Even the Press is Going After Letterman

Now this is one of those controversys that is actually crossing party lines when the liberal media takes Letterman to task.

I don't agree with many things that Sarah Palin says, but she has solid grounds to be furious at David Letterman. After Palin's recent trip to Yankee Stadium with 14-year-old daughter Willow, he joked about the girl having sex with Alex Rodriguez. Letterman now says he was talking about 18-year-old Bristol, who had a baby out of wedlock last year.

But Bristol wasn't on the trip. Confusing Bristol with Willow is about as understandable as confusing Bristol with one of her brothers--or confusing Letterman with Leno.

I wouldn't confuse Letterman with Leno because I actually think Leno is decently funny. Letterman is a mean-spirited far-left curmudgeon that was edgy once and funny long ago. Now maybe this controversy can force him to retire once and for all and have Craig Ferguson (who is actually insanely funny) take his place.
