CBS can’t afford to lose any more audience. They would fire Couric first.

You know what they will say at CBS that goverment is tring to stick it nose is private business and i dont think would want them anyway because even it the repup party.they part of the goverment.i would rather see him canned because of rating going south or ad.dollar leaveing that is what all about.CBS still hasnt recieved bailout money. let him dig his own grave by running his big mouth .

The president fired the CEO of General Motors. His auto task force is making critical decisions could well determinine whether GM and Chrysler will even have a future. His administration forced Chrysler into a merger with FIAT, an Italian company.

In light of those and other recent intrustions into the private sector by the federal government, the “gov’t is trying to stick its nose into private business” argument won’t get much traction.

to allow any government representative to call the shots on a free speech issue. It is up to the citizens to exercise their free speech either out loud or by making a different late night entertainment choice if they disapprove. That is the way the America I know operates.

These days, he just seems to be a bitter shell of a human. It started gradually. He would drive unfunny attempts at humor into the ground. Anybody remember when Pataki was elected governor? Dave would incessantly make fun of his name. I was an idiot college student, drunk half the time, but still thought that was juvenile. Now he has nothing for material other than to pander to his largely liberal audience (the show is taped in Manhattan after all) and pick fights with guests such as Bill O’Reilly.
It’s obvious he’s still angry over not getting the Tonight Show gig. Jeez… get over yourself. You’re way more popular and successful than 99% of people in TV. But you can’t accept one thing that didn’t go your way… Sorry if I have a hard time relating, and an even harder time sympathizing.

We are already past that point. The rules have changed now. Those in power get to decide the constitution. So I believe our voice has to be heard by urging those in power of the many of us who disapprove anti-conservative biggotry and indeceny directed at innocent children. By all means FIRE HIM.

Where is the outrage from my fellow conservatives?

relevant and thoughtful posts off the page. There’s a reason for the size of the title block. But, your concerns are duly noted.

have a certain unintentional humor to them. Does anyone think for a moment that were Letterman’s target a prominent Democrat any letters would be necessary?
Right now DL would be sunning himself on a beach some where, sitting out his suspension, or at the least, beginning a lengthy groveling orgy. Or he might even be bounced, a la Imus. Then again CBS might organize a committee to investigate and spend weeks fussing over this, as they did with the lunatic Dan Rather.

Some things can be tolerated, others can’t be countenanced, it all depends on who you wish destroy and besmirch and who you wish to lie about and elevate.

I just sent this to CBS higher-ups:

To Whom It May Concern;

I would just like to point out the hypocrisy in CBS’s firing decisions should David Letterman receive NO punishment concerning his “jokes” about the sexual conduct of a minor. Were the jokes at the expense of African Americans instead of women (read: half of your audience) I think we have seen how swiftly CBS responds. Don Imus was history within a few days of his impromptu, off-color remarks. Mr. Letterman read his jokes from a prepared cue card, and still has offered no apology to American women.

A week has passed and we’re not giving up. We are still fighting on behalf of all women: our daughters, sisters, aunts and mothers who still face discrimination and humiliation for simply being intrinsically female. I have sent boycott letters to each of the Late Show’s sponsors. I hope you hear that women are not to be targeted no matter their age or political affiliation.

Don Imus was fired for insulting a group of young adult black women, to whom he later apologized. Letterman’s target was the fourteen-year old daughter of a white Conservative Republican, and he has yet to offer a formal apology. So, it is apparent that political orientation and racial background would make all the difference in the world, if Letterman would not be dismissed over this incident. Unless of course, the liberal elitists that run CBS are simply another pack of profit-oriented capitalists who care more about lining their pockets than dealing with what is right and what is wrong
