WTH? Moammar Gadhafi is still an Obama supporter?


Moammar Gadhafi wrote Obama a letter wishing him good luck in his bid for re-election next year.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi has appealed directly to President Barack Obama to halt what the Libyan leader called “an unjust war,” and wished Obama good luck in his bid for re-election next year.

In a rambling, three-page letter to Obama obtained Wednesday by The Associated Press, Gadhafi implored Obama to stop the NATO-led air campaign, which the Libyan called an “unjust war against a small people of a developing country.”

“You are a man who has enough courage to annul a wrong and mistaken action,” Gadhafi wrote in the letter that was sent to the State Department and forwarded immediately to the White House, according to a U.S. official who has seen the letter. “I am sure that you are able to shoulder the responsibility for that.”

Letterman Guest Robert Klein On Limbaugh's Good Health: "You lose some, you win some"


A couple of months ago Rush Limbaugh went to the hospital while in Hawaii. It turned out to be nothing serious. Letterman Guest Robert Klein said of Limbaugh's good fortune:
"Turned out to be nothing. See? You lose some, you win some. But anyway."

David Letterman thought that was funny...

Here is the transcript form NewsBusters.
DAVID LETTERMAN: I’m ignorant in the world of politics, and I don’t know what the people that believe, and the ones who do believe, who really believe that he wasn’t born in this country, that they claim that he hasn’t produced a birth certificate. Do you have any understanding of why we’ve selected this to worry about? I mean, I believe he was born in the United States.

ROBERT KLEIN: I’m not worried about it. It’s just, you know, dirty pool, and, you know, what’s his name, Rush Limbaugh, who believes so much in the sanctity of marriage he’s done it four times now, you know, but, you know, not if he, doesn’t approve of marriage if both the husband and wife are circumcised, you know, that’s out of the questions. I think a lot of that came from him and, you know, he was in the hospital couple of months ago in Hawaii. Turned out to be nothing. See? You lose some, you win some. But anyway.

Letterman loses sponsor over 'insulting' Palin joke


Now, we know the real reason Davide Letterman finally made an actual apology to Sarah Palin and her daughters. He is losing sponsors. First, Embassy Suites canceled their advertising, Now, Olive garden is pulling their ads.
The Politico reported:

Following a week of back and forth between CBS late night comic David Letterman and Sarah Palin over a crude joke he told about the Alaska Republican governor’s daughter, the Olive Garden restaurant says it is cancelling all of its scheduled ads on Letterman’s “Late Show” for the rest of the year.

In an email to a Letterman critic obtained by POLITICO, a spokeswoman for the Italian restaurant chain wrote that “there will be no more Olive Garden ads scheduled for ‘The Late Show’ with David Letterman in this year's broadcast schedule,” citing the talk show host’s “inappropriate comments.”

“We apologize that Mr. Letterman’s mistake, which was not consistent with our standards and values, left you with a bad impression of Olive Garden,” wrote Sherri Bruen, the company’s guest relations manager.

Bruen said the company “screens network television programs whenever possible,” but explained that “telecasts, such as ‘The Late Show’ with David Letterman, are taped on a daily basis, preventing advertisers from reviewing the content prior to airing.”

A spokesman for the company confirmed Thursday that for now it has cancelled all its remaining scheduled ads on the CBS program for the rest of the year.

Letterman makes another attempt at an apology to Palin and daughters (video)

David Letterman makes another attempt at an apology to Sarah Palin and her daughters for making a 'crude' joke about one of them having sex at a Yankees baseball game with Alex Rodriguez. This is a much better attempt than his last statement, but he doesn't come across as extermely sincere.

Olbermann Said Palin's a 'Delusional Lunatic' and Letterman's 'The Victim' (video)

"Countdown" host, Keith Olbermann, Said Palin's a 'Delusional Lunatic' and Letterman's 'The Victim' Friday evening. NewsBusters reported:
"Countdown" host Keith Olbermann Friday evening accused Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin of using her daughters, as well as the brouhaha surrounding jokes made about them by "Late Show" host David Letterman, to further her political career.

In a twelve minute segment about the former vice presidential candidate, Olbermann called her, "Sanctimonious, holier than thou, exploitative, undignified, pedantic, childish, self-inflicting, insipid, backwards, embarrassing, over-reactive, overreaching" as well as a "delusional lunatic."

Potentially even more disgraceful, in Olbermann's almost unimaginably perverted view, Letterman is actually "the victim" who has "continued to take the high road" in this sordid affair.

Here is the disgusting video.
