I haven’t wanted to countenance David Letterman’s abominable behavior, but it illustrates the utter hubris of 99% of the television and film industry. In a word, he doesn’t know what propriety is. Does he think joking about extortion and his sordid affairs with staffers 1/3 of his age is funny? He’s a pathetic aging talk show host–a creepy dirty old man as Palin rightly observes.
Now his attitude toward President Bush, Governor Palin and Obama makes more sense. He made fun of Bush relentlessly because the ex-president is not a womanizer, he had stopped using alcohol and was faithful to his wife. We know that Letterman is not capable of any of these things and we know why he didn’t marry the mother of his child until very lately. He attacked Palin’s girls and Palin herself with special vehemence and again he was really ridiculing her decency–something he has very little of. However, he sucks up to Obama and his minions when there is much to make fun of in the bungling group of suck-ups who work in the White House.
Let’s hope for a quick demise to Letterman’s career. He isn’t funny; he’s a self-indulgent, classless and a kind of social misfit whose vulgarity has kept up with the crassness in the culture. I do feel sorry for his mother.
