David Letterman is a jerk
And a creepy one, too
Okay, you knew that already, right? Call me Captain Obvious. So
where’s the news? It seems that the
overpayed late night host had See-BS anchor Katie Couric as a guest
Thursday night, and in the conversation between these two media
giants Sarah Palin’s name came up. Letterman couln’t resist
sharing:
Essentially out of nowhere, here she is, can’t name a
newspaper, wants to be vice president, the first vice-presidential
candidate that I found myself being aroused about.
In that one sentence, The Jerk (Dave, not Katie. See-BS has so many
jerks that it’s work to keep them sorted out) proved himself wrong
in three ways:
- Palin didn’t come out of “nowhere.” She came out of Alaska, a
state we depend on for 20% of our oil and what will be an
increasing share of our natural gas over the next few
decades. - Sure, she can name a newspaper. She knows and reads her
hometown paper (The Frontiersman) and her
state’s largest paper (the Anchorage Daily News). Gov.
Palin knows that last one very well, because as a liberal rag in a
conservative state, it has a record of being very critical of her.
She can name other papers, including the New York Times, but I
doubt that she reads that one as it is written for and by liberal
elites. The fact is, Palin was so miffed that Couric would ask her
such a question, one which Katie didn’t ask of Obama, Biden or even
John McCain when she interviewed them, that the governor chose not
to answer it. Instead she informed Couric that yes, they get
newspapers way up there in Alaska. They also have automobiles, cell
phones and all sorts of way-kewl things. - Of Dave being “aroused” by Gov. Palin, Mary Matalin told Greta
Van Susteren:It’s just sort of creepy in that high school-boy way.
You’re from the Midwest. Your mom said that boys that are talking
aren’t getting any. It kind of creeped me out in that
way.It is indeed creepy. Dave’s arousal is no creepier than, say, the
thrill
that Barack Obama sends up Chris Matthews’ leg, but a solid 8.9 on
the Creep-O-Meter nevertheless. - JP
