[Guest post by DRJ]
The Chicago Tribune, sister paper of the L.A. Times, runs a political column called The Swamp. One of today’s columns involves Sarah Palin and includes this David Letterman clip the Swampettes describe as: See Letterman’s fun with Palin last night here.
Fast forward to 1:55 if you want to skip Letterman having “fun” with NBC’s Olympics:
Making Sarah Palin look stupid never gets old for Dave, does it?

Letterman is a prick….
No, wait….a prick is a part of a man, and he doesn’t even qualify there….

Letterman embodies everything i hate about New York and its residents.
(i’d express my disdain in more colorful terms, but i want to be able to drink beer with our host again one day. %-)

It would appear that I miss nothing not watching Late night TV (is that what passes for comedy these days?)

Hey, Dave’s just trying to invent an imaginary friend he can relate to.
Comment by sherlock (e1e91e) — 3/2/2010 @ 8:29 pm
It doesn’t take much to make Sarah Palin look stupid. Maybe a tape recorder.
Comment by Leviticus (30ac20) — 3/2/2010 @ 9:00 pm
What also isn’t abating is Letterman looking old, stupid, and without class.
Comment by Blacque Jacques Shellacque (5ef35b) — 3/2/2010 @ 9:04 pm
Well, Leviticus, its not like Obama has been having a hard time doing it with a video recorder.
Comment by SPQR (26be8b) — 3/2/2010 @ 9:05 pm
I concur.
Comment by Leviticus (30ac20) — 3/2/2010 @ 9:09 pm
It seems that Letterman only ridicules women who refuse to sleep with him…
Comment by CliveStaples (b6d4da) — 3/2/2010 @ 9:22 pm
true dat: willful misperception is easy to come by, especially when it’s a popular meme…. everyone wants to be one of the k3wl k1dz!
of course, that doesn’t mean it’s true, just popular.

“… athleeetics …” ? Who is the “stupid” one ?
Comment by Alasdair (205079) — 3/2/2010 @ 11:11 pm
Only the most obtuse of liberals would have a difficulty grasping that, YES, there is a time delay in an audio signal traveling from New York to Alaska – a basic scientific principle is such a chore for them to understand, so why bother? But this is Dave Letterman, so I’ve repeated myself with the phrase “obtuse liberal.”

“Making Sarah Palin look stupid never gets old for Dave, does it?”
On the one hand, I’d love to see her gone from the public discourse. On the other, she does make it entertaining.

Anybody that Letterman does not like, I like. He’s a nasty, filthy jerk. In another time, he would have been the boy on the hogfarm whose job was to swill the hogs. Now, he does it figuratively. Yes, I am calling Letterman’s audience pigs.

This is the idiocy in part peddled by Lindsey that we are trying to avoid, a solution to a non existent
problem, which makes the Saudis, the Russians, and
the clique around Chavez imminently richer:

I think palin was on Leno last night. I wonder who won the ratings game? (Actually, I’d be surprised if Letterman even came close, but I’ve been surprised before).
I guess if the producers and sponsers of Letterman are content with their niche market, whether it be small or not, they’ll keep at it. Like movie production companies that make R rated movies when all of the big hits are PG-13 or less.

“Anybody that Letterman does not like, I like”
How does this rule interact with Letterman’s “Top Ten New Jobs for Milli Vanilli” ?
“This is the idiocy in part peddled by Lindsey that we are trying to avoid, a solution to a non existent
problem, which makes the Saudis, the Russians, and
the clique around Chavez imminently richer:”
I’m not so sure that fuel taxes would make those guys richer. In fact it seems aimed at capturing money before it goes to them.

You tax gasoline at that level, you make it unprofitable for domestic producers to drill, whichgives an advantage to foreign parties, like those mentioned about. You also make everything made from petroleum, uses petroleum, in industrial production exceedingly expensive. and yes, MD, Jay crushed Letterman, in part thanks to Sarah

“You tax gasoline at that level, you make it unprofitable for domestic producers to drill, whichgives an advantage to foreign parties, like those mentioned about. ”
The tax would be applied to gasoline no matter the source. Why would that impact a foreign or domestic supplier of raw materials differently?
“You also make everything made from petroleum, uses petroleum, in industrial production exceedingly expensive.”
From a tax on petroleum? Sure. From a tax on gasoline? Not so sure. A tax on gasoline would make it more attractive for petroleum to be used to instead make other, untaxed products.

13, I’d like to see you gone from the public discourse, clown.
Levi, take away the teleprompter from Obama, and he is the clueless, stupid fool, worse than you think Palin is.
One difference, Palin is genuine American. Obama is fake American.

I’d love to hear sarah palin take questions from teh house GOP.
“One difference, Palin is genuine American. Obama is fake American.”
Oh?
Comment by imdw (a90358) — 3/3/2010 @ 7:14 am
Dave takes advantage of the fact that too many public-school educated Americans don’t have any idea where Alaska is, especially relative to New York City, from where Sean Hannity was speaking to her (roughly 4,400 miles by road). But more importantly: If there was any question why Letterman has his lunch eaten by Leno whenever they go head-to-head, that gag about the Olympic highlights should answer it. How long did he blather on setting up that three second stick-figure animation “punch line”? Are there people with paying jobs who thought that joke needed that much setup?

Yes, he is totally alien to the typical American responses, maybe his growing up in Indonesian and his left indoctrination at the hands of Ayer,s Wright, Bell, Ogilvy, is responsible for this

Let’s be clear about it… Palin frightens imadeedoo and others like it. Makes the fur stand up on its neck. Makes it snivel and cower like a cur.
Comment by GeneralMalaise (2e0f70) — 3/3/2010 @ 7:38 am
24, Palin was right about the double McTwist 1260 the White House attempted on Health Care takeover. Now imd-dumbcrapweasel has attempted one, and just did a face plant on concrete.

“Let’s be clear about it… Palin frightens imadeedoo and others like it. Makes the fur stand up on its neck. Makes it snivel and cower like a cur.”
I’m often left speechless by her. But fright doesn’t quite capture it, though there are momentary shudders. I prefer not to dwell on her unseriousness, but on McCain’s for picking her. However, what we are likely to see is not McCain’s unseriousness re: Palin going forward, but more and purely her own.

imadouchebag’s right – we’re much better off with that noted MENSA Biden.
