Letterman: Why Can't We Pray Away Michele Bachmann's Memoirs?
Is there anything David Letterman hates more than conservative women?
On Wednesday's "Late Show," the host went after Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann saying, "She is now publishing her memoirs, and I thought, well, wait a minute, why can't we pray that away?" (video follows with transcript and commentary)
DAVID LETTERMAN, HOST: How about that Republican presidential candidate, Michele O’Bachmann [sic]? Isn't she something?
PAUL SHAFFER: Michele Bachmann.
LETTERMAN: Yes. She is now publishing her memoirs, and I thought, well, wait a minute, why can't we pray that away?
[Laughter and applause]
SHAFFER: All right, there you go.
For those wondering, that's not a spelling error. Letterman for months has been saying Michele O'Bachmann in possibly a play on the first lady's name.
Isn't that hilarious? So wasn't Letterman's next so-called joke:
LETTERMAN: And Michele O’Bachmann’s got that haircut. Have you seen that haircut on the woman? It's all the rage. Oh man, if you want to get one of those Michele O’Bachmann haircuts, go into the nearest beauty salon and ask for the whacko. That will get you where you want to be.
Side-splitting, isn't it?
Yet his New York audience ate it up.
As they say, there's no accounting for taste.

If Letterman isn't having sex
Submitted by rbosque on Fri, 09/02/2011 - 6:02pm.
If Letterman isn't having sex with interns or getting death threats from Muslims, he's out bashing Conservatives. Perhaps Letterman should clean up his own personal life before casting aspersions.
At least before a Muslim wacks him.

Actually I think the Muslim threat was to cut out his tongue.
Hhhhmmmmm.
I think that would be a career booster for Letterman

then he wouldn't have to keep doing those lame top 10 lists that aren't funny, but Bubbles Brzezinsky would still find them amusing on Morning Shmoe.

Letterlib sexually exploited his female employees for decades and treated his new wife like dirt. Who would watch his crummy show knowing what a low life scum he really is?

He is not funny, he is totally disrespectful. he is ugly as sin,and he is the dumbest jerk on tv. does he threaten his audience to laugh at his bashing? They laughed their fool heads off when he made the Rodriquez joke and Palin's daughter. who is sicker, him, or his "laughing " audience. Wish he would retire and go away with D. Rather

answered if you believe in a God other than "government" which is unlikely for Letterman who is a self-righteous, pompous a$$ like all Marxist Democrats and their media shills.

Many years ago Charlie Daniels put out a CD of Christian music, The Door. One of the songs on it was Praying to the Wrong God. You touched upon some of the lyrics. Every time I hear one of these pompous a-hole mention God or praying I think of the song.

"Michele O'Bachmann in possibly a play on the first lady's name."

David Letterman is an old and decrepit philanderer desperately trying to hang on to a steadily faltering gig on late night TV, courtesy of the uber liberal hacks running CBS. He has no shame and no self-pride. What he calls comedy, most would call unnecessary and ill-advised. But, eventually, $ponsor$ will abandon a sinking ship and the plug will invariably get pulled at some point.
The handwriting is on the wall for many of these late night guys with Letterman most likely being among the first to go the way of the Edsel. Don't let the door hit you on the way out, Dave.
We're not sorry to see you go.

Can't we pray away Letterman? He's a loser. Stopped being funny ten years ago.

the Cancellation of David Letterman's pathetic, white, and extremely lame TV show. At this point, Paul Shaeffer is funnier than Letterman, and Paul Shaeffer is about as funny as a man with stoneface.
God Doesn't Work That Way

Letterman should realize that God doesn't listen to peoples prayers that seek harm to another individual. If he did Letterman would have assumed room temperature years ago.
