It was GM ( GrandMaster ) bringing in the rapper lingo- I'm referring to your numerous reference's to pregnant - underage ? girls keeping their legs closed - be responsible for your emotions and hormones even though they are girls- . Slut innuendo ? Letter never called anyone a slut- And ultimately caring the most about the burden placed on the taxpayer- 90 per cent of the post here usually contain " we the taxpayer somewhere "- Maybe a good illustration that the way you say something is as important as what you say -
Letterman apologized but his only fan keeps up the defenses. You have the wrong daughter-she is not "in the public eye" -she is not a public figure-she's a girl that doesn't deserve this treatment. Letterman said her mother "has a slutty flight attendent look". Real funny joke for morons?
Letterman is a washed up talk show host. Comedian? A comedian is funny. A comedian does not attack 14 year old girls with rape jokes. If he did that with Clinton's daughter he would have been thrown in prison.
Steve Tomassone, Mertz and signore should all be fired for wasting taxpayers dollars on frivalous lawsuits and hirings. They "raped" the public with their shady dealings and sledgehammer tactics. Letterman made a mistake and apologized for it. When is the last time you heard these three amigos admit fault for the sad state of affairs in the Town Hall? Steve's new moniker "Sista Sledge" He HE He
Thanks Salami for agreeing that Steve T Mertz and Signore are the laughing stocks of Rotterdam and should be fired. I knew you'd come around. Won't be long before you start bashing you running mate.
his running mate will get beat by Judy and Holly so they should get out of the race if they know how to keep themeselves out of the trouble of losing and humiliating them selves badly. plus the kids are young and could get the worng impression of the parents when they run for office by reading the bad things and that there. people I know in the know tell me that when you have the kids then you shoul not run for office since the kids then might end up hating the parents over there
Olive Garden yanks Letterman ads By Hanh Nguyen | June 18, 2009 12:29 PM ShareThis David Letterman is out of the Olive Garden family.
The "When you're here, you're family" restaurant chain has pulled its advertising that was scheduled to air this year during "The Late Show," reports Politico, because it's not happy with how Letterman acted regarding his jokes about Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's daughter.
"We apologize that Mr. Letterman's mistake, which was not consistent with our standards and values, left you with a bad impression of Olive Garden," Sherri Bruen, the company’s guest relations manager, writes in an email to a Letterman critic.
Despite Palin's accepting the talk show host's apology for his inappropriate comments, Conservative radio host John Ziegler has been spearheading a campaign to get Letterman fired. A small protest was held Tuesday outside of the "Late Show" studios.
Ziegler has also compiled a list of the show's advertisers, among them Olive Garden, on his website, FireDavidLetterman.com.
What I mean is exactly what I said- including dozens of post right here by Senders- Bumble -Shadow and other righteous posters in this forum . Just go back an read your own stuff you have said RIGHT HERE - Rappers ? I don't think so-
Well forgive me for wanting to raise the bar on society! I guess you would be just as content to live in this crap hole society that is continuing to get deeper. I mean why the hell should we strive for better? Funny, but when some people express their desire for a better, more sane, more moral, more accountable society...they are labled as bigots and self rightous. Hillarious!

You are posting bad information- I say AGAIN this is false-
It would appear that there are some conflicting stories about Olive Garden circulating around the internet that even the people at Olive Garden can't agree on. Both articles have the same date on them so both are recent releases would the real story please stand up.
Update: Olive Garden denies that they’ve pulled any ads, but refuses to say whether they’ll do any more buys for Letterman this year: The Olive Garden restaurant chain may not have been happy with David Letterman’s jokes about Gov. Sarah Palin and her family, but no order was issued to pull commercials from Mr. Letterman’s show, a spokesman for the company said Thursday. Rich Jeffers, the spokesman, said Olive Garden was attempting to counter what he called “erroneous information out there,” which he said came from the website Politico. The site posted a report by Andy Barr on Thursday saying that the restaurant was “cancelling all its scheduled ads” on Mr. Letterman’s show for the rest of the year. Mr. Jeffers said in a telephone interview that no such cancellation decision had been made and that the company’s schedule of commercials in the show had simply expired “earlier this month.” … Asked if Olive Garden would buy new commercials in the Letterman show, Mr. Jeffers said, “There has been no decision along those lines yet.” Still haven’t heard an announcement about Hellmans yet, either. Update II: I got the e-mails in question from Olive Garden and Unilever, the parent company of Hellmans/Best Foods, through John. The Olive Garden e-mail strongly suggests that the company had decided not to buy any more advertising. First, Olive Garden’s reponse: Dear [customer]: Thank you for expressing your concerns about Olive Garden and allowing us an opportunity to respond. We understand your concern about Mr. Letterman’s inappropriate comments. Olive Garden screens network television programs whenever possible. Telecasts, such as The Late Show with David Letterman, are taped on a daily basis, preventing advertisers from reviewing the content prior to airing. We apologize that Mr. Letterman’s mistake, which was not consistent with our standards and values, left you with a bad impression of Olive Garden. There will be no more Olive Garden ads scheduled for The Late Show with David Letterman in this year’s broadcast schedule. We have not yet finalized next year’s advertising plan but will consider our valued guests’ opinions when doing so. Again, thank you for contacting us with your comments, and we hope you will continue to think of Olive Garden as a place to visit with your family and friends. That actually gibes with both Politico and Olive Garden. It doesn’t claim that the restaurant will pull its ads because it acknowledges that there are no ads to pull — but then the e-mail claims it will not buy advertising on Letterman through the rest of the year, and then kind of retreats into the “no decision will be made” mode. Next, Unilever, which is more explicit: Hello, Thank you for contacting us regarding your disappointment with the program content which contained a commercial for a Unilever product. We never wish to offend anyone and your opinions are appreciated regarding this subject matter. Advertising for Hellmann’s or media buys are done months in advance and unfortunately we can’t foresee issues in the media before they come up. We appreciate the feedback from our consumers and we’ve decided to pull our online ads from the Letterman show from our advertising schedule moving forward. We hope that this information has given you a better understanding of our advertising practices. Thank you again for taking the time to share your views with us. You can be assured that your comments will be considered as we continue to challenge our perceptions about what is appropriate for us in today’s environment. Kind regards, Your friends at Hellmann’s/Best Foods I have a call into Unilever for a response, but that looks like an explicit statement of withdrawal. Update III: One commenter notes that Hellmans/Unilever is only threatening to pull their online ads. Perhaps that’s all they bought in the first place, or they may just be hedging their bets. The online ad revenue for CBS and Letterman will not be terribly substantial, though.

If this is a moral issue - it isnt about Letterman- dont blame him for the subject matter If it is about " political correctness"
For example Mel Brooks would not be making Blazing Saddles today - Brooks was equal-opportunity offender, he assalted the sensibilities of Native-Americans, Jews, Chinese, Irish, women, horses, the handicapped and others. If “Blazing Saddles” were pitched in Hollywood today, Brooks would have been hastily escorted off the lot, and executives would quickly issue a statement that the move had nothing to do with him being short and Jewish- the good old days ?

I agree....blazing saddles would not stand up to 'common place PC'.......I try to give everyone a great rollercoaster ride befriending, offending, befriending, offending,,,,etc etc........it's like lifting weights for relationships 101.....
this is what happens when we 'idolize' our entertainment crap and morons......shame on us........
...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......
The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
