Nobody can or ever will replace Johnny Carson. He truly was the KING of late night The only other late night host with true talent is Craig Ferguson. Hope he moves up to an earlier time slot. He is proud to be an American and I really admire that in him.

I don't believe Letterman should have apologized at all. I'm really disgusted by this thin-skinned, oh so delicate and oh so sensitive nonsense.
Is this what Americans have become? Weak-willed, thin-skinned, overly-sensitive soft-bellies who lose their friggin' minds over any stupid thingm someone says or does?
Where was all this sensitivity when Chelsea Clinton was getting ripped on a daily basis, by just about every talk show host and comedian....across the country? And a lot of republicans gleefully took part in the ripping of Chelsea. Talk show hosts like Rush Limbaugh and others were ripping a very young 12...13...14 year old Chelsea, on regular basis.
I don't recall Republicans being so sensitive and outraged when Chelsea was the butt of so many jokes. In fact, Republicans took great joy in the jokes and rips
Truth is, a lot of the jokes were quite mean-spirited and nasty. Yet, Americans some how survived (as did Chelsea) and managed to make it through eight years of the Clinton administration without a single protest, feigned outburst of feigned outrage.
So why is there a double-standard, here?
I don't think the joke was even that funny. But I will fight and defend his right to tell a joke.
Some people in this country are resembling that which they claim to fight against.
It makes me laugh how so many Americans characterize Islamic countries, yet, they are the very same people who have been creating this overly-sensitive, facist-minded environment in America; where no one can speak their mind or tell a joke without people going berzerk with this overly-PC cr*p.
P.S.
You're not an innocent child when you've had sex, got pregnant and delivered the baby.
Not saying I perceive sex as a horrible, shameful thing. I don't.
But for a Vice President candidate who ran her goofy campaign soley-based on the premise of a " Biblically Correct" moral platform; the Palin family sure are exposing themselves for the hypocritical liars they truely are.
P.S. II
Sarah Palin's campaign speeches routinely contained content that was much more vicious, much more nasty and much more offensive; than anything Letterman could ever say.
This is all a huge load of cr*p being exploited by some of the biggest hypocrites to ever step forth on a political stage.
