So, this Letterman "scandal"...

I don't really think it's a scandal at all. Letterman has had sex with some of his female staff...oh no, who cares? The man was single for like 20 years & single people often tend to sleep with coworkers, it's convenient. Anyway, the scandal I guess is that someone was trying to blackmail him with the dirt about the "terrible things" he has done. Well, Letterman & the DA "paid" the blackmailer $2M (on a fake check) to silence them & then they must have been taken into custody since Letterman had to testify before the grand jury. The article doesn't say if the blackmailer is someone who worked for him or was involved in any sexual activity with him but they apparently had some dirt because they said they wanted to write a screenplay about his behavior. Anyway, I don't really give a shit...do whatever you want so long as you stay funny & deal with your family matters with your family. I do think it is great that he took to his show with his statement rather than letting the info just leak out & for him to be misrepresented in the matter.

Team Letterman!

Ok, I'm sure more of you are aware of the controversy around David Letterman & Sarah Palin & the tacky yet funny joke(s) he told about her daughter Bristol Palin (18) being impregnated by A-Rod (33) while in town for a Yankees game. Basically Dave told a joke about Bristol getting knocked up by A-Rod which is fitting since he's a dog & Bristol did get knocked up at a young age...I don't see how a joke is any more "disgusting" than the truth! I feel as though Palin is embarrassed by her daughter being a slut & a young unwed mother so she chose to try to direct the attention away from those FACTS claiming that the joke was about raping her 14 year old daughter (she obviously has too many kids if she didn't get the joke). I also think that Sarah is just trying to remain in the spotlight, she was on American Chopper for Christ's sake! Anyway, I think Sarah needs to get off the Moose she rode in on (and then shot) and just continue being a clueless dip shit. If she is going to make a point of calling Letterman out for his jokes she should probably not jump the gun as to what they are referencing. My biggest issue with all of this crap is that all these dip shit people are bombarding the Late Show studio demanding that Letterman lose his job. Are you effing kidding me? You want someone to lose a job because they told a joke that pissed someone else off? I don't understand the logic of the American people anymore, well at least the Republicans. Can I also say that these people going on and on about Dave joking about raping a 14 year old girl & how disgusting it is should acknowledge the fact that Palin accepted Dave's apology (probably because she knew she was wrong) & they should too. Check out the video below that shows the protest going on outside the studio & look at how many people are just as stupid as Palin & obviously are believing what they are told rather than the truth. Please follow this link to get the whole story (from Huffington Post) & to see the video of Letterman clarifying & apologizing for the joke(s) which he also re-tells to get the point across.

David Letterman Marries...Finally

David Letterman (61) finally married his girlfriend of 23 years Regina Lasko (apparently ageless) last Thursday. Regina isn't just his wife now, she's also the mother of their 5 year old son Harry. According to a transcript from his show David had this to say " ... I had avoided getting married pretty good for, like, 23 years, and I -- honestly, whether this happened or not -- I secretly felt that men who were married admired me ... like I was the last of the real gunslingers".

The couple married in a simple & quiet courthouse ceremony in Montana near their ranch. Harry was there to share the day with his parents.
