The women he was involved with have nothing but praise for him. One of them said she would have married him. I'm really astounded that you've never had any flings of your own. Otherwise, you'd have to stop watching yourself in the mirror. I'll bet Mark Foley, Larry Craig, David Vitter, John Ensign, Alan David Berlin (of Pennsylvania, the furry who contacted a fifteen year old boy over the internet, and offered to "yiff" the boy in a panda outfit, while his parents weren't home), Ted Haggard, and a host of other Republican perverts were just fine and dandy with you. Oh, but a man who has consensual sex with women...you call him "the most disgusting pervert" you've ever seen on TV. Give me a break.

He is the most disgusting pervert I have ever seen on TV. As long as he has a job on CBS "Crude Bastards Stations" I will NEVER watch CBS again. David “The Scumbag” Letterman should be fired.

The backfire came sooner that I expected but well justified. He was disgusting them, now he is even more... Did he really think he would go impunr after all he did to Palin’s?

If he were getting defensive about others making jokes about his situation, then he WOULD be a hypocrite. But he isn't. He's making jokes about himself! And Dave has never presented himself as morally superior to everyone else. His job is to make jokes. They're jokes, not moral judgments. Since when do we demand purity from our comedians? If Dave jokes about the next public figure in a scandal, I'm sure he'll find a way to make it funny. He'll probably point a finger at himself at the same time.
