Yes, a "gag" and now I gag to think I fell for it.

Hmm, let's see, would I rather have dinner with Palin or Letterman? Palin.

Would I rather hunt with Palin or Letterman? Palin.

Would I rather clean the cat box with Palin or Letterman? Palin.

Here's one Letterman can try:

'Which person would you trust to not commit adultery behind your back - Sarah or Letterman?'

Or how about, 'Which person is more likely to engage in sordid affairs with his/her subordinate employees behind their spouse's back?'

Or 'Who is most likely to use their position as a club to force employees into bribed sex relationships?'

Or 'Who is more likely to be blackmailed because of perverted sex affairs with interns at a TV studio?'

A million laughs, no?

with Sarah Palin borders on being creepy...Personally, I think part of all this "Sarah-obsession" is that Letterman has a secret, first-class case of the hots for her, and knowing that he'd never stand a chance with her, he trashes her. This guy needs therapy (and marriage counseling)...

What a jerk. 

"The problem is not that people are taxed too little...the problem is that government spends too much." ~President Ronald Reagan

Letterman and his writers have to be seen in the context of addiction, such as gambling and alcoholism.  They are behaving exactly the way you would expect any 12-step program member would, when you see the continual "I'm sorry" false apologies and the attraction to just one more Palin joke too many.

Addicts often claim they are not responsible for their actions, and tend to blame others or a nameless, faceless entity they usually call a "disease".  There are many forms of mental illness that do arise from organic disease states and from neurochemical imbalances, but the type of addiction that I see in Letterman and his writers is behaviorally focused and motivated primarily by a desire to gain and keep attention through bad behavior.  This is common not only to addicts, but also flows into some borderline narcisisstic personality disorder patients.  In many cases, addicts and BPD patients have a common diagnosis but a differential in terms of behavioral (addiction) versus organic (concomitant mood or dissociative) associations.  The behavioral component comes into play when you notice the repeated cycle of taking a point too far, retracting then advancing again until a specific limit is reached.  Thus, you have this cycle which manifests itself until proper intervention.

I don't know what the proper intervention would be for Letterman or his writers, because the normal limits that apply to BPD patients in terms of treatment do not work on all addictive behavioral subtypes.  For example, you mix the asinine behavior towards his staff that reaches to a level of sexual harassment, yet he makes an insincere apology and then blames others.  Lather. Rinse.  Repeat.  He certainly is a strange man, and by all that I can observe from his behavior and actions, an unrepentant addict who delights in causing pain without any sense of guilt.  Interesting sociopathic bent to this.

is titled "Going Rogue."

 Dave's is titled "Going Roue," with the G-spot deleted. His humor used to be called "edgy," but now it's just "eddy" (g-spot removed), just kind of swirling around, circling the drain. He thought he was "king of late night comedy," but now he's just "kin of comedy" (g-spot removed).

 Bada-bing, bada-boom. 

No need to waste anyones time with the Likes of Dave Letterman. The sooner he becomes yesterdays news, the better.

Scotty, this is one of those parralel planets like earth. except here the morons are in charge. Hurry beam me up.

#9 - Spend time thinking about "knocking up" a 15 year old (sex irrelevant).

#4 - Bang a female staffer that accompanied me on vacation with my wife and son.

And the #1 answer - Spend an hour each night with my face up the President's backside.

Gun Control - The theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and strangled with her own pantyhose, is somehow morally superior to a woman explaining to police how her attacker got that fatal bullet wound.

I understand Mr. Letterman’s real wife is number 7 on his top ten list?
