LETTERMAN SHOULD GO

KNOCKED UP CROSSED THE LINE

David Letterman’s smarmy remark about Governor Sarah Palin’s 14 year old daughter Willow getting Knocked Up by A-Rod during the 7th inning at Yankee Stadium is offensive, insulting and unforgiveable. CBS fired radio host Don Imus for a less egregious comment concerning nappy haired basketball players. But this is TV, the ratings are up, and Les Moonves, CBS’s President & CEO, can only be ecstatic. So the dilemma is, will the number of new viewers and advertisers outnumber and outweigh the loss of viewers and advertising revenue? Firing Letterman is not an option; they have no suitable replacement. But they need to fire someone. Heads should roll, at least the head writers'.

NB: CBS advertisers you might consider boycotting: Old Navy, Johnson & Johnson, Kellogg’s, Southwest Airlines, Olive Garden and T-Mobile. If you want Letterman fired, call Les at CBS: 212-975-4321, or http://www.firedavidletterman.com
