Lefty misspeaking

Hillary Clinton was named after Sir. Edmund Hillary, the first man to climb Mount Everest.

Bill Clinton did not have sex with that woman.

If you know what "is" the definition of "is".

Joe Biden is the only man in the world who knows of TV footage of President Roosevelt addressing the nation after the stock market crashed in 1929. (Many Americans said "who the hell is Franklin Roosevelt and what is a television?".

That's the same Joe Biden who's chopper had to land in the Waziristan region because of gunfire. Or snow. Honestly, does it matter?


Kind of like Hillary's sniper fire in Bosnia. Or was it Kosovo? Eh, who cares.

Hours after winning the election in November, Obama makes a joke about the former first lady: "I didn't want to get into a Nancy Reagan thing about, you know, doing any séances.". That was the first indication that the genius orator was teleprompter dependent.

Add that to the joke about "the special olympics or something" on Leno. Those retards sure are funny. Just ask the President.

That brings us to Mr. Letterman, the funny man who makes $30+ million a year and tells jokes about raping 14 year old girls while calling Alaska's governor a slut. Letterman, like the aforementioned Mensa members, "misspoke".

It happens. I often talk of my muslim faithful until Matt Lauer reminds me I'm a Christian. I too misspeak. In fact last week I went to the Synagogue on Friday night before realizing I was not a Jew. I "mis-prayed".

Like I said, it happens.

I think of Les Moonves, the CBS president who 8 days after the "nappy headed ho's" comment fired Don Imus. Imus initially dismissed the comments as "some idiot comment meant to be amusing". Apparently, they were not.

The next day, the next day, the VERY next day, Imus went on Al Sharpton's radio program "Stirring the Pot with Fat Al" (may not be the official title of the program but I couldn't find it online. Eh, who am I kidding, I didn't even look. I remember Tawana Brawley, Al.) Then Imus went to Rutgers to apologize to the players personally.

Les Moonves still fired Don Imus.

Les, what will you do with David Letterman? Will he be reprimanded? Suspended? Or just... ignored. I'm guessing the latter.

Dave retorts that he wasn't joking about Willow Palin (who is 14). He was joking about Bristol Palin who is 18. See, it's not so bad to make rape jokes about 18 year olds, so stop crying. Baby want a cookie now?

No comments about the Sarah Palin "slut" comments, however. That's fair game. Palin is a Republican.

Dave offers a non-apology. He hems and haws that he misspoke and the joke was in poor taste. And honestly, if you were Dave, would you gave a damn? You hate Sarah Palin (reasons unknown) and you know that no executive in CBS will scold you- so why bother?

Dave- wasn't your son the target of a foiled kidnapping plot a few years ago? Too bad it didn't happen because that would have provided late night comedy with TONS of material. Kidnapping kids is funny stuff, Dave. Like rape.

Les, the clock is ticking. You gave Don 8 days. You've given Dave 2. I'm curious to see what happens over the weekend in CBS. But I'm not holding my breath.

Go Connan.
