David Letterman is like 2009's Arsenio Hall


David Letterman used to be the Maverick of late night talk shows. He was the most witty, the most daring, and the most entertaining. Johnny Carson passed up Dave to be his successor and now I know why. Dave Letterman has become, or perhaps always was, a self absorbed, arrogant prick. Yeah, I agree his dry sense of humor is smart and maybe once upon a time, fresh, but now, he's turned into a bitter self entitled old geezer that thrusts his political agenda down the throat of America. I can hardly stand to watch Conan's epileptic, idiot hair laden intro, nor can I stand Jay's sell out from hard core dirty comedy routine to mainstream PG America. That being said, Letterman has taken the cake of obnoxious asswipes.

Letterman, in a monologue Monday, exposed his political agenda and his senility.

He noted that the 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate attended a Yankees game during a trip to New York City, where she was honored by a special needs group. Letterman referred to Palin, Alaska's governor, as having the style of a "slutty flight attendant."

The "Late Show" host then took a shot Palin's daughter, while poking fun at the Yankees' third baseman.

“One awkward moment for Sarah Palin at the Yankee game," Letterman said, "during the seventh inning, her daughter was knocked up by Alex Rodriguez.”

Letterman, you've jumped the shark. I will never watch your show again and allow you to force your ideologies down my throat. Besides, just in case Alzheimer's is contagious through television, I'll stay away for that reason too. You senile jackass.

Late night, in my opinion, is dominated by Craig Furgeson. It's not even close.
