David Letterman, the Hypocrite?
By Kyle | October 3, 2009
Of all places, my former employer the AP asks whether there is a hypocrisy case to be made against David Letterman. My guess is that Dave won’t be doing a lot of infidelity jokes on the air anymore…..he’s going to be in a sort of Ted Kennedy during the Clarence Thomas hearings situation. Of course, Letterman, who was an alcoholic when he was working comedy clubs in the 1970s, had a great deal of fun making fun of Ted Kennedy in the early 90s.

Letterman is fine; he never was the “Family Values” type. Yes, he probably cheated on his girlfriend now wife. But at least he does go around claiming he is Mr. “Family Values” like some of our politicians (can you just see the grin on all “Fake News” reporters/commentators). This has been a tough summer, for Dave, for our economy but at least he did not end up on the “Republican 2009 Summer of Love” list: Assemblyman, Michael D. Duvall (CA), Senator John Ensign (NV), Senator Paul Stanley (TN), Governor Mark Stanford (SC), Board of Ed Chair, and Kristin Maguire AKA Bridget Keeney (SC).

I think what Paul is saying is that you can’t be a hypocrite if you don’t have any standards.

Teddy had fewer lines in the Thomas hearings than Marcel Marceau in “Silent Movie.”

We’ll see soon if the Curse of A-Rod remains in effect.

I believe that the American people can see the distinction between a Late Night jokester and a Politician / Preacher who preaches one thing and lives another. And I also believe that the American people will have more compassionate about this situation, but who knows what the court case will reveal. I guess sexual harassment suit can be filed (I have not heard of one) but until then, who cares what consenting adults do. We all know that there are laws for regular folks and laws for those who have influence and power. Kinda like the military they all get different spanks for different ranks.
Let’s remember “Those who are not willing to give pardon and mercy are those that do not need pardon and mercy. By the way, who are any of us to cast stones?
