of the scumbag Hollywood types who come to his defense, or Polanski’s for that matter, will never get a rating or a dime of my money at the video store!!
He loathes Sarah Palin because she has too much class to associate with a piece of trash like Letterman. I will never watch his show or follow any of his ilk.

James, I’d gladly watch Kevin on TV again. But unfortunately, since he’d probably drive Letterman’s ratings up, I wouldn’t watch it. (btw, I’m not sure what it’s called, but there’s at least one video compilation on YouTube of all the times Letterman’s made fun of guys who did exactly what he did (or less). Incredible hypocrisy: his staff must have had to hold their vomit down.
Also, I second your thank you to Kevin. I agree that it’s pretty classy to write so many responses – and Kevin, you already responded to James, so please don’t respond to this! Just wanted to add on.

I don’t believe anything will happen to Letterman. I do hope, however, that his wife gets their child far away from him. Nice daddy role model.
Liberals always stick together because they have to. Most of them have done, or will do, something immoral and will need the support reciprocated. They stand united so they can justify (if only in their own small brains) their wrong doings.

He mus be slaughtered in his bed and in his children tossed into wood chippers to make dyes for our uniforms!!” or, 2: standing in line at the welfare office proclaiming that he is entitled to turn whitey into his own personal slave for what happened to his, or maybe that guy over there’s, grandparents from 300 years ago; or 3; walking the streets of white neighborhoods in broad daylight taking a silent inventory of everyone’s property for when the Invasion Crew decides it’s time to relieve this neighborhood of its jewelry and computers and maybe the lives of some of it’s residents. Isn’t the whole purpose of this site for one “colored” American citizen to inform white conservatives – all of whom are terrified of negroes – and to inform intimidated negroes who are too afraid to adopt Western Civilization like normal people because ten trillion lunatic commie members of their own slum-loving race are going to attack them from all sides like hyenas ganging-up on a lost lioness – isn’t the purpose of this site to give a platform to this one individual who has some fucking balls??

Marie-Jeanne,
I feel the same. I don’t even watch Letterman any more. Not since the Bush years. Dave used to be funny, and he still can be but he’s got to act the sniffling little lib and leave comedy by the way side. And yes, his ratings would go up were Kevin on his show and they debated but wouldn’t it be fun to see Kevin take on Dave? Dave is clever (I think. Maybe it’s because of his writers) but he is ill informed. No doubt he’s fallen for this global warming BS. He probably has no idea that Earth goes through cooling and heating cycles regularly and that the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is so minuscule it matters not. And ask him who started the KKK and he’d probably say George Bush. So it’d be fun to watch him go up against Kevin. Were that to actually happen (not a snowball’s chance in hell though) all I could say about Dave is, to coin a phrase from Mr. T, I pity the fool.

I was just reading some furious invective about sarah palin’s book. holy crap, the gates of hell fly open when she walks by, with demons in her face, almost as much as when Jesus walked by. This must be some book, every warrior in Hells Army is in a spitting wrath about it. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA I love it.

Kevin, I’m going to come to Proudhon’s defense here. Like Proud Jane, I haven’t been reading your blog for very long, so I haven’t read all of Proudhon’s posts (and likely won’t). However, I *was* following the “Obama … Dr. Evil” post and comments thread that Mick referenced to Proud Jane, and I never considered Proudhon’s comments to be offensive or “potty”-mouthed. I enjoy many of the posts here, including those by people who clearly hate Proudhon, but I very much enjoy a discussion that allows all points of view. I respect the fact that this is *your* blog and that you make the decisions about its content – but I will miss Proudhon. (Also, this is a pet peeve, but no one – except maybe Kevin and of course Proudhon – seems to know Proudhon’s gender, but people refer to Proudhon alternately as “he/him” and “she/her.” It drives me nuts!)
@James – We are on the same page (for lack of better phrase) about lots so far, including the Mr. T reference: my kids use that phrase a lot, and I love it! My husband was a David Letterman fan at the same time you were (I didn’t watch much TV growing up) and had gotten me into him, too. We haven’t watched that show for a long, long time. And yeah, I have to admit that a conversation between Kevin and Dave could be pretty funny. (I’ll watch it on YouTube …

I admit I used to watch The A Team. A silly show but Mr. T made it worth watching IMO. I started watching Dave when he first started on The Late Show. I was actually pulling for him when Johnny Carson announced his retirement but now I’m glad Jay Leno got it. Personally I can’t stand Conan O’Brian. I don’t know his politics but I just don’t like him. Anyway, Dave started to change a couple of years after Bush was elected. His jokes began as good nature but steadily got more and more vicious until he was the male version of Jeanine Garafalo.
But anyway what I wanted to ask you is where did you get the smiley?
Marie-Jeanne Cotner says:

@James – I was very surprised to see that what I’d typed turned into a smiley face: I just typed a colon and then a RH parenthesis (sp?) mark. Somehow it turned into a real, yellow smiley when I hit the Submit Comment button.
I’m not sure, but I bet my husband got into Letterman the same way you did. Apparently he used to get out of bed and watch Carson when the household was asleep, starting when he was little.
The show we stopped watching after Bush took office was Chris Matthews’! During the Monica Lewinsky scandal, he was often fun to listen to, and he had interesting guests, too. Things changed immediately after Clinton left… Yikes.

@Roosevelt Moore
“Now let the rest of us hold intelligent debate without the potty mouth attitude.” Did you really say this? You are joking right? I guess what you meant to say is, ‘now let us praise the master with no one making us feel bad’. I can see how a nice debate it can be!…..oh nice rant Kevin….oh I love it…yes it is very nice…oh yes it is very good…no room for a different opinion to entertain. I like what Marie-Jeanne said about proud hon.
At times he may have said something not agreeable with the position you are taking. But he wasn’t the one that truly fits your description. I understand that this is Kevin’s property and he may do as he wishes. But I don’t see how you say only your side of the story and sometimes a little degrading comments about others and call it a debate. You may hate me for this and advocate for my blockade…but then again if I am not saying anything other than that…go Kevin..go Kevin…I love your rant, what is the point?
p.s. So far, Kevin (the blog owner) James H, and Marie-Jeanne are the people worth reading their posts and I will do so until you advocate for my removal from the site.

Curious Jane I think you are Proudhon in disguise and Marie-Jeanne…so be it…
I’ve only been reading this blog for about two weeks. Do enjoy Kevin very much. Ordered his book on Amazon and I’ve read jj’s book “When Bikers Meet Humans” which you can obtain on EBAY. If you like jj’s comments you’ll definitely enjoy his book.
What I have trouble understanding is if you disagree with Kevin then why do you comment here? Shouldn’t you objectors be devoting your time at the Huntington Post with Ariana or those sponsored by MSNBC?
Curious Jane says:
October 4, 2009 at 10:42 pm
Let me just add to the chorus. I spent the afternoon (while my husband watched the Twins game – go Twins!) reading Proudhon’s posts in the “Obama is Dr. Evil,” and the “Kevin School’s a Liberal Youth” video from the main page. I have to say, there doesn’t seem to be much animosity coming from her (him?). The “Kevin Schools a Liberal Youth” one is practically a love fest. After reading that, and reading this from today’s Post (http://bit.ly/A5NdR), I fear that we are going to develop a reputation for being good organizers but poor thinkers.
Inspired by that article, I watched some William F Buckley videos on YouTube (I highly reccomend it if you’ve got some time to kill). Here’s a guy who when faced with people like Noam Chomsky, just plain out-argued them. He didn’t kick them out of his studio. Here it just seems like Proudhoun out-argued you all, so you got the blog moderator to kick him out. If that’s the kind of place you want (a cheerleading section, like JJ Solari sayys) then I don’t need to be here.
Curious Jane says:
October 4, 2009 at 10:47 pm
Sorry Mick, I didn’t see your comment (I’m a slow typer). No I’m not her (him?). I just agree with some of the others here that debate is a good thing, and that banning people because we don’t like their ideas, rather than proving them wrong, makes us look bad. But again, new here, so maybe that is what you do here. If that’s so, then I don’t need to stay.
Mick says:

Curious Jane…you are Proudhon. No doubt about it! Oh, and I must add the American League finals will be the Yankees and Red Sox, which according to most sports analysts will be the real world series.

I haven’t seen much “debating” just arguing. As for PH, his posts were exhausting and nonsensical. Kevin should limit the length of the responses. Personally, I don’t come here for debate, rather, I joined this group to share like ideas and perhaps learn more from people with similar outlooks as Kevin’s, and mine. Not to have to read how ignorant we are simply because we do not choose to hear “the other side”. I’m sure most of us are adults with mature opinions reached over years of experience. I am not here to be swayed by an opposing opinion, simply want to stay in the loop about what’s going on to save our country and constitution. Not to learn how the other half feels. I don’t care.

@Curious Jane – I don’t ban people for their ideas. I allow liberal monkeys in here, just to show my fans what they look like. I’m revealing this now, but people PAY to see those oddballs, and we talk about them at cocktail parties. When they have no further humorous value to me and the paying clients, I then ban them! Be happy that they get an audience to your silly-ass ideas from time to time, else who but your fellow inmates would listen?
Buckley is my idol, and I assure you that I can outdebate ANY liberal and in Buckley’s professorial way. However, this is an educational and satirical blog, and not some highbrow talk show.

Letterman didn’t just dump on Sara Palin, he dumped on a baseball player and Sara’s daughter. This proves the man has lost decency. Don’t throw stones from inside your glass castle, Dave. You were funny back in the 1980’s when you were neglected in the late night slot. Now you tell sad jokes, you are one.

@ James H – I think the answer to your question is “… someone who is too wimpy to take responsibility for making fun.” Let’s see if *this* emoticon turns yellow: 
@ Jim Badger – Agreed. Did anyone see the clip of Letterman “apologizing” to his audience and wife amidst a series of jokes? I thought the jokes were actually funny out of context, but given the situation — puh-leez!!

maybe. I just read a comment from him and he sounds conservative. But ya never know. We’ll see. They always show their colors sooner or later.

Letterman is fine; he never was the “Family Values” type. Yes, he probably cheated on his girlfriend now wife. But at least he does go around claiming he is Mr. “Family Values” like some of our politicians/ preachers (can you just see the grin on all “Fake News” reporters/ commentators and the Palin fringe). This has been a tough summer, for Dave, for our economy but at least he did not end up on the “Republican 2009 Summer of Love” list: Assemblyman, Michael D. Duvall (CA), Senator John Ensign (NV), Senator Paul Stanley (TN), Governor Mark Sanford (SC), Board of Ed Chair, and Kristin Maguire AKA Bridget Keeney (SC).
Marie-Jeanne Cotner says:
October 9, 2009 at 12:23 pm
@ Paul – Look at the difference between the reaction on the right to all the cases you mentioned. People on the right are disgusted at those people and their hypocrisy. (I can’t tell you how many calls I heard on talk radio by folks complaining that Mark Sanford had let “us” down.) Now look at Letterman’s fans. The same crowd that’ll typically scream and yell about sexual harassment in the workplace etc. are busy contorting themselves to justify Letterman and make excuses for him. He has shown himself to be a disgusting, sexist scumbag – not to mention a hypocrite, for making fun of other guys who chose exactly the same behavior he did. Even Bill Clinton didn’t do *that*.
Marie-Jeanne Cotner says:
October 9, 2009 at 12:24 pm
oops. The first sentence in my last post is missing “and the reaction on the left” after “the right.”

Letterman is an obnoxious punk.I wouldn’t be surprised if the person he got caught cheating with was Paul Shaefer…..don’t know if I spelled that correctly.
Roman Polanski only has to do a couple of months,right? Why is that so bad?
