    I have been a fan of David Letterman, but his trying to eliminate Sarah Palin from politics by insults constantly would make me withdraw from any fan club he would form. Carson's abuse and harassment of Quail, of a man who would had been a great politician, was effect enough to hurt Quails chances, and I ended up disliking Carson. It is abuse of the media. There should be laws againist using and media to discredit anyone. I wonder how Dave would like it if 5 days a week I put him down in the media. He would do everything to stop my voice, so called freedom of speech. That I don't think want they meanth by freedom of speech. That is out and out hate and abuse.

    I love Dave, but I think the beard makes him look 20 years older. He looks better without it, but he knows that. He said he kept seeing himself in the monitor on the show, and wondering who that guy is.
